uhhh i got 50k last nano. ^^;;

I can never write up to 30k.
I just do not have enough ideas to write to 50k+ lol

I managed it. But it's not anywhere near complete. I want to go back to an old story and maybe see if I can make it to the end...

Shadami: how far into the story was that? *curious*

Fuu: do you like to write shorter fiction?

Nope. I don't like to write short stries at all. I just don't have many ideas.
And then i hate my story and erase it all.

You could try for a novelette. Something in between. If you can finish anything it might help you feel better.

I just write whatever I can
and not say "Oh it's a novel."
Or something.

I just hate how i describe things or I hate my ideas.
I prefer originality but nothing is ever original ever.

Yea, it's hard to be original when you are constantly influenced by the millions of people around you and all the things they do and say and like... even when you don't notice it.

So if you're going to be influenced, why not do it on purpose?

I just lack the
creativity to write something worth reading lol

I doubt that. I always say, that if you write something, there will be SOMEONE out there who will want to read it and who would PAY to read it as well >.> that's my opinion. With over 7 billion people, there's bound to be at least one and one is all it takes to start something crazy.

Have you ever read the book, The boy who harnessed the wind?

Well those people can keep their money to spend it on something better XDD

Nope. I don't read all that much since all I have time for
is studying my GED, trying to pass at least one of my exams
and sleep+eat+chores x. x

Well, there's only one you in the whole universe... unless you have an identical twin but still, your thoughts are your own. So, why not create all you can because one day, someone will appreciate it, probably more than you do xD

Ah, it's like a middle school reading level book so it reads quickly and it's interesting. But it's a true story and the kids whole life got completely turned around because of one person. One person taking interest can change the world or start something big that does.

Good luck wwith you exams o.o

Eh. I just have nothing to create. xD My stories have always been predictable. I am only good with role-playing. -shrugs-

Thanks. I still need to take the pre-tests in my book and see how well I do.

Maybe writing isn't really the "art" form for you? What else do you do?

Pre-tests... you got this! :D When is your GED?

I draw.
But also am not great a it.
I am not really good at anything lol

GED doesn't have a whole test
or date to take it. They come in 4 different exams.

I think "good" is in the eyes of the beholder. I mean, I think MY drawing 2 teacher is AWFUL. All of his works are either scary as crap or extremely grotesque or... they look like something my 2 year old would do and yet... he has works in museums all over the world. I just scratch my head like "why!?!?!"

All that really matters is if you enjoy it or not. if you like it and it makes you happy or calms you... then the opinions of anyone else don't matter for a darn. You can just forget everyone else and do what makes you happy. Now, if it doesn't make you happy and you are forcing yourself to do it because you think that you SHOULD for some reason, then it's best to stop for a while. At least until you don't feel like that anymore >.>

Oh, well that's nice. I had to take the Florida GKT (general knowledge test) to be a teacher (well continue taking classes to be) and it was 4 sections but you take them all together at once. And if you fail one part you have to take it all over again o.o

Idc for people's opinions on my work unless it is good criticism. I am saying I am not good at it because I dislike my art style. And I can never seem to draw characters who aren't effen skinny af because in rl I am skinny af. >__<

I force myself to draw because i wont get better by wishing it.
I have great ideas. Just not the skill for it.
My next piece i have great ideas. No idea how to go at it because I have to draw actual anatomy. Like Ribs, a heart, and flesh rotting.
And my only art pieces I have aren't even finished. So I can't ever consider myself to be an artist because nothing is finished. I only consider myself a hobbyist.

It's not really like that for the GED.
Aside from if you do not pass you just have to study harder and then take it over.
Plus there are tons of pre-tests in the book and there is one online.
The online one tells you the pages in what book to look over.

They actually changed the passing score from 160 to 145.
I was 3 marks off on the pre-test for English.
And my sister got a 157. Which made me feel like shit.
But i am pretty decent at science. So I may do that first.
Math is last. And so is Social studies.

Maybe take a look at an anatomy book and see what the muscles look like. Skinny style is okay though. have you ever watched One Piece? ;) Every character is tall and skinny and they are so cool <3

Oh, take a look at pintrest. There's tons of things on drawing anatomy. I'm so tired of drawing skeletons though. That's all we did in drawing class. Nude models and skeletons =.= Like please let me do something else before I stab my eyes out with this charcoal... x.x

Oh yea, the dreaded math. I would say, don't stress too much over it. IDK if you are a stressing out kinda person but just try to relax and stay calm. You will have plenty of time to do it and like you said, you can always do it again. And if you do, then you'd probably know exactly what to study for and all that. It'd be easy-peasy. But I've got my fingers crossed for you, for a first time go ;)

I know of one piece and seen some episodes, I am not really big on the art of it or anything however.

I already have a board on the anatomy and such on pinterest. I just don't have the motivation to draw. It comes and goes. idk why. I've been very unmotivated. I don't know if it's because I am in the process of changing my schedule or what.

Nah I am not stressing out over math since I don't have to take the exam until I am ready. I am only planning to knock out the science and Language arts first.

Good luck then :D I'm gonna step off for a little bit. My shoulder is bugging me

er which one are you asking about?

last years I was doing a dungeons and dragons inspired one. and it just... ugh i hate the first draft so much. i don't even know how far in it is. I didn't exactly ay out anything before hand. there was no end goal in mind.

the other one. i think i had a few chapters written.

It was in response to that comment. So the last one I guess? But I suppose it might be best to ask what's the farthest story arc wise you've ever gotten in anything? Ever been close to the end? 50k is quite a bit, though it's often not the end for me.

So recently I got back into blogging.
And not on tumblr

I forgot all about my writing blog on blogspot[i know i'm so old school
cause no one uses that anymore]

But decided to make a few blogs.
Made one for my characters, one for just my fanfic and one that
has all of my writing pieces on it.

I tried to blog about writing once. I think that's something a little too hard for me to remember to do, but I liked the idea of it.

I don't really blog.
I usually think outside of the box.
