Day 5

Forgive me all, but the laziness has taken over. Summer does that to me, I become very distracted. I haven't written anything in the past two days. I'm thinking of doing the same thing I did last year, where I didn't use any technology for a month-asides from video games at night. However, that would be very difficult for me to do now. I have a lot of things I do on here now-blog, page, other sites along those lines. I need to somehow set a limit for myself, because if I don't...the entire summer will have consisted of me sitting in front of a monitor.

Day 3

Ahhhh!!!! I accidentally pressed enter too early DX

Anyway, my blog is going to be my summer writing diary. If that makes sense... Although I think that me counting down the days will make them go faster, which is something I do not want!!! Today I didn't get much done at all. Work interferes with my writing... I hope I can get in that 'perfect writing zone' again. I had it last night, but it's hard to find.

I'm a page away from being half-way done with Eternal Darkness... I hoped to finish before school started, so I'm trying to see if I can do it...

If only I wasn't so lazy...

Day 3

Summer Goals

I get so lazy in the summer, it's unreal!!! That is why I decided that I am going to set a goal for myself. I'm going to try and write eight pages in one sitting. I write with pencil so the task will be somewhat harder but I'm determined to make this goal. I rounded that the days would be 80, and this is day 2.

Day one was a bust but maybe today will be better... Although I haven't written at all today... This may be difficult...

Eternal Slumber


Tired of the fake smiles
Tired of putting on that happy face
Sometimes I dream of sleep
Of eternal slumber
Agonize no more
Pain dripping away
To be stripped free
Freedom
The feeling of the wind blowing against my wings
That's what I desire
That's what I want
How many would that be now
One
Two
Even more
How many white pills is it
To put me in that eternal slumber

Art

Writing to some is a chore, but to me, it's a type of art. You create pictures, splash images into the minds of others simply by using words. Art has no rules; so when it comes to writing, is it better to follow the rules, or break them? Sometimes those who bend the rules into their own are the ones who create masterpieces.

Fragments, run on sentences... Maybe they traditionally are frowned upon, but could they be the first step towards something great? Art is where your allowed mistakes, meaning I can go and find out
