First Blog

  1. Hello,
    Not sure what to do with this blog... but uh... here we go, ok and please, I have NO IDEA what a blog should really be used for, (I'm not that internetsy-ish, so I'm not used to this stuff) so if you read this and think this isn't what a blog is for please tell me... I'm good at being random so let's see where this takes me. Lately I've been writing quite a bit of stories... ok note I start them and try to come back to them but normally I think of something different that makes my attention get led onto the next story... sometimes thats for the best, because then I can combine all the stories to make on really amazing one. :) I have a question though, is it weird that I feel what I'm writing? Or does that just make me a very deep writer? Like if my main character is sad, I begin to feel sad too as I write... maybe I'm just over-emotional. Yeah I bet that's it, because even still I'm not that great of a writer.
    By the way, my name is Olivia, most call me Livvie though so thats fine too, I'm actually still in school, so my grammar and spelling are still very amatur and right now I'm focusing on perfecting my writing skills so I can be a great writer. I like when people pick at my work, so if I put something up here, comment on something I could work on or something. I know my writing won't be great, but knowing what I can do to make it better always helps me. Thanks a lot. :)

    Yay! First blog!:)

    Maybe not, maybe you have really good characters. If they make you feel emotional that's probably a good thing, the trend in writing these days is for strong characters over strong ideas or themes.

    I'd be curious to see what Sigmund Freud has to say about writing. Uh, maybe you put a lot of yourself into your characters, I know I do. And if I get really caught up in a story I'm reading written by say, Philip K Dick, I can become sad.

    Welcome to the site and good luck with your writing, continue fighting the good fight.:)

    Thank you very much. :) That helps me to know that it is most likely a good thing, and I do put a lot of myself in my characters, normally I base it in one character, but I tend to see a lot of myself in them. Thank you again.

    "I have a question though, is it weird that I feel what I'm writing?"

    I would be more worried if you didn't feel something; it's been said that if you love your story, chances are there are readers out there who will too. Anyway, even if you are over-emotional, writers are an emotional bunch--you'll fit right in. :-D

    AHA! Yay! then this is perfect for me. I always write when I feel a lot in a certain emotion, and it normally reflects in my writing, like if i'm writing a happy part in a book when I'm sad, it suddenly turns sad even though it doesn't seem to fit the story right. Which is why I sometimes struggle with books when i'm feeling the opposite emotion that the characters should feel.
    But anyways thank you :)
