One of my friends at school, Kelsey, inspired me to start a new story. She's writing her own story in the back of her biology notebook (like anybody ever takes real notes) she told me to start a story if i had an idea, so now im starting w/ the outline for it. Mine's gonna be a little different than hers because mine's gonna be written in verse, and it won't be written in my biology notebook.


i think i'm going to write for a long time and see how it goes before i start posting. i dont want it to turn into something its not and have to start from the beginning again. im going to finish this one this time. im always telling myself to start writing and i can just never get it out on the page. but this one, i feel more inspired to finish. i think im gonna post a page in each post and maybe about 10 at a time. i plan for it to be long, and not just wrap up at the end.


i also got inspired by the writing style of Ellen Hopkins. if you dont know who that is, she wrote the books crank, burned, impulse, and glass so far. all of her writing is written in verse. the book i read by her was burned. even though it was a pretty depressing ending, i still liked it. it showed me a different style of writing that i had never seen before. i going to make it long because it will be written in verse. feel free to share your thoughts about this, because i will love to reply to them. and once i start posting, tell me what you think, or where i need improvements. xD thanks
