Q1: If you could have lunch with 3 people (alive or dead)... who would it be?

If I could have lunch with anyone, I would first choose my Grandmother. She died when my mom was 8 so I never got to meet her. I've always imagined what life would be like if she would have survived. Maybe I would feel like I actually had grandparents. Maybe she would bake and teach me old family recipes. Maybe she and I would have done all the things that grandparents are supposed to do with their grandchildren, and all the things that mine did not do. I would want to have lunch with her.

Along with her, I would have lunch with John Green. He's one of my favorite authors. I would love to sit and talk to him about his books and where he gets his inspiration. He's such a great writer.

Other than that, I would really love to have lunch with David Tennant. He is one of my favorite actors. I'm not one of those insane fan girls that freaks out over meeting people, but I would love to just meet David Tennant.

To write or not to write?

Write everyday.

It's the basic rule to be a writer. We are suppose to write everyday. Ignore life, just write. Ignore writers block, just write. Ignore the dog barking at you, just write. Ignore that job, just write. Ignore your family, just write. Who needs a shower? Just write.

I love to write more than anything else in the world, but I fear I am not cut out for it. It's hard for me to shut out the world and develop my craft. It's hard to ignore the things screaming out for attention. More than that, it's hard to find words at times. I have so many ideas in my head but to get them on paper is somewhat of a challenge. I find myself writing characters, novels and poems in the shower or driving to class instead of at night at my desk.

To be a writer, I must write everyday.

My New Years resolution is to do just that, write every day. Write a blog post. Write a journal entry. Write a poem. Write a story. Write a book. It doesn't matter. I just want to write for the write of my life. Just write.

Christmas time is here

Gotta Get Away

I need a vacation. Somewhere nice. Somewhere around no one. I don't want to be with or by people. I just want to be by myself. Alone. Solitude. I need a break from being held together by tape and glue. I need to just be alone and heal. I need to stop putting on a smile, and just fall apart. I need to get away.

To here...

or here....

I don't care where. Just away.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I love Christmas. I love the happiness of the holidays and the colors. I love the decorations and lights. I love the music and the faith. I love Christmas. I love decorating with my mom and I love our traditions. One of our traditions is decorating the tree. So this week we decorated the tree. My mom collects the North Pole Series, and we usually put them up every year. The last two years we haven't put them up, so I was really excited when my mom pulled them out again.
