Writing and my dream life

First off, I'd like to express to you all how much I love to write! No joke... It's amazing! There's just something about it that makes me happy! I love fantasy, because I feel it gives you the most creative freedom. You don't have to research facts, or stay within the limits of this world. Most people (or maybe it's just me...) read books to escape this world! And I feel fantasy does that best. Just my personal opinion.

So, anyway, I'm writing a book called Reverie. It's my little pet. It's kind of awful right now (I mean...uh, it's great! *flick*) but I hope some day that it will become great. If you guys are interested, I have a blog called Inkblots, and it's where I share my writing advice (not that it's especially good or anything....) and update you on the going ons of my story writing. So far I've not been doing very good at updating, but I predict that changing... Hopefully. Today I wrote a post about SCSS, and I think it's pretty fantastic, if I do say so myself.

I also love just writing little bits of stories! Often times I get story plot ideas, but only when I'm not looking to start another project. (and then when I say, "Hey, I want to write a book with a really good plot line!" Guess what? No ideas... Anywho) So, I get these ideas, but don't have time to expand on them. What do I do? First, I add the idea to my nifty idea list (not to be shown to the public at this time) And then, since most of my plots come from a single scene I imagine, I write down the scene. I have loads of random, story-less chapter tidbits. So what did I do? I made Random Tidbits (of stories I'll never write). It's a pretty fantastic blog, if I do say so myself. I often find myself reading it whilst bored. Though, as you read it, remember that it's all ROUGH DRAFT. So, don't expect to go and read amazing stuff or anything like that...

Alright, now away from my blogs, (P.S. If you didn't get the hint, I'll be blunt now... GO READ MA BLOGS! [you really only need to read the 2nd one, unless you love writing like I do...]) and away from writing all together! Well, almost. So, I found myself daydreaming today while my hot water boiled for ma cocoa. And I was thinking about how awesome it would be if everything went my way. Want to hear my "never-going-to-happen-quite-like-this-but-I-hope-to-get-somewhat-close" dream life? Aight, here goes.

We'll start off when I'm 18. Somehow I have a really great job, with super fantastic hours, and great pay. I have enough money to move out! Also, I have a car. A nice one... I move into a pet accepting apartment, and bring my kitties with me. I will the promptly get a kitty loving puppy, 2 chinchillas, and maybe some African Dwarf Frogs... My roomates will be totally cool with it. I will get my bachelors in History Education, then maybe move to Williamsburg and live on that ADORABLE little house on main street! And, well, obviously I'd work there... I'd stay for a few years, maybe meet some nice guys... ;) Then I'd want to move back to my good ol' home in Utah, get my Masters, get married, move to some cute place where it snows a lot, we have a large house, live near the woods, and have room for a horsey... :) I'd spend my days writing books, and, well, obviously I'd teach History... (on a Junior High level maybe? Or possibly High School...)

There ya have it. My dream life. Honestly, I know that that's not how things are going to go down, don't worry. But it IS fun to dream sometimes! :) So, now I'll awkwardly wrap up this post with two entirely different sections that don't relate to each other at all...
