Bah! How did you get in here? Right... I can only suppose that you are some sort of Half-blood, wizard/witch, Naiad, magician, magic user in general, faithful fan, curious fellow writer, etc. Elsewise you wouldn't have been able to access this. Now, the important stuff.
Haha! I'm so glad that I finally got around to this. What a thrill it is to write. Of any medium. Now I've begun in public media! Brilliant! (Ahem, if anyone even bothers to read it. But nevermind we'll see where that goes.)
You must know that I'm mainly doing this for a Creative Writing class (at the moment) and am very behind, technically. The reason being I got really hung up on titles and refused to allow myself to regret it. In a way, the titles are the most important part of the story! Now I suppose you'll try to foist off the "You can't judge a book by its cover" quote. Baloney. That is what first captures the readers attention, it's rare when you pick up a ridiculous looking book and end up falling in love with it. Don't even attempt to persuade me otherwise.
By the way, you should look up what Ghostwriter means, it's cool. I find that it's a very fitting pseudonym for myself.
Oh tangents... Will I ever escape my curse? Alright, this is for a class (though it won't always be..) etc, etc. Behind on posts, blah blah, and this is my attempt at repentance, yada yada, me llama lama ding dong. (For all you Despicable Me 2 fans and spanish enthusists. Yay!) Onward to posting!!!
The World I Live
I'm constantly floating around through a seemingly void space. Though I know someone or something is out there, and they've got a story to show me. It's a vast mixture of everything, the Universe. I can often sense and make sense of others emotions. Empathy. Though I rarely apply sense to my own life. I've proclaimed myself insane and a natural spaz. And I'm proud of it thank you very much.
On occasion I wish that I could take everyone's story and give it a happy ending. I know not everyone likes happy endings but hear (read) me out. If someone doesn't like it they'll become the antagonist, so we will fight triumph over the little wretches. It would make the world so much simpler. You wouldn't have to spend a lifetime questing for a happily ever after. Then again, personally I think the best endings are beginnings. Contradictory, I know, but it's true. We like having a note that says that there is more to the story that hasn't been written yet or is to be left to your imagination. I like to recognize that every world is different. So I try to change my writing to fit the style. I say 'my writing' but that isn't strictly true. I can show people my writing and they'll tell me, "Wow this is really good! How in the world did you come up with this?" I've always felt a small pang of guilt, now I confess. I don't. The character in the story did. After all the experienced it not me. See, I act more as an Oracle under the title of an Author. Author = Oracle. (That is all the more math I will ever do I guarantee you. Because then we'll all be falling asleep then wake up with concussions.)
My writing comes about through a question or a what if... I'll ponder that for quite some time until "ping!" (There isn't always an audible sound but most of the time....) A little voice will come whisper to me a piece of their own life. The voice of the character feeds me enough of their story to urge me forward to think about it and write it down. After pondering for so long I may have finally earned the right to tell their story. I'll mentally form a question and they'll quietly whisper, "Yes that's it!" Then I work feverishly to put it down in case the voice in my head vanishes or chooses another host. Granted the stories never come all at once. Only small bits, as if I have to prove myself and earn the right to tell their secrets. After laboring to form the correct dialect they spoon me more and I gladly savor every bit. It takes a while even to get any information about the character themselves. It's a long process buried by what can only be described as "writers block" when the voice chooses to be silent. It's a beautiful thing and as far as I know one of my sole/soul purposes. If you looked it up my pseudonym "Ghostwriter" makes perfect sense. This my friend is the world I live.
