Haha, oh GOD. That interview for a column in my local paper focusing on teenagers "expressing their selves" has bitten me on the ass, and won't let go.
My mom also finds it odd that the section of the paper with my interview is missing.
I WONDER WHY.
It was stupid of me to assume that I could hide it AND they wouldn't know. Of course there are papers in my parents' offices, and will have a friend or two speak up about it
I don't care that my friends read the damn column about how I'm a writer that mainly focuses on poetry, how I became one, blah blah blah, I just didn't want my family to read it. And it sounds lame whether I like it or not since the person who writes the column has a style that doesn't appeal to me. I dunno, too many short sentences.
As for "iSurprise" today I learned to check what's connected to my ipod charger. I pulled the cord down without looking, thinking about telling my sister that the charger is in my room, and the end seemed heavier than it should have been. Then my sister's ipod fell, and I barely caught it. Her response to my yelp from shock was "OH YEAH, MY IPOD. I figured you'd notice it before plugging yours in." Oops XD
There also won't be a snow day tomorrow. That's right, I said it. Fuck jinxes and rumors, IT WON'T HAPPEN.
And for those still reading, I have a question: What do you think makes a piece of writing fantastic? What catches your attention, and keeps you reading?
Fuck it. What gets rid of the product of nostalgia, dis-attachment from friends and family, pain, and uncertainty combined in an abstract form?
Oh, and I really do appreciate the support from those who have recently added me to their watch list. (: It's a bit of a motivation boost.

Feel free to make me scan things. My poor scanner has been feeling a little neglected by moi lately.

My only accomplishment as an artist is I got fanart into Newtype USA's April 2006 issue. But hey, that's works for me.
Anyway, I congratulate you on being published. You're one of the gifted few who can still write. Keep it up. You should be proud.
As for the question: What do you think makes a piece of writing fantastic? What catches your attention, and keeps you reading?
For me, it is the writer's ability to capture human sentiments and communicate it in a way that the readers can feel it as well and make it their own. It's crucial for me, whether in prose or poetry.
Take for instance, Haruki Murakami, who is my favorite writer. The situations in his novels are fantastic and sometimes, downright surreal, but the characters in his works are all human. All too human, in fact. You feel their disappointments, their heartbreak, their insecurity, and cheer them on in their journey to discovering themselves.
I can't find too many writers who write like him.
