  • Better writer tips…

    1. Write whatever you want. Then take out the first paragraph and last paragraph. Sorry. I can’t do that. Each word, each sentence, each paragraph is precious!
    2. Take a huge bowel movement every day. Yes. That’s possible as long as you eat a lot of bulky food and a good dose of your favorite laxative. You can’t make poop without material.
    3. Bleed in the first line. So using violence is supposed to grab a reader’s attention? I don’t think so!
    4. Don’t ask for permission. I am not a whore (IMHO, of course)! It’s my right to blog!
    5. Write a lot. Refer to item number two. It’s about crap. I write a lot about crap.
    6. Read a lot. Refer to item number two. Again, I read a lot of crap, which is reflected in my blog!
    7. Read before you write. I write before I read. And sometimes I forget to use the “Proofread” feature and I still end up editing my blog entries!
    8. Coffee. Try a coffee enema (per a YouTube video on “Gerson Therapy“. It’s about ten minutes long.)
    9. Break the laws of physics. You can’t break the law of karma, that’s for sure!
    10. Be Honest. So if I revealed my true (birth) name, wouldn’t being TOO honest hurt the people that I once love, hate me moreso after reading what I had to say about them! Right.
    11. Don’t Hurt Anyone. My purpose is to break people and get them back on track. The stubborn and dumb ones are especially troublesome and challenging, too!
    12. Don’t be afraid of what people think. I should be afraid for “national security”.
    13. Be opinionated. Opinions really don’t matter when 99% of people have closed minds!
    14. Have a shocking title. I don’t like the “shock and awe” plot. It messes people up.
    15. Steal. Copyright infringement is ridiculous. ALL data is borrowed by the hands of God. There is NO price for sharing what belongs to NO one but EVERY one!
    16. Make people cry. That is my purpose to: make people cry. Because a good spanking doesn’t hit home base until you make the brats cry.
    17. Relate to people. My own relatives think I am wrong. They hate us for being “normal”, careful and simple.
    18. Time heals all wounds. Scars cannot be removed. Whatever thoughts are tied to time have not understanding of infinity.
    19. Risk. I took risk and I want them dead.
    20. Be funny. I laugh at them now being their lies will be exposed.
    21. The last line needs to go BOOM! Again, this writer is too violent for more docile entities. He must have been around bombs in his neighborhood.
    22. Use a lot of periods. I prefer using commas and string MANY thoughts into LONG sentences.
    23. Write every day. I have no choice since I am un/deremployed and penniless.
    24. Write with the same voice you talk in. That’s what I’m doing right now!
    25. Deliver value with every sentence. I only deliver the truth. It’s up to the reader to find value in my hidden messages/codes.
    26. Take what everyone thinks and explore the opposite. That’s what I’ve been doing and no one really cares!
    27. Have lots of ideas. I have lots of ideas. And the NWO is coming to fruition, by the way.
    28. Sleep eight hours a day. I used to sleep ten hours a day because I had no life outside my home. Now that I’m playing the older sister to this elderly couple, I have to sleep at least six to eight hours.
    29. Don’t write if you’re upset at someone. I write whenever dark energy manifests. Those that dare read my rants will know that I’m really pissed off at people, politicians and extraterrestrials.
    30. Use “said” instead of any other word. I said: “Get a life.” But people continue to stay indoors and sit behind the computer. No one will listen to reason.
    31. Paint. Or draw. Yes! I have painted. I have drawn! Now I want a good drawing and painting program and screen that I could use with my blog!
    32. Let is sleep. My thoughts are quick. I could never put my thoughts aside until the next day or night!
    33. Then take out every other sentence again. All sentences come through as such will NOT be taken out!

  • Writing 50,000 words…

    Last night, I registered for the National Novel Writing Month, which starts on November 1, 2011. It’s simple: all I did was create a user-name/account, password and agree that I’m over 13 years of age and that I agree to their words. The requirements are simple: write long and hard and complete 50,000 words by the end of midnight on November 30, 2011. Quality does NOT matter. Prizes are only the completiong this novel and maybe a T-shirt, badges and other souvenirs.

    So I’m looking into purchasing a Premium Theme for $45 — Theme: Chapters by WooThemes. There are 20 tabs or chapters to this design. And so that helps narrow my Table of Contents to 20 topics of which I have brainstormed to include my most popular categories, which are off-hand to include a broad area under Arts and Science; Banking and Business; Education and Media; Military and Intelligence; Politics and Diplomacy; Psychology and Training; and Spiritual and Religion. Other areas may include conspiracy/paranormal, ideals/mundane, pets/people, words/wisdom and other sub-categories that I’m thinking bout.

    My mind is still sharp, my memory is still keen and my sentiments still run high heaven. I’ve calculated that at least five to seven page per chapter would include at least 2,500 words. That should add up to the 50,000 words for the twenty tab/chapters/topics I plan on writing. I will use my mind and whatever memory is left of my small mind to consolide my over nine thousand weblog entries to be included in this novel. Brouhaha!

    But I would have to register another blog, just to differentiate my primary blog from something worthy for publication in the bookstores or online. However, my writing skills are mediocre and basic. So I won’t expect any fanfare, except maybe a few snickers here and there by those who dare humor themselves at my price, not that I take things personally but my word are part of me. Nonetheless, I will try a novel after practicing with blogging. Right on.

  • Why then, is writer’s block endemic?

    First I do NOT know this word endemic. Having learned what endemic meant, writer’s block happens because the mind is not yet ready to share what it knows or how to continue — with caution or go forward. Without much thinking and simply putting aside thoughts for later recollection, block talks to itself sometimes and when embarrassed will confuse itself further and claim forgetfulness only happens because it is too tired or too busy to try harder and better next time. Call it foggy brained or dementia. Writer’s block arises from stagnation of the soul, too. The will longs to be free and when its fence of creativity is swung wide open, the spirit within gallops forth to long hours of writing.

    Day 31: Epilogue: Write a letter to yourself.

    Nah! Please read my old epilogue (a poem) and for those interested here is my prologue (a poem), too.

    Day 30: Someone in your family that means so much to you.

    Does it have to be one person? How about pets? Do they count, too? Because more than person and many pets mean a lot to me. There is really no particular person in my family that I’d give credit to solely based on merit, deed, accomplishment, etc. Everyone that had played a role in my life mean so much to me. They are loved even they choose a path of selfishness and insecurity.

    Day 29: What WAS your biggest dream in life (you wanted to do as a kid but no longer can)?

    I do no recall ever wanting the biggest dream in my life as a kid. I may have had many big dreams but none seems to stick out as obvious at the moment. As a result, this particular blog entry is very short.

    Day 28: What is your biggest dream in life (what one great thing do you want to accomplish)?

    My dream is simple and my dreams are many. One day I hope to know what is my biggest dream in life. I have none at the moment and therefore do not see myself accomplishing anything.

    Day 27: What is your vocation (why are you here on earth)?

    I don’t know what is my vocation other than my role in sharing my re-interpretations about old data from people, news via television and online and various sources. I suspect that I’m supposed to relax my mind, pick-up my inner dialogues or other stray “truths”, regurgitate the “food for thoughts” like a parakeet would to its pals, sit back and watch how events unfold based on an eternal matrix co-created by blogging here. I play both the devil’s advocate and an angel in disguise. I am supposed to a human, though — living, working and playing on this planet for a “time”.

    Day 26: How do you handle/deal with both success and failure?

    Both success and failure are a part of life. To get past failure is success. And the feeling can be wonderful and uplifting, too. To succeed requires hard work. Then again another failure is a sign for one to put life into perspective.

    For example, I wanted to succeed in many things. But because I was both too lazy and too dumb, I failed to pass through many doors of opportunity. And as a result, I ended here at this “temp job from hell”. It’s a boring underemployment where my knowledge could have been put to better use in a higher paying and more challenging job.

    Instead of contributing to society my other talents, such as singing, dancing, bossing and cleaning up the environment, here I am sitting in front of this damn computer and blogging. I’ve finished work in one hour and the client is so generous to keep us bums afloat for another month before they decide to axe us.

    But blogging is good because very few readers are learning how my mind thinks and what they should think about their lives and how successful they are to own a computer and log online. Some are failures and they don’t have the opportunity to blog AND work at the same time.

    In retrospect, success and failure are states of mind and how one preceives an event as being either better or worse than before or after the fact. Although this job pays low, I finally got the chance to exercise by walking around the blocks during my breaks.

    In my previous job, I was my own boss. And I got fat from eating weekly snacks of donuts and bagels and dedicating my time away from ALL my breaks to finishing up the work on a daily basis. I didn’t want to work overtime, which is a liability to the company.

    So while my philosophy is to work hard and succeed in my own special ways, any failure can be overcome with a little time to explore one’s strengths and weaknesses. I’m sure I’ll get out of this mess either by myself or with a little help from my family and friends, who come and go.

    Day 25: Discuss something you planned that ended up not being what you expected.

    I planned on retiring. After leaving my last well-paid, full-time job back in 2007, I realized that I wasn’t happy at home either. All I did the whole day was collect unemployment insurance and blog online. There was no motivation in life because I had everything — food, clothing, shelther, car, and a loving family, including my beloved parakeets to keep me sane.

    I didn’t have any responsibility, except pay my bills — landline, cellphone and car insurance. Then I met people online and saw how they too struggled to “stay afloat” due to economic and financial hardships. I took it upon myself to oblige on their behalf. Foolishly, I didn’t have enough savings to get me through the three years that Obama screwed up as a nation.

    But thankfully, the “fellow brothers” worked their magic and were able to stablize my anger and frustrations as well as others, who suck up the resources of other hard-working, tax-paying American citizens.

    The way I see it, there are certain groups whose culture refuses to work hard because they believe in pay back (or reparation) and other forms of social benefits. I don’t have to mention which groups specifically but they have too many children on welfare and lots of abortions.

    They don’t believe in education as a stepping stone to success and are simply are too damn lazy to at least try or try harder than the rest. They basically blame others for their misery and unfortunate circumstances — NWO, Illuminati, Freemasonry, God, aliens, extremists, etc.

    Although I really hate to work with a bunch of morons and wanted to take the easy lifestyle of doing practically nothing and to learn how to shop for myself and really enjoy going out for once, I don’t want to pollute the environment with my misery of tissue papers from crying out my eyes (after watching sad movie while eating popcorn and drinking soda) and with my idleness of sitting down many hours (without exercises, such as walking outdoors to get some fresh air).

    Furthermore, I didn’t want to increase my chances of getting health problems, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, high triglycerdies, and clog arteries. I didn’t want to become a disabled burden to the medical/health community because I didn’t work full-time to pay for health insurance in the first place!

    What I really wanted was a job that meant something to me, that fulfilled my every hopes and dreams, that made me lots of money and brought me happiness, too. I was chasing my “hot air” unfortunately and ended up with this “temp job for hell” temporarily until prosperity, good fortune and good luck gives me “a wind and a nod”.

    What are three things you can do to be a better friend to the people in your life?

    1. Food — Prepare better tasting recipes. Cook a meal.
    2. Clothing — Sew better looking clothes. Knit a hat and scarf.
    3. Shelter — Build a better loving home. Buy a real property and a house.

    Day 24: Discuss a spontaneous moment in your life that turned out to be fantastic.

    Would a “spontaneous combustion” be the closest way to describe this topic? That moment wasn’t anything like that — the feeling of fireworks came from within. All I did was pick-up the electric blower and started cleaning up the backyard. This was after realizing how the old timers could no longer do as much as us younger kids.

    The truth was the resignation of being an irresponsible child and becoming a more accountable adult to the ones I love and who have come to love me. In return there is this debt that cannot be repaid financially. No. That would be crime of the heart.

    Part of being a family is just “being there” to “lift a finger”, to “lend a helping hand” and to give up “an arm and a leg”. For all its worth — it’s priceless. And that’s by starting to pick up things that we would take for granted, such as chores, gardening, home repairs, etc.
