Tick Tock Tick Tock.
Sometimes I wish I could freeze time, and never age. I also wish I had the capability to sit, and formulate a novel, one that had action, fantasy, and romance tied all into one, a novel that people would get lost in, and feel involved in and laugh with the characters sarcasm.
" Like honestly, who in the hell would soup up a freaking Honda Accord?!?"
I cannot figure out how to write a good intro or lead up chapters to the good parts, I could write the good fun parts, like the action, or sarcastic, or high drama parts right now in my head, but when it comes to the typing it out, or even writing it just, comes out as blah blah blah and then blah blah blah.
I really wish I could write wonderful stories that people get lost in, the feeling that you're no longer in this world, but in a different one, maybe a fantasy land. I want the reader to feel as if the characters they read about, are real and they know them, and fell like they are interacting with them as they read.
"You are nothing more than an actor, so how am I suppose to believe you actually want to be with me?"
Sometimes I feel like if I created characters, they all would somehow explain to me how to fix my own problems as well as others. I feel a heavy heart pretty much on a daily basis, I wish I could write a character into feeling the same way sometimes, but I would never want to epitomize myself into a pathetic character, I would want to create completely new people, who remind me nothing of myself.
"Because a pair of sunglasses makes you incognito...."
I envy famous and popular authors, they release numorous novels within a few years, and all sell well, they make it so easy. Letting people into their creative minds. Letting it not flow onto canvas, but from hand to pen to paper, and repeat then repeat again. Descriptive writing, involving the reader in the novel more so.
Onto Random facts about Novels.
Currently in the world there are easily over 10 million novels in existence. Did you know that the Library of Congress is the largest library in the world? It has more than 28 million novels. Currently Agatha Christie, is the top selling authoress in the world, she is only out soldout to the Bible and Shakespeare, which is pretty amazing. One-third of high school graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives. Many do not even graduate from high school. That is horrible! Almost 42% of college graduates never read another book.
"Habent sua fata libelli," books have their destinies, said a Roman philosopher.
But in the end, we are given whatever talents we are given. Mine may never be writing.

Harry Potter....
" If I could read, I bet I'd be Harry Potter or something"
Ode to the many jokes about Harry Potter. I like the movies, but have yet to attempt the books, which is surprising just because I'm an avid reader. From books into movies, J.K. Rowling, has pretty much created Harry Potter, and now he seems so real, just because how descriptive she was in her novels that was brought into the movies. Plus I bet a lot of people feel like they've pretty much grown up with Harry. I just remember in 6th grade watching Harry's first film that was released in 2001, holy cow. When the first novel was released in 1997, I remember all the hype about the books, but I was interested in other books. I'm so interested by J.K. Rowling's release dates for her novels, it just amazes me, it seems like every few years or months since 1997, a Harry Potter adventure has been born. But Why am I giving history of Harry? I have no idea, I feel like this new knowledge should be your knowledge too?I have absolutely no idea.
Some days I feel like I should be a book critic, sit around and read all day for a job. And be the person author and writers love to hate if there is a poor critique.
Harry Potter is great, for many reasons, Number one, the books, kids love them, read them, obsess over them, which is fantastic psychologically, the more they read, the easier studying and learning in school gets. The 'violence' and problems that Harry runs into, kids can relate to, such as the reoccurring bullies, and gives kids an idea how deal with them.
No matter how much someone could ever hate the Harry Potter novels, they cannot deny that reading is good for not only the children that read them, but for all ages to read them.
And so forth, comes humor about the world's favorite wizard.
"I just came back from the new Harry Potter movie. Harry's getting old. They should start calling him Harold Potter. " - Leo from Funny People (2009)
About the Toy Nimbus 2000 " It seems the replica of Harry's magical broom has bewitched so many teenage girls!"
" Harry Potter and the secret of hormones"
I'm all Harry Pottered out....
