Okay. Time for a redo as well as a summary of all the new things I've discovered in life that keeps me away from writing. I feel that I'm not sophisticated enough to write something good. I have zero love experience, so anything I write will be completely idealized, which is okay in some ways, but I love the real world! My level at actual QUALITY writing is, well, shit. The last English class that actually taught me anything about writing and challenged me in GOOD ways was about two years ago when I was a sophomore, meaning that I've been completely out of practice. I want to keep writing, but all my thoughts are completely killing my brain.

~Quotes~

"Do the gods of different nations talk to each other? Do the gods of Chinese cities speak to the ancestors of the Japanese? To the lords of Xibalba? To Allah? Yahweh? Vishnu? Is there some annual get-together where they compare each other's worshippers? Mine will bow their faces to the floor and trace woodgrain lines for me, says one. Mine will sacrifice animals, says another. Mine will kill anyone who insults me, says a third. Here is the question I think of most often: Are there any who can honestly boast, My worshippers obey my good laws, and treat each other kindly, and live simple generous lives?"

-from Children of the Mind by Orson Scott Card

~Updates So Readers Know I'm Still Alive~

November 2nd, 2010-

Crystal Droplets. I swear I have not left everyone hanging, but as you've probably found out, this story has seriously lost appeal. Maybe it has something to do with growing up, experiencing more, reading at higher levels of sophistication...but suddenly, I'm certain, my writing doesn't seem so great. Sorry. I'm having major writer's block (again), and maybe it's just the fact that Syaoran and Sakura's relationship is truly starting that I begin having difficulty (oh god, it's just like me in real life; what's wrong with me?). Bide me some more time, please! I am actually very busy. I can't believe it, my first year of college is almost done!

Fan. Yes, I have decided to start another fic. I absolutely didn't want to do this, but my muse for CD doesn't seem to be returning, and I feel the little writing skills I have are festering because I'm not using them. Sorry everyone, but I'd appreciate it if you gave this fic a chance. Once again, two updates in a week? Wow, is that possible? Haha. Anyways...I apologize if this chapter was a little predictable. I didn't realize since it seemed to me that it'd be less predictable if Syaoran saw Sakura and didn't note anything out of the ordinary. Though the clubbing part was a little cliche...I will update one day...I will. I am in the process of learning about love, and that is more appealing to me than writing about an ideal love story. I'm not saying this "ideal" love doesn't have conflicts, but I feel ashamed to be saying that I know what will happen in these circumstances. Also, I am finally working on chapter 3 (I'm so bad...) and I'm thinking I might need to up the rating to R or something. O_o

I am just being really awful right now and not updating. I swear it's not on purpose, but I just seem to have so little free time now.

Oh yes, please leave a review! I love hearing from you guys :)

~Shrine to My Work~

Sorry everyone for the lack of updates. I've been really busy at Penn. Holy crap, the level of learning is freaking amazing in college. And I feel like I never have time for ANYTHING. I mean, admittedly, I don't do homework 24/7, but it's just like I need to learn some semblance of time management. Time for homework, sleep, work, friends, boyfriend, partying...etc. Plus midterms were last week and this week, so I'm still a little bit...in chaos.

~Fic Ideas~

Note: If I don't lose inspiration, fic ideas may or may not be turned into an actual story. New stories will only be posted when Crystal Dropplets is complete or near complete. I've always wanted to write a fic outside of the whole 'High School' scenario. I don't know if I CAN, but I'd like to try it. This just basically...gives a really short overview because I don't want people stealing ideas and stuff. Also, I'm considering starting a Rurouni Kenshin fic, even that would be extremely hypocritical of me since I hate it when author's do that, but I'm kind of burning out on Crystal Droplets and I'd really like a muse box. Don't think that the fic will be a great piece of writing though. There may be no development whatsoever...

Fan

How did I manage to fall in love with him? I look up pictures of him everyday on the net, surfing for any news or interviews concerning him. I'm practically a stalker. And I bet he's a real jerk too, just like in fanfiction I read, where the celebrity turns out to be a total ass...and yet, every time I see that adorable smile, I melt. I have to meet him. Maybe seeing his real person will help me get rid of these feelings for a perfect stranger.

I think I used to live more in fantasies of the possibilities of my future; but I find myself becoming more and more content, which may be why I don't feel the need to write as much. I've really started living my life, and I guess these are newer ways to follow the work I'm doing--it's a lot more personal, but hopefully some of you will find it fun to read :)
