I can't write with my digits, and other storys

By -


I think my writing style might be slightly flawed.

There was once a terrible writer who could not write with his digits. There! I said it. I don't like the restrictiveness of paper, and I believe more in the use of the modern computer where I can never run out of paper, and I can slide my fingers across my mechanical keyboard. Aww yiss. Mostly, what's helped me the most is the fact that I've been able to take Mrs. Frampton's advice, and I layered out my basic story ideas on 3x5 cards. I figured out about 80% of my story now, so hopefully I can start writing like a normal human being now.

 What I should do is be more like Lara Croft. Man, is she cool. The lady had more manliness in her little finger than I do in my whole body. I played for hours, absorbing the world and adventure. One thing that struck me was how much everything was trying to kill her. That, and one saying that she had that made her go from small, defenseless, and alone, to kick butt, kill everything awesome.


Anytime she did anything, she would utter the phrase "I can do this." I have decided to take this on as my own personal writing mantra as I try to adventure through the slums that is my writing.
Let's do this.

LEEEEEEERROOOOOOOOY AAAAAJEEEEEEEENKEEEEEEEEINNNNNSSSSSSSSSAAAAAH

Some people might be thinking that they won't be able to do this novel writing month. Some people might even think that their work is not worth it. They might think that it's just bad and they couldn't possibly make it to their goal. Some people think they can get away with robbing the world of the precious creativity that it needs to thrive. Those people are victims of the writing devil. Don't listen to him, he doesn't want your creativity to be fed to the world. Oh, so that's why there's no life on the moon. The earth eats it all! Even if you don't have those thoughts yet, you will soon. It's just how it works, life, I mean. If you listen to the writing devil, you will get a case of writers block so bad this will happen: Not even a single cloud of thought. It's depressing. By the way, downloading google docs to my phone is one of the best decisions (writing wise) I have ever made. I can write on the way to and from school. I'M MO...

GET THE BALL ROLLING

Today I sat down with incredible intent to write The Next Great American Novel (ha!) and sort of chose a favorite scene at random to begin. I've been plugging away for a couple hours now, and it's not at all as painful as I thought it might be before. This thoroughly reinforces my belief in Newton's First Law of Motion, which states, "an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." I would have remained at rest and never written a single word had I not been forced to. The key is just to start. And this concept doesn't apply just to the very beginning of a big project, but each and every day. Most days I'm at rest on Pinterest or on Youtube, and the unbalanced force that gets me into motion is the external motivation of my grade. Not always, but most days. Here's my favorite passage written so far. Enjoy! ----------------------- ...
