Something Personal.

The words I speak no longer have a meaning. Its happening again.
It feels like I've been spinning uncontrollably, going faster until I jump off the ride because its making me sick.
The feeling where at first its intoxicating, beautiful, liberating. And then gravity kicks in.
The forceful pull that once left you feeling complete now leaves me empty and with a feeling that makes me noxious. 
What do I do now?

Before I Kick The Bucket

My bucket list. Anyone’s bucket list, it’s an extension of who you are in a sense your last wishes and desires put out there in hopes you’ll be able to achieve them before, grimly your time is up. Anyone’s bucket list is a personal representation of one’s self and I created mine around the idea to inspire. To be something so possible yet so almost un-reachable. The things I want to do are not impossible but motivational in a sense I wouldn’t be able to walk out of my backyard to check most of them of my list, but also they don’t require sneaking onto red carpets to shack hands with celebrities every week. I’m not really sure I stuck to one idea throughout producing my bucket list I have thing that go from travel to Thailand, to spending a whole day in bed. If I was though, to pick one main thought out of most of the things I would like to do before I die, is a sense of helping others, and yes something’s on my bucket list I want to do by myself but I also feel a certain need for companionship that pops up as a reoccurring theme. To display just a fraction of the simpler things I want to do before I kick the bucket, I made and Animoto video! I thought doing this was fun and also really encouraging. It gave me a sense of, “Hey ya I can do that some day!”. So hats off to you Mrs. McLauchlan and thank you for hooking me up with this fantastic site! All in all I think everyone learnt a lot about themselves, and what’s out there after high school which I think is an amazing way to end this semester. It not only put the cool down on what I have to do next in life, but it also showed me that anything is possible as long as you have a little creativity and bravery.

Weekely Writing Response #8

News Paper Black Out Reflection

I really did enjoy this project, by this time it was a while ago we finished our newspaper blackouts but I can tell you I still feel connected to mine. When writing my poems at first I couldn’t really see much in them but of course all revels itself in time. I wanted my poems to be more than the easy reads, picking out words the grammatically fit together but have no meaning behind them. So I looked and picked out what was highlighted and easy for me to read. Now I do agree some of my poems wouldn’t make sense to just anyone looking and reading them but I had a connection and meaning behind every word I picked out. This of course was one of the difficulties. Making something new out of something old is of course never an easy feat, but I do think it’s also an advantage on a level because it causes for creativity, and after all this is a creative writing class. I found given time almost any student could successfully finish this project, obviously some on other levels then others but it was a fun way for everyone to make their mind work and see the possibilities in writing. As for myself I learnt in this project I like to be out of the norm. I prefer confusing put together of words that for me have a sense of urgency behind them. My thought behind poetry is that it should make you think, and at first glance you should understand words but I feel a true poet has a sense of mystery that takes the second glance to look deeper into the meaning of what is written.

After all isn’t that what poetry is, writing with deeper meaning

Book: MockingJay
Author: Suzanne Collins
Percent Read: 1% to 66%

So It begins. Over my winter break I was able to knock of the first two books in this wonderful trilogy, The Hunger Games, and Catching Fire. MockingJay is the third and final story that ends Katness Everdeen’s adventure in her escapades against the “Capitol”. This young woman at 17 is thrown into a battle for her life when her name is called for this first time is the seventy-fourth hunger games in the first novel, but as the books continue her story becomes more then her own need to survive. Katness is now responsible for not just her own life and the well being of her district, but also for the safety and protection of the remaining 11 districts. At the beginning of the novel you’re already hungry to know more. When she first wakes up dazed and confused in a hospital bed I right away predicted she would be on her way to Districts 13. In the previous novels it is clear that this destination was “No longer existent” but this is why my thoughts expand and come to the prediction that the story of Katness Everdeen is so much more than the typical. As I read on I find out her home in district 12 has been bombed and destroyed and she is heading to a rebellion camp in none other than the supposedly un inhabited district 13.  This sets of a huge turn in events since now these novels are much more than a bloody battle… It is a political warfare… This makes me come to the huge conclusion that the rebels hidden in District 13 will concur over the capital, but at what cost?

Weekly Reading Reflection #7

Book: Go Ask Alice
Author:Beatrice Sparks

Pages Read: 1 to 192 

I left the house of the scorpion and moved on to bigger better things. The idea of people being grown in the womb of cows and bread to harvest opium was interesting at first but my mind was to unfocused to keep up with this novel, so on to the next one.
I managed to knock of the whole novel Go Ask Alice in a matter of days without forced reading, this meaning it was a very easy read. So unfortunately I'm unable to give you any predictions because... well I'm finished the book. So I'll have to give you a summary and thoughts review. I realized in this book, which was about a teenage girl I'm interested in self conflict books. Not because I have any specific connection to the adolescent drug addicted girl featured in this novel but because going through the ups and downs of a character really makes me want to read more. I didn't mind this book all though it was not one of the most interesting things I've ever picked up and read but it did keep my mind entertained for a few day until I had time to pick up a more serious novel. The Hunger Games.... I'll get to that in another post. I will say though that this book had a lot of unpredicted turns and I didnt find my self asking a lot of questions but I was curious as to what kind of trouble the main character was going to run into next and after all a book that leaves you wanting more is a book well written.

Stepping Into Digital Wonderland

Creative writing, when I first walked into Mrs.McLauchlan's class this semester I wouldn't have thought we'd be using technology to the extent that we have exploded as the semester has passed. As we moved our way through blogs, newspapers, watching, reading, and writing, by far my favorite digital project was when we expanded into Twitter. When I first heard we'd be using twitter I was surprised and thrilled, as a heavy user of Twitter on my own time it was easy for me to use this form of technology. Unlike my blog and etc.; I adapted quickly and with ease to our twitter assignments.

As we learnt about new forms of writing and getting ourselves out there positively on the internet, it really opened my eyes and surprised me to how big the internet really is. Now of course I understood the depth of how big the connection to the World Wide Web is around our globe but, before this class I never really thought as my digital foot print being so global. This was one of the many helpful realizations I have picked up in this course; Safety when using the Web.

 Although this was a fun semester that rarely had any backfires or sudden collapses of the system, one thing would have made the class, myself, and my teachers job relatively more easy... this would be Wi-Fi. We managed without it, but I don’t think I could stress enough how much easier it could have been if we had access and cooperation with the schools Wi-Fi. Never the less my digital exploration in this class  has been an adventure that has challenged me in a positive creative way.

Something personal

Find a away to be creative everyday, something that helps you grow and inspires you to think endlessly. Think... nothing is impossible. 

A Short Romance

It rips my soul apart to know he looked upon her with those eyes. Those deadly eyes. Those eyes that steal with hello, and kill with goodbye.

Something Personal

Always protect your identity at all costs. It's one of the few things life will give you for free. Respect this gift.

Something Personal

Just a reminder that you never know what you'll find in life. Secrets will always exist. Knowing of all will never be achievable. This is life.

Writing Reflection #10

                                                                          Twitter Fiction

Over all this project was a challenge that I feel really made my creative side open up and just think on how to pattern a short story, I had fun writing it (even thought at some times it was frustrating). It took some time to get into the groove of writing your own story but after I got rolling it was a new experience that was kind of fun. I did have a hard time on ending my story and having the typical self conflict of writing, should this character die... or live? Another frustration I had was deciding how to pack all this detail into small fragments of writing, eventually you get a hold of how to organize your thoughts in a way that works but it does take lots of time to get there.

Writing this piece of work made me realize I really connect to the books I'm reading at the time. For example I was reading a book called "Go Ask Alice" and this book happens to be about a girl that is exposed to some serious drug that take her into some life changing experiences. My Twitter Fiction just happens to be about a girl struggling with her addiction after rehab, see the connections? I don’t really have a problem with social networks such as Twitter and such, so when it came time to publish some material it wasn’t a big deal for me. as long as I'm proud about my writing I have no problem sharing my thoughts and stories.

I read a lot of other class mates tweets I didn't unfortunately spend a lot of time exploring out the deeper writers of Twitter Fiction, I was already a Twitter user so spending all this time surfing Twitter has been fun and I do feel like it's a creative way of writing. How big Twitter Fiction got on the web really surprised me, but I guess this was because I hadn’t heard of it before this assignment.

Like I mentioned earlier I am a Twitter user on a regular bases so I didn’t really have a huge perspective change on Twitter since I already acknowledged that Twitter is a very interesting way of writing and people really do use it as a personal diary and writing platform.

I would agree if you were responsible enough to keep your Twitter under control, just as our blog it can be used as a way of putting your work out there productively, such as work or school resumes. Twitter is a huge process that can propel us further and further into creative writing.

The character IPhone I chose to do is not really a main character in my book. This person is my main characters body guard though, and his name is Tam-Lin. Every app on the phone has a important role to play in his daily life in being a body guard. such apps as, "Ifit" bodyguard addiction, or oasis finder are just some examples, check out the picture above to see more.

 The back of my characters IPhone isn’t Tam-Lin anymore it is now Maria. She is a care free kid that just enjoys the pretty things in life. I tried to convey that in my drawing.

Writing Reflection #9

Twitter Fiction

 

 

Twitter Fiction, it's not as easy as it sounds. I have all the 30 tweets that I need but, one of my shorter stories is not done yet, so I'm close to completion. It's kind of morbid but I decided to write stories about self-destruction. I have two main stories, both are about drugs and teenagers, I have no real life connection to the stories though (don't worry). They're both not long but they are stories that have expanded past the "Very Short Stories" stage and never really reached the story length of Russet for example. I wanted to use character development and I think that’s why I was drawn to the story length of somewhere in the middle, I also was having fun using Dialogues to help character growth.  I also plan on adding a few pictures here and there into my tweets, I feel like this will help draw the brain into the story since it will reach out to the readers that are more visual. My only worry as the closing of the project nears is that my second story won’t come together the way I hope, there`s also the lengering problem that some of my tweets might be over 140 characters, so my next challenge is if I can adapt to that and change my writing last minute. I think, other then that it should be smooth sailing from here on.

This boy

This man took everything I had to offer, he saved me

Made me feel whole in a way I had'nt.

He's perfect, but.

There's a never ending feeling, a feeling in my mind

That craves more, of what?

I couldnt tell you.

This boy

This man, gives me all I should want

Yet I want more.
