i want to WRITE a BOOK


freaks me out when I found out myself. well starts out like this.

I was browsing through the files in my old computer one day. And I found something that strikes me as amusing. A page I did, designed, of something that was suppose to be a magazine cover. I had pictures, headlines, subtitles and all that.

And that reminded me of once upon a time before, when I actually made my own magazine called Girl Magazine. I kid you not. I did make such a magazine. It has the most pink colour you can imagine a magazine could have. It was really fun.

Sad that computer got reformatted, it would be fun to get to see it again. And I realize, especially recently, how much I love to design stuff. Especially brochures, sites, magazine covers and etc. I love playing with the layouts, the creativity of the whole thing.

I'm getting tingles as I describe it. So with that, I decided, since now I know my ways through Adobe Photoshop, that I want to design a magazine. For fun. Might sound crazy coming from a 15 years old who still have a pile of homeworks waiting.

I understand its of no reason or use at all but it satisfies me. It gives me a certain kind of pleassure knowing I have created something out of the own juices in the creative part of my brain. And the proper use of modern technology. Smiles cheesy-ly.

So before I even got to doing that, another idea triggered up up here. I thought of designing a book cover. Like the cover of a story book. And Ithought, a book cover has to be in front ok a book with a story. Thats how I felt like I want to do it.

May sound lame I don't deny. But I am determined to do this. well sort of.

See how I love writing stories as much as I love designing. why not yaR?!

And I have this wanting for my so called to-be book become published and sold. Big dreams I realize. Especially with me lacking time and I realize my BAD GRAMMAR would not agree with the whole 'make book to sell' thing. And all those crapolas you have to go through to publish it.

*shit. I just made me lose my own interest*

I just long for that feeling of having someone buying your book, that they're interested enough to read. That brings you at least one step of being a good author. That people actually want to read you stories. Your work. Your mind and your creativity. It again gives this certain juice of pleasure knowing that your work is not wasted, or its good enough. *OOO.... tingles to the idea again!*

But this mght be one of those momentary crazy strikes I get when I sa I want to do something and ending up stopping half way!. Get that a lot. Well whatever it is I know I at least have something to do when I'm bored.

*gooey gooey ga ga*

so anyways, I was recently introduced to this guy name Shahriman Latif (give props to miza) and although thats not the way I would write my stories, it does interest me though. Its nice to see how he puts his words together. Telling such common things and turning it into something, fun to read.

although I much prefer my blog to be about life as I go through it instead of life as I make it. I write in my blog about things that I experienced. Or things that I wish. Sometimes my thought. To me, my blog is my own way to remember how I am/was. Looking forward about 10 years from now, my blog is my excuse to see back how I write. How I acted and how I am.(or was)

and along the way I know, I can compare my writings before and recent only to realize I have improved. Thats what my blog is for. Thats what I want it to be for.

And in 10 years now I want to remember how my friends were like so friends.must.COMMENT!!!

- first come fanfics. then come novels.

A blog is a sacred thing. yes, you can laugh.

TO each its own right? You may write about how you are now, others may write down their dreams or perhaps their deepest desires. To me, my blog is something special to me because it gives that person a right to look inside of my head and to know how and what I think.

That is why I don't just easily go out and give people my blog's address. A blog is sacred.

Yup, a blog is sacred alright. You'll feel horrible when judgmental people start smearing rubbish all over it. Trust me. :p

And hey, I'm humbled that you mentioned me the way you did. Keep the faith, and I want a signed copy of your first book, if it's all possible.

Good luck!
