^.^
I felt I was long overdue to write a post... Even though I can't really think of anything to say.
Hmm...
Well, I have found a name for my story--Thank you grandma O!--. I've decided to call it 'Escape'.
Writing has become like, the top most favorite thing to do on my list! It's definitely top three, next to listening to music and boys. Sadly, I'm only half kidding about the boys. :)
I don't know, but I find myself enjoying myself immensely whenever I write. It's so exciting to see what is going to be typed next and to see where the story goes. It has surprised me so many times at the characters reactions and how they refuse to do something!
You make think I'm crazy, but that is exactly what I thought when I read Stephenie Meyer's thing on how her characters speak to her.
I know what that means now, and it is so funny at how alive they actually get. At first, I'll admit I was a little guarded and worried, but after a while I realized that humans get emotional, they aren't always rational and composed. That is when I think it got real fun for me. Because then I wasn't afraid to type out what they say and how they feel! because it was they who felt that way, not me. SO when I actually let them take over it was so exciting! It was like reading a book for the first time, even though I knew what would happen and know the ending over all, it is still amazing and always makes me smile as the story flashes through my head like a movie.
I'm wondering right now, though, if I make any sense at all.
I love how I can differentiate my characters from one another, and how they have different opinions. I think one of the reasons I'm so entranced by them is because not in a million years would I be able to feel the way they do about things, and yet understand completely why they would feel that way.
Also, it is so fun because I was always wondering how authors could put there characters in such dilemmas and then when all hope was lost... they would be saved by something completely unexpected!
But now I understand how they do it, and I love it when I know exactly how they're going to get out of their predicament, but no one else does! It's invigorating.
Seriously so cool. I love surprising people!
I let my grandma read it, --I hope you don't mind me saying, G.-- but she was wondering how I could possibly get them out of something! Then I would just reply, pointing to my head, "It's all in here.." But yes, seriously fun. And another thing, when she was reading it, I had kind of stopped at a cliff hanger moment! So that was pretty fun, too. Well, for me.
Again, this may just be me rambling about something that I can't even put into words, but this is a lot better than trying to talk it out.
It is way easier for me to communicate through the computer, not necassarily because I can think what I'm going to say, but it just comes out better and I somehow think faster...? I don't know, I'm probably embarassing myself by rambling like this, so I'll try to stop.
Well, love all and take care!
Delaynie, who thinks it's devilishly fun to withhold information on cliffhanger moments.

  1. I love that you're a writer! I'd love to read your story, too, sometime. Maybe when it's published. And it sounds like you're really become a writer, with your characters speaking to you and all! That's exciting. And blogging is a good place for you to get your thoughts out, so when you write your story your only channeling your characters. You mean what I know?

    Now I'm rambling.

    Keep it up!
