Teens Writing for Teens, the 5th

i just cant figure it out... Ok so i continued to read The Shinning... did anyone else read it? Ok so when i started off writing... I read books on "how to write" and there were always rules like "show not tell and keep it interesting in the first three chapters, and dont keep the reader guessing with confusing vague comments" Now i know steven king is a very famous writer and everything but he seems to be breaking all of these rules in this book... So i have to wonder if the shining was such a big huge hit are these rules crap? Is the book just an exception? God its all just driving me insane.

...I think I'm the first to poke the new dead thread. But now that Chocolat is over, I'm going to bed. G'night!

Oh damn! You come to poke then leave!

*plants butt in thread*

Today, I'm going to write.

Promise.

That's the spirit!

I'm writing all day too!

Hi, guys.

This is my first post on the shiny new thread.

No you have had others! Right now i'm the top poster!!! YAY hehehehe

I WILL beat you, Ally!

ETA: http://www.youtube.com/w needatch?v=E46BhMIRujI&feature=player_detailpage I shouldn't really be watching this seeing as I need to catch up, but I LOVE THIS SONG. OMG

Annnnd hours later, I haven't written a word.

Also, I didn't notice this was a new thread.

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!! Ok so let me explain why i'm freaking out right now!!!

When i was like 5-7 my friend always used to rent this movie and we used to watch it over and over again... but i could never remember the name of it. for 13 years i've looked to figure out the name of that movie, and i'm no longer in contact with my friend... so i thought i would never find it. All i knew was that it had to do with little woodland creatures and some kind of disaster and they had to find a cure...

So about an hour ago i'm wondering about the movie again... i dont think about it all the time but it just popped up in my head when someone was talking about Ferngully (another childhood fav) so i started doing research and... I FOUND IT!!! I FOUND IT!!! AND I WATCHED IT!!! I FOUND IT!!! I'll be 21 in a week but for whatever reason finding this movie was like the happiest moment ever!!!

I know the feeling, Ally, haha/

Once Upon a Forest!!! Lets hope i never forget that title again!

Write it down!!!

but then i would lose the paper probably... i'm texting it to Will so he can download it for me!

On other news... I'm writing... when i should be sleeping.

Writing is more fun.

So true. Although I'm writing about a funeral... that's not too fun. The sad things i do to my characters when i write myself into a corner and need to get out of it.

I'm going to go now. I shall be on later.

oh damn! no one to talk to now.

Nope. Still present. And procrastinating. xD

I was thinking about procrastinating more but i put it aside and am writing.

On the upside, I managed to figure out more of how the world works? No substitute for actual writing, of course, but hey. It's a start, right? Lol

that's pretty valuable info I'd say!

Ooh, shiny new thread.

Yeah, I did just drop in to post in the new thread. Running back to my Spanish work, now.

Oh boo! Everyone keeps running away!
