I can't believe I have been writing fanfiction for as long as I have. It's been one of the few constants in my life. I'm ending my seventh year in the fanfic community and going into my eighth. I have gone from being a high school sophomore to a law school 1L.

Yes, you read that right. Law school. I decided to become a lawyer when I figured it was the professional school that would let me write the most. It was the worst mistake of my life. Law school destroys all of your writing sensibilities. It's not even good analytical writing. It's bad writing with legal terms of art thrown in everywhere. Since legal writing is this bad, I can never forgive myself if I became a lawyer. So after a semester of gritting my teeth and hating it, I will be trying to look for a writing job. I will probably be a struggling writer for the rest of my life, but I figure I'll be happier.

I probably won't be doing any creative writing. I'll be jumping into the world of journalism or copywriting. Wish me luck! I hope to eventually be happy with the career path I pick.

On that note, here is a new RK one-shot:
( A Believable Courtship )( Read more... )

Currently I am seriously flirting and possibly dating the idea of vignettes. I started thinking about my approach to writing fiction. So here is the low down:
100 or less word drabbles are like the h’ordeurves you get at parties. You see it, taste it and enjoy it for the hot second that it’s in your mouth. Then, it’s over. No commitment.

Short one-shots (you know, “stories” that feature only a scene or two) are like appetizers. You enjoy it for what it’s worth, but after you’re done you kinda wish there was more.

Extended one-shots are those stories that have a beginning, middle, and end –so it’s the first category to be a full meal. You went to a restaurant, sat down, ordered an entrée and left a 15 to 20 percent tip. You’re full, and you’re satisfied.

Epics are the bane of my existence and multi-chaptered, those are a seven course meal. You get tired half way through, so they bring out some sorbet to cleanse the pallet and all you’re thinking after the first plate of meat is: “Where’s the dessert?”

And song fics? Well they’re dessert. Unnecessary, but fun on occasion to have dessert as a meal –but it’s not something you find healthy.

So there’s my fiction theory... now off to write an appetizer.

And by experiencing writer's block I mean I'm really not in the mood to start up another fanfiction (although Quadrille of War is technically started and in hiatus... irrelevant I say). I'm a graduating college senior now and I really don't have the fanfiction drive that I used to. I don't care to expand upon other people's stories, because what about my own? But being that writing fiction is panning out to be a hobby more than anything, fanfiction is something I think I will eventually revisit. Eventually, it's just going to be my original stories with manga characters plugged in (then again that's what "Remembering You" was right? kinda). I don't exactly see myself legitly making money off my writing and so there it is. Kind of like how no one reads this blog. Blog shmog, this was the worst idea ever.

Peace out kids.

Am just the most ridiculous review whore or something? I FINALLY finished my fanfiction and what have I been doing multiple times a day since? Checking if anyone reviewed. Maybe I'm just wanting some feedback, but after 23 chapters I was hoping for some kind of review. I mean, I have gotten four reviews... but for some reason I wish I could get more feedback. I mean, did anyone even really like the last chapter? Sigh. I am a review whore.

Realized that I haven't posted on LJ for a VERY long time. And even longer ago was my last fanfic update... I'm the worst writer ever...
These days I've been addicted to the food network, TLC, and Bravo... I need to stop watching unnecessary cooking shows and write more. I've also been on a shopping kick and in desperate need to fund my ridiculous designer addiction (at the moment I have a hellish work schedule at a retail store).
Anyways, I've finally finished the last chapter of 'Remembering You' and all that is left is to do an edit (which in the end leaves a lot of errors) and a quick writing of the epilogue (and hopefully this time it won't take 9 months). I guess I better get started on that instead of wasting time here...

I don't want to ignore what happened at Virginia Tech yesterday. I'm in college at the moment, a large state college -similar in the format of Vtech. Everyone around me is shaken up by the incident and questions of "Could that happen on our campus?" keeps on coming up. Sadly enough it could happen so I pray for all my fellow students and future college students to make it through their education without something like yesterday happening again.

Pray for the students at VT that lost their lives and for those who they left behind.

I love these silly little quizzes that try to guess what kind of person I am. I especially love it when they're right, or just completely ridiculous.


Wow! They got my eye color right!

This is pretty much me to a T:

You Have Your Sarcastic Moments

While you're not sarcastic at all times, you definitely have a cynical edge. In your opinion, not all people are annoying. Some are dead! And although you do have your genuine moments, you can't help getting your zingers in. Some people might be a little hurt by your sarcasm, but it's more likely they think you're hilarious.

Being a Scorpio this makes sense...

You are 100% Scorpio

I'm about as focused as a squirrel with a caffeine high.  I seriously need to get my life together and write that last chapter of 'Remembering You.'  Two days ago I realized that it has been five months since my last chapter update... that's a bit ridiculous... although I think I've gone six months before.  There is so much that needs to go into this last chapter and sealing off of plot holes that it's difficult to write.  God I hope I can post this thing up soon... mean while I've been distracted by more drabble writing...

You know what I used to laugh in the face of?  I mean besides stupid people?  I used to laugh in the face of writer's block.  I thought it would never happen to me... little did I know that it would bite me in the ass when I'm almost done with a story.  Have you ever wanted to do everything, but found yourself doing nothing in the end?  Well that's me... except with writing.  I'm still writing the drabbles, and trying to write the one-shots but I can't seem to find the motivation.  God... I need to get my life together.

I'm under the romantic obsession of writing drabbles and one-shots.  Mostly in the RK fandom and within the canon and canon continuation that is set up by my one-shot 'To have me you earlier...'  I'm in constant need to write, and being as ADD as I sometimes am, the best way to keep me going is to go with the realm of fanfiction that is shorter (drabbles, one-shots, and possibly a song fic... *groan* you have no idea how much I dislike those too).

Here is my first one: (hehe, I figured out how to use LJ cuts)

I knew 300 was a quality film when I left the movie theatre wanting a red cape (and possibly a lance).  I, for a fact, know that I would look kick ass in it... and a lot like super girl, but that's beside the point.  300 has also given me a bit of inspiration to write a chapter for 'Quadrille of War' but don't expect that to be coming out.  The movie gave me more ideas to deal with, but I highly doubt I'll get a chapter out in the coming 6 months.

Today was also my first official day of spring break.  I took my english final yesterday and I'm hoping for an A in all my classes (isn't everyone?).  So, instead of hanging out in the state of Florida and drinking myself into oblivion along with my peers, I'm back at my parents house chillin... sigh, my plans of hitting up NYC fell through completely (stupid friends that abandon me for 'family' vacations...).  And so I will be hanging out with my parents and our cat, which I hope the seclusion from all things societal will motivate me to write in my spare time... or go shopping... because I'm a bit of a shopping whore.

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this. I am a poison and so is my writing, so remember to vomit right afterwards. ;-)

ps- I do not condone bulimia, so don't go blaming that on me...

After a good five month absence from fanfiction I have finally returned with a one-shot.  Yes, gasp.  A one-shot.  Miss 'I don't write anything besides epics,' has written a one-shot... but let's ignore the fact that it is 22 pages long, no where near what a drabble should be.  Also, I have proudly put off studying for the finals in my college courses to finish writing, editing, and posting it.  I'll hopefully figure out how to post fics on here one day, but until then, you're going to have to go to my ff.net account... but since no one is probably looking at this I'll shut up now...

Another day and another post on LJ where I still haven't the slightest clue on how things work.  I've obviously figure out how to post something, and I've also figured out uploading icons I've made.  Beyond those two things, I'm pretty much lost.  Also, I'm not entirely sure why I'm posting when I KNOW no one is reading this... oh to be alone in the world.

ps (aka 'note to self' at the moment)- I'm almost done with a RK one-shot...

For some reason I thought it would be a brilliant idea to start a live journal account... which is highly impractical for someone who barely has the time to breathe let alone write on a blog... is this even considered a blog?  I'm not even sure what live journal is... Someone is going to have to walk me through this... hahaha, the funny thing is I have no friends here at the moment so I am a lonely nomad of the world wide web (or just live journal).  I was hoping to make the first entry memorable and witty, but it's 6:20am and I haven't gone to sleep for the night yet... so... wit and wisdom will have to be shelved for another day.
