I'm soaked with sweat, my shirt is damp. I think I'm getting Writers Cramp - Dave Crawley

I think I'm having writers block (even if I'm not a real writer). I always imagined writers block to be something like a haze in your brain which didn't let you think at all- maybe that's what it is,

         but for me writers block is period of time, when I think A LOT and I have TONS of ideas but the moment I come to the now faar to familiar webpage which is my blog and start writing, the words stop flowing, like they'd rather stay in my head then leave.

My conclusion is that my head is such an interesting place, my thoughts would rather stay there and go sightseeing than get forced onto a piece of paper or in this case a hypertext-ed document on the World Wide Web (I found a fancy way to say 'webpage'. Haha I could become a writer after all :)   

            Here I am, not really a writer, (just a person who writes because she likes to) and complaining about writers block. I really can't imagine how it would be for a REAL writer, here's to all my favorite writers-because they're positively inspirational!



  1. Frank Delaney:
    This isn't in any particular order-but Frank Delaney was the first writer who came into my mind. He's spectacular, he's vivid and he's a storyteller. His works (I've read only two-and that too in the wrong order but I still loved them) are soo descriptive-he weaves a beautiful story set mostly in the 1950's Ireland, a place which seems to be flowing with words, the time and place are so beautiful-he really brings them back to life. He really knows how to write a story!
  2. Eva Ibbotson:
    She's always going to be my favorite author! Eva Ibbotson writes stories set in wartime Europe and she captures the peace and indifference of all those places protected from all the fighting. Whats most attractive about her writing is how she seems to still live in that time-she draws you to that time herself- the writing is perfect, there's not a trace of the 21st century...its just pure wartime Europe. Like every other good writer, you find yourself inside her books and unwilling to leave-but here's what makes her special, it feels like she's letting you steer the book. Let me explain: her writing, it isn't strong and commanding, it doesn't feel like she's writing the story and determining the fate of her characters-it feels like she's merely suggesting the next turn of events. You can almost see the bend in the path and in a way she kinda makes you feel like it was your idea all along. Its beautiful and satisfying...a lazy-summer-afternoon-read.
  3. J.K Rowling
    All hail the queen! I'm a crazy Harry Potter fan, even though I only discovered the awesomeness of the book series much after I watched the movies. I thought that the Harry Potter series was too mainstream-everyone seemed to like it- and that's why I didn't read it, but one day I did (I don't know why, I just did) and I was hooked(haha). Its a whole other world, with so much familiarity yet so many differences, I learned to love that world. (I also learned to long for a letter from Hogwarts)No wonder everyone loved it! Thats when I decided to give mainstreamed things a chance :)  
  4. Annie Dalton
    Not very famous (or maybe she is, its just that I don't know too much about her) for it but
    Annie Dalton wrote the Angels Unlimited series. She writes in the sarcastic, quirky and smart voice of a teenage girl...and I admire her writing so much. I think it was she who inspired me to start a blog (though not directly), I try to sound like her a lot (failing utterly), I love the British slang and the street smart dialogues-shes definitely my dream writer. I want to be able to develop my own style just like her.






(Is it just me or do Eva Ibbotson and Frank Delaney look alike?)
 While I was writing this I found something in common in all these writers (apart from their eerie face identical-ness, i think its just the pictures), they all have their stories set in exotic places-and they describe these places so well that it feels like I'm actually on vacation.

Eva Ibbotson- The amazon rainforest; the wartime Austro-Hungarian empire; Wartime Germany; Wartime Central Europe
Annie Dalton- Heaven! (its a city in her book :), ancient Japan, Crusades period in the middle East etc. (the book features time-travel haha)
Frank Delaney- beautiful Ireland
J.K Rowling- Hogwarts

Ok this is REAL. THIS IS DEFINITELY REAL! (Or is it?)

                                          You may be wondering why I'm freaking out (or you might ignore it all and then just leave the page, secretly asking yourself what you are doing with your time) but I'm going to freak out a little longer.. OMG! OMG! OMG! 
I don't know whether this is some sort of a gimmick or not but apparently
     NASA FOUND A MESSAGE FROM GOD ON MARS
.  (click on the link for the full story)
I know it sounds ridiculous when I say it, but I really think its true..
Whats true? here's the story:
Yesterday in one of its statements NASA stated that their rover had found two "elephant sized" stone tablets, one of them with the 10 commandments engraved on it, the other simply said "I am Real" (in English) Both tablets were signed "Peace and Love- Yahweh" *mind blown*
                              Ok I better admit that the source was COMPLETELY un-credible...that is, it was all some huge joke which someone dreamed up (a pretty good joke too...) Apparently the website I found it on was a "satirical". (This lead to my emergency googling of the word 'satirical'-it basically means sarcastic...I mean who does that? Why would you write satirical if you could just say sarcastic? Their fancy language led to my panic attack- I actually wrote the first two paragraphs of this post while still freaking out) 
                                        Of Course, I'm a Christian and I should have been all happy and rejoicing over the whole deal , but instead I freaked out completely, I thought the entire story (of Christianity) was just some fake thing that somebody pasted in our minds, this could be any time and space traveling freak! who knew? (Excuse the craziness but thats what I genuinely thought...after all I just finished my first Sci-fi series today *yay me!* to be honest, I don't even like sci-fi, I just thought that reading it would make a good experience) 
                           And thus was all because I know that God doesn't have to write "Im Real" on a giant tablet on Mars to actually be real. On the contrary, if this IS real...then something is definitely up...God isn't a faker who does everything for show...he isn't one of us humans...he's a lot more than that..
              
sometimes, you just have to believe WITHOUT having to try it out yourself :p

Well anyway, Im not actually going to talk about Atheists in this post (or in any other post for that matter) I'm just not interested in starting a cyber war
                          What I really wanted to share was the site I found the original "God Exists!" thing on... its all so real, its just like reading a real newspaper, I real this totally convincing article of an interview with Selena Gomez about her ex-boyfriends dick size! (lol i cant believe I just said that), Justin Beiber compares himself to God, and Barack Obama rates the first ladies of the world :p
Dont frget to check it out for some good laughs :) Daily Currant- Google it!
 and if you have a stupid friend (someone like me :p) then you can have some fun :p

Blog Makeover :)

I know this might be a little irrelevant..nothing to do with being a teenager in California at all but..
           
                      Ive been feeling like a little (that's me-language for really really) down, maybe even a bit depressed, The only thing that makes me feel better when Im depressed, is a major shopping spree and a complete makeover followed by a very serious bathroom selfie photo shoot with my besties :)
   
                 Considering that's no longer possible...I decided to give my blog a makeover and you know what? Ive never had so much fun on a computer before! (okay at times it got a bit annoying, I mean working with HTML is like writing broken up English all over the place..but I survived, the only that HAS gone wrong is my twitter timeline, which is at the bottom of the page and my Instagram which is right next to my twitter timeline...it was a disaster :)

                 So I'm just going to give you a guide to my new-and-improved-version of my blog :)
  • Well on the top of the page, Ive got 2 new pages! One is a simple "About Me" page and the other links to my Twitter  (i had to put that Twitter page in following the disaster of my Twitter widget, which still wont come off the bottom of my blog...if you think Im kidding you should scroll down and see for yourselves)
  • I changed the template, that's only because I thought the my old one distracted too many people, I used to get comments like "I love the background!" or "Your blog is really pretty!" I was starting to think no one actually read it..

Ok Ive got nothing else....I felt really accomplished because these 2 minor changes actually took me almost half of a lazy Saturday morning..


Also, me and my friend Misha (check out her google plus, shes an amazing blogger!)are going to do collaboration posts on her blog The Weirdo Chronicles (it even sounds fun doesn't it?) We're going to be reviewing chick flicks and actually digging them up deeper than any English teacher could ever go :p, Please check them out :)
