How to write:

No offense to anyone... Except maybe the owl in the garage, listen, I don't care what you have written, Hedwig, I will not publish that book.


First, think of the characters, maybe have dark secrets, wierd facts, an odd saying... Etc. Make sure that at least you know who these characters are and what they're doing, an example:

Moriko Kyami, 17,
A Perky Green-haired girl who loves nature. She is studying gardening and has dyed her hair green to show her support for nature. She is spontanious and often abandons her friends for a just cause. Secretly, she is lonely as she lives in a treehouse alone in the nearby forest, but she doesn't tell anyone this. She loves animals and occasionally dresses up like one for laughs. Her catchphrase is "A planty time." Which she uses in reference to a good time


I like Japan, and that is the basis for this character. Names can easily be found online.


Ohh... And do a biography for every one of the main characters until you have a story forming. 2-4 protagonists are good with an equal amount of antagonists. Minor characters are exempt from this.


Second, story.


We need a plot. before we can start. Think of around 3 short stories before starting to write and write up a lot of drafts. I've been working on a plot for over 3 years... I have a folder full of trivia... I'm designing an entire world including a religion. Please think of a story.


Third, the styling, please use adjective and catchy sentences so that we can grow attached to the writing, use a wide range of adjectives so that you can really have a planty time. And finally, the most important thing:


FORMAT!


I don't mind if something rubbish as long as it's readable. If you have three paragraphs per story, blocks of dialogue on the same line as other bits of dialogue and random bolding of text... I will not read it. It sucks. I cannot read it as you are probably rushing your ideas without explaing them and also: PARAGRAPHING AND CAPITALISING CREATES EMPATHSIS! By creating this empathsis, you can draw a reader to read a long story at any point.


That's all... I'm going to write up a fantasy college story soon.

Some random facts

Welcome back to the unread blog of me, the crazy pyschopath who is just down the road from you... Seriously, I'm right outside your house and I'm staring at you.

Well, I have posted a facebook status about not posting my new-years revolution on facebook... I know this this is not read as much, however, and so will contain my revolution.

Firstly, I have a laptop. It has a lot of memory, two memory sticks and uses Windows 7 Professional as an operating system with Microsoft Office 2010 as its programming (Internet is Firefow... The only use of explorer is to download Firefox.) I am not using it currently as it is upstairs. Feel free to steal it, it's only slightly my highest value item.

Secondly, I have not capitalised facebook on purpose, a hwhile (Family guy reference) ago I noticed that the logo of facebook has a lower-case 'f' to help promote friendliness.

Third off the bat is my revolution: "In 2010, I will experience love from another. That is my promise to myself." Quoted from my first words of the year. For the past three I said "I love Vicky Sharpe" as my first and last words of the year. I don't anymore and do not currently love anyone. (Other than any on the list of people below)

Finally, I must say that I hate my 8 year old sister. She is an attention craving bitch who I cannot find a single good point about. I spent two weeks away from her (But still with my 12 year old brother) and I loved it. Here are some stuff I hate about her:
She lies to get what she wants,
She always gets what she wants,
She does whatever she wants,
She cries and screams when she doewn't get what she wants,
She is really needy,
Her name is not spelt right... Amy should be spelt as such and not as Aimee,
Matt, my brother, always listens to her,
She tries to act older than she is,
She's constantly talking,
Her voice is dreadful,
She's my sister... Anyone with a sister raise their glass of energy drink to this,
I had to make a list.

But on another note, there is a list of people I love:
L... I spent ages trying to think of a first person so that no-one would get mad...
Matt, My brother... Sorry, Bother,
Mum... Self-explanatory,
Grandad, Same as above,
Nanny, Same as above, on my dad's side,
Dad, He was needed in my birth,
Awesome Dawson, My aunt,
Adam Dawson, Cousin,
Sophie Dawson, Younger sister of Adam,
My half relatives excluding Aimee,
My best friend Edward Blow, Nicknamed my mum and I his mum... We are gamers who banter a lot,
All the Blows who class their home as [Their house (Surcurity(I cannot spell it))],
Jacob, The brother of my best friend who lives in a caravan outside the house... I gave him a russian periodic table once... A2 sized... This is called Randomosity Central,
Lightning Farron, Oerba Dia Vanille and Hope Estheim from FFXIII... I love Japan,
Japan,
You know, I'd have to say Moosh... He taught me how to draw Manga,
On the subject of people I haven't met: Matt Tuck, Saul Hudson, Matt Bellamy (That's the good way to spell Amy) and any other musicians,
Your mum,
And finally:
My Cat, Speedy and all other cats in the world... Especially cat-girls.

Well, that is all so long and good freaking night everybody.
