About Me

Mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, and even oceans. All so beautiful. I could lay in the grass, warmed by the sun, for hours and not be bothered by the pass of time. Other days, I could walk for miles in the meadows and forests of the world, kayaking through the rapids, or biking over the crests of hills.

I wrestle with words and toss them onto paper, molding them into a finely tuned story. Notes and harmonies are sprinkled into the mix for special effects.

I am an anomaly.

Taken from If You Want to Write by Brenda Ueland (used only the first (and sometimes second) lines of each point to simplify list):

Quote

If you want to write:
1. Know that you have talent, are original and have something important to say.
2. Know that it is good to work. Work with love and think of liking it when you do it.
3. Write freely, recklessly, in first drafts.
4. Tackle anything you want to.
5. Don't be afraid of writing bad stories. To discover what is wrong with a story write two new ones and then go back to it.
6. Don't fret or be ashamed of what you have written in the past.
7. Try to discover your true, honest, untheoretical self.
8. Think of yourself as an incandescent power, illuminated perhaps...
9. If you are never satisfied with what you write, that is a good sign. It means your vision can see so far that it is hard to come up to it.
10. When discouraged remember what Van Gogh said: "If you hear a voice inside of you saying: you are no painter, then paint by all means, lad, and that voice will be silenced, but only by working."
11. Don't be afraid of yourself when you write.
12. Don't always be appraising yourself, wondering if you are better or worse than other writers.

    Haha apparently my avatar is a broccoli as an MRI zooms through cross sections of it. But I might change it soon since it's apparently lagging up Debaser's computer--

    Your new avatar scares me. Maybe its the red near the eye or how we can see each feather, but either way, it scares me. I liked the old one better... it was so calm and soothing and warm and fuzzy and delicious and I'll stop here XD

    I'm always glad to help out on some of the harder work! :) I'm don't catch 100%, maybe not even 60% of all the problems, but I'm usually pretty efficient :D I'm glad to meet my leader :3

    Hi there bird! :) Thanks for the message, I am just having a nosy round, making mental notes of how the sites works before I start posting some stories. I was just wondering actually, if you had a question that was more about legendfire than writing, would that still go in to writing questions?
