I Went To Walmart Today With My Sister For Some Last Minute Christmas Stuff. (A Terrible Mistake, Really.

I went to Walmart today with my sister for some last minute Christmas stuff. (A terrible mistake, really. It took too long to escape the parking lot). We were walking down a main aisle when a lady said that She liked my fit for the day. I thanked her and we went on our way. A few aisles later I turned to my sister and said "This is the 8th person to ever complement me in this Walmart. I'm not complaining, but it's such a niche coincidence."

You can't say for certain that magic and magical creatures didn't exist at some point in history. You also can't prove that they don't still exist in at least a minor way. While we can't prove they never existed, we also can't prove that they ever existed. Having said that, I can prove it. I can prove with confident certainty that magic and magical creatures have and do still exist.

(Welcome to my book. It's not published yet, but I Plan on publishing it before I turn 25. I'm 20 in March. Wish me luck)

Because my family (aside from my sisters) are under the illusion that I'll be getting married, I Will be buried in a wedding dress.

Thank you

I'm writing a book. When I get it published, I'm gonna write an alternate ending for the book and post it to every Fanfiction site I can think of on throw away accounts.

It's called being chaotic

I write Fan Fix. And, as an author, this helps my self esteem a lot. I'll get comments sometimes that will bring me down. I just want to add, If someone insults your FF writing, it's because they can't write themselves and are jealous of you. So, don't give them the satisfaction. Ignore that piece of crap and move to a higher level. One they won't reach

Side Note To Fan Fic Authors

Here’s the thing.

I read a lot of scripts.  A lot.  From professionals to aspiring writers to complete newbies.  Features and pilots.  Specs and treatments.

And 8 times out of 10 the fan fic that I’ve read over the last, oh, 15 years is leagues better than this stuff.  It’s more inspired.  It’s more compelling.  It’s genre bending and creative and heartfelt.  It’s well-paced and intense and funny and sexy and meaningful.  It’s smart and thoughtful and good.  It’s novel-quality.  Better than, sometimes.

Rare is the script I don’t want to put down, but how often have we stayed up until 3am to get to the last chapter of a 100k fic? And it’s not even a fan fic author’s day job.  This is what they do on the side.  In their spare time.  For free.

So my point is, fan fic authors, you’re good.  You’re good writers and great storytellers.  I know it doesn’t always feel like it, especially if you’re one of the authors who’s not a BNF and doesn’t get the notes/hits that a few do.  And  because some people still view fic as “not real writing.” You guys know the shit that gets made into movies.  You’re better than that.  So be better than that.  If writing is what you think want to do, then just know you’re already doing it.   You’ve already started.

And you’re more talented than you might think.
