Hello, blogging buddies!!!!! I missed you!!!!!
Did you miss ME???
*blinks*
Oh, wait... don't answer that...
So. Blog Hiatus is kaput. I have returned.
AND I brought two lovely gifts for all of you!!!
Gift #1: Best Writing Advice EVER
So. During my blog hiatus, I went to see Kung Fu Panda 2. It was too much awesome for words. BUT I can speak about something that's very important for Po, the movie's main character. Before he can defeat his antagonist (a very fluffy and evil and annoying peacock), he must achieve one teeny weeny thing--inner peace.
Why am I implying Po's inner peace is related in any way, shape or form to writing? Well, imagine you're Po. Now imagine your WIP is that fluffy and evil and annoying peacock. You can't tackle the WIP when you're frustrated, or when you don't value yourself as a writer, right? How about when you think this whole writing thing is a waste of your time? Or when life gets in the way so often, you can't get yourself to stop and organize the chaos around you?
Being happy with yourself as both a person and writer is what will motivate you to go further. And sometimes, that happiness will be the result of taking a step back and just reevaluating things. It's okay to stand aside and not push through the blues, or pretend they're not happening. Accept your truth, and inner peace will just come running after you.
Gift #2: Pics of Fake Boyfriends (SUPERNATURAL Edition)
You knew this was coming, didn't you??? DIDN'T YOU???
Well, here they are:
And my personal favorite...
You're welcome.
Now tell me: WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING ALL THIS TIME??? Any books or movies I should check out???
You're back! *tackles and hugs* Congrats on finishing out the school year. It's amazing how much a writer's thoughts and mindset can affect creativity, and I totally agree with your panda-induced wisdom.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! And thanks for the Supernatural photos...that last one is definitely my new favorite!!
