Incorporating Emotion

If you've ever read my writing, mostly short stories-then you know it's stark. Not dreary, but to the point. Deliberate. Serious. I use humor(I hope you can recognize my humor), but it's deliberate. Like when my post about popularity changed to shoes and Star Wars. Some people writing humor and parodies come easily. They can easily make funny and likable characters. 
Not me. Mine are dry, clipped and whiningly-sarcastic who would probably shoot me with a cannon the moment they met me. Or shoot me out of a cannon.....
Or at least the first time I write them. Then I have to go back and give them actual personalities.  Gah.
My writing model is LOTF. Dry, clipped, sad,  at the same time hilarious, and romance-less.  Lets see if I can pull it off. 20k and the war hasn't even started yet.

PS. There have been 3 "Awesome People" added to my sidebar. in ONE DAY!!!!! That's like Christmas, my birthday, Halloween, Easter, Presidents Day, and um, Cinco de Mayo all rolled into one! Unfortunately, I write about writing, Star Wars, and travelings, and I rarely find people who like all three. And I have to please you, or else, you know, you'll unfollow me. And that's very unfun.
I should probably start three different blogs that actually stay on subject matter. But nah. That's not cool.
You will read what I write. About anything. And you will like it.

  1. I agree with the writing personality. I'm kind of the same way. My writing is short, to the point, has a dry sort of humor to it, and romance-less. I'd like to add romance into it, but I'm just so bad at writing it. xD And I'm also bad at descriptions and long conversations, which are things that I always have to bookmark and come back to later.

    PS: I think I am one of these awesome people. ^-^

three amazing--and relatively little known--psalms

So I'm reading Psalms in the Bible right now. Well, Psalms is one of the three places I read from. I'm reading the Bible all the way through and read two chapters from three places--the Old Testament, the middle of the Old Testament, and the New Testament--every day. I'm in Deuteronomy and Romans in the other sections, but in the middle I'm still right where I started from-Psalms. Cause Psalms is really really long. I was getting kind of tired of Psalms(which isn't really the right attitude to be reading the Bible in). But I realized there are some really breathtaking passages in Psalms, and I'm glad I read them. These are my three favorites: *Buck Forester on Flikr Psalm 65 This one is about God's spectacular creation. What mighty praise, O God,      belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2       for you answer our prayers.      All of us must come to you. 3  Though we are overwhel...

Howl's Moving Castle book analysis

“I feel ill. I'm going to bed, where I may die.” ― Howl, upon having a cold. I've decided to call them "book analysis" because they're not really reviews that tell you how much I liked the book, rather,  me taking the book apart and looking at different aspects of it for my own entertainment. Read on. Also, read Howl's Moving Castle. This is the original cover of Howl's Moving Castle and I have got to say it is the UGLIEST thing I have ever seen. I like the new one much better. Ahem. First of all, I should point out that Howl's Moving Castle is a children's book. However, I like to hold all books I read to the same standard, after all, they're written by adults. I had biased expectations of Howl's Moving Castle from the start, because I kept hearing from several sources how amazing, how fantastic, how hilarious and how romantic the book was, and hearing the perfectly gorgeous soundtrack by Joe Hizazi(somethin...

Her Universe

  Before I start, let me just say this. I appreciate what Ashley Eckstein is doing. It's obvious she really cares about and is enthusiastic about her line, and she's using her position to make our days(and wardrobes, apparently) a little more cheerful. However, I don't think Her Universe is the huge movement she expects it to be. The website   talks about how female SW fans have a hard time finding merchandise designed "just for us" and the trials of having to wear either "very girly stuff" or "men's stuff in small sizes."   This post from Club Jade clearly favors and is enthusiastic of Her Universe. Vivenne's comment,(the 6th) says everything more eloquently than I ever could. "However, it’s NOT our turn. We’re NOT getting what they’ve got. I STILL don’t wear Star Wars franchise stuff because there is no way I can afford Her Universe. $30 for a TEE SHIRT? No. No no no. I’ll keep buying the $9.99 shirts for g...
