Reminiscing and old projects.

Hello my lovely and loyal readers. Who, for all I know, don't exist. But that won't stop me from blogging!

So Friday is the last day to submit a piece of writing for this year's first annual Literary Journal. AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO PUT. Looking back on all my past stories, I realize they're either too long, or they suck.

I want to write something that means something to someone. But how am I supposed to do that? Especially now that I'm so busy -- how am I supposed to find time to write something profound and amazing?

I'd use what I read at open mic night -- but those weren't my words. I read it that day because I wanted people to hear them, but I promised myself I would submit my own work for the journal.

I'm thinking of one story in particular. I think it's okay, but it's just -- not as thought-provoking as I want it to be.

But everything else that is thought-provoking is cynical and pretty much attacks the rest of the people in school [most of whom I strongly dislike]. lmao.

Rawr. Well, I just dug through some of my old stuff from the past few years, and ohmygod, I found a hell of a lot of stuff. Like this one World History project I did for Mr. Knox's class that I totally don't even remember doing. BUT I can tell that my mom did it for me, because there are some really pretty pictures that I could NOT have drawn in any way in hell. xD

AND I found a Romeo and Juliet project thing I did for Lyons Freshman year. Jeez, I had way too much time on my hands, because I had colored each individual box on the table a different color. o_O

Anyway, enough reminiscing. What I was really looking for were a couple of writing samples I had displayed on my binders a few years ago. I haven't finished reading them all the way through, but I think I might find something I like here.

AND five minutes later. lmao. I just read something that I had written in 8th grade. And DAMN it's freaking good!

I've got to edit some parts here and there, but I think I've just found my gold. It's provocative, thought-provoking, deep, and truthful, without insulting too many people. haha. It's something everyone can relate to.

It's something I definitely want to use.

SO, off to do some editing! ^_^

Tomorrow shall be a rather boring day. Woo. Looking forward to it. Can you feel my sarcasm?

Well, I've got English first thing, so that should bring a smile to my face early in the day. =]

Mkay, now I'm really going. Love you all<3

Always and forever,
