Writers as Readers


 
 
2.) The genres that interest me are usually in the Sci-Fi genre, including fan fictions. I really enjoy this genre because it’s not complete fantasy, which I like, plus it usually has really good story morals. I’m drawn o science fiction books because I usually end up watching the TV show or movie of the book first, then i end up reading the book because I really enjoyed the motion picture.

4.) One of my best memories when reading a book is when I get so into a book that I completely forget where I am, I just get sucked into the book and forget about all my worries and responsibilities.

5.) Pretty much any book that involves any TV show/movie4 I’ve watched I’ll really enjoy it, and I won’t be able to put it down. On the other hand pretty much any book that the school has me read, that’s required reading it will take forever for me to get through because you can’t force a book upon someone. They’re like relationships and you can’t force them.

7.) The first book I remember reading all by myself was Matilda. I just remember being so proud of me because it was the first chapter book that I didn’t need any help with reading, plus I really enjoyed the story.

8.) I have so many favorite books, and book series it’s not even funny. I really like the book heroes, as well as the hunger book series. Then there’s star trek, the great Gatsby, and star wars, and so many more. These are just a few of the more recent books I’ve read that I’ve come to really enjoy.                         

10.) I do feel like some people are pressured into reading “popular” books, even I have felt that way, but when I did read the “popular” book I found that it was deemed “popular” for a reason, because it then became one of my favorite books. So yes I do believe books have the power to move people to do things, especially if it has strong morals.

9.) When I finished reading the fault in our stars I was angry afterwards because any though I like the author and he has a very interesting way of writing, it was just the same old love story in any other book that was completely predictable.

When I finished reading Heroes I was sad because the main character Hiro realized that you can’t change the past, and he was unable to save Charlie due to his higher destiny.

When I finished reading Star trek I was happy because who could really be upset after reading star trek? I mean it’s pretty much the best thing in existence; it’s definitely my guilty pleasure that I constantly think about (and make many references to on a daily basis).

Writers Dreaming


5.) I think it’s very amazing how someone can just decide to not talk for five years, I personally don't think I could go that long without talking, but if I could I would get so much more work done because talking takes up so much of my time especially during any of my classes where I have friends in. I also feel like it's important to talk sometimes though, first of all for communication reasons and also to ask for feedback and to fix mistakes and what not.

 

4.) I feel like dreams can sometimes have something to do with our real life and symbolize our ambitions, thoughts, and feelings but most of the time at least when I dream I can't think of one thing in my dream that relates that to my actual life. Since most of my dreams don't correspond with my life I doubt that they relate/ symbolize things sometimes. Now I'm not saying that all dreams don't symbolize somehow because I know that sometimes they do. I’ve even had dreams where I'm just in school going through a normal day, because I think about school a lot. /I'm just saying that not all dreams have a meaning, so don't over think it.

 

9.) Things I do to get me motivated to do something or start writing (html) is watching movies, or Netflix, and even just talking with my friends gets me inspired. now I don’t really write as in creating stories, more like I write html code for my actual blog where I can design my page and add new things such as a sidebar, cursor, scroll button, even add mouse sparkles, and it's all my shows that I watch that inspire my blog design.

 

11.) I think it's difficult for someone older to learn new things because they are so used to their routine already that changing it can hold some difficulties, but if someone really wants to learn something I believe that they can achieve their goal. you're only holding yourself back and as long as you believe you can do it, then you can, so don't let anyone get in your way of your dreams and goals because it's your life so make the most of it.

Weird dream…

A couple years ago I dreamt that I had to go to a party that one of my dad’s friends was having at their house, and in the dream the kind of parties that people would have were “clown” arties which in the dream was completely normal to have where the host would hang up clown decorations and on the front door instead of having a wreath, people would put a clown mask showing that they were having a “clown party” th their house so people could find out where the party was at. Well, in this dream I really didn’t want to go to the party because I never really liked to go to events with my parents work friends but they made me go anyway. Everyone just wore normal clothes, just like any other party. so i go inside the house with my parents and after a while everyone was smoking so i went outside the house on the front porch so i could get some fresh air when there was a biker driving by, but it wasn't just any biker it was a clown on a motorcycle. Then i felt very panicked to take down the clown mask wreath so the biker couldn't see it; but it was too late so i ran inside to tell my parents aboout what just happened so we could get everyone out of the house because i knew they were coming (the clowns). but just as i was getting my parents out the door they arrived to the house, and turned it into a hostage situation untill finally they killed everyone, including me. now i don't really understand why i had this dream or what it could possibly symbolize, and it sounds silly writting it out here, but in my dream it was a really serious and scary situation that i don't wish to experience again.


Dream Threads

Closing my eyes became a fear, this war was a mistake that never should have happened. This time war was brought upon by the dalecks, destroying everything and anyone who they deemed insuperior to them; which was everyone. And now my family, friends, and entire race of Time Lords are completely extinct, all but me. I’m all alone now and maybe it’s better this way, but I can’t help but connect with people on earth because I’ve never met anyone who was not important;  and maybe I might just interfere a little bit, but only to help people when other monsters come along. So I am here once again, helping anyone, and everyone that requires my assistance, well… I am the Doctor. There always seems to be something that comes up where everywhere. Wait… why is that woman repeating everything I’m saying? Then the airplane door flies open…

Sleep, serene plum and gray, must end
Rubbing the eyes to get a clearer picture of this obscure Normandy surrounding you
The early morning sky, still celestial mauve, beckons you back to sleep
Walking down the creaking stairs, a complex grandeur, yet simple
Into the kitchen, the whir of the coffee maker, a tempting tempest rumor
Finally, a cup of classic bisque coffee in hand
Ready to join the Vermont current on the way to work

(inspired by paint pallets and friends)
Door of opportunity

there could be a place
behind that creaking door
of riches and wonders
but be careful of which door you open
for if you open the wrong one, it could lead to poverty and hopelessness
but all things come to an end
much like how this poem will soon end too
so you will always have another shot at opening the right door for you
but until that day comes
travel on and don't give up
because you'll never know if you don't try your luck.
 
(poem inspired by Disney paint pallet creaking door)
 
Fresh Foliage

The evergreen trees
lined with frozen vanilla
are most beautiful
It's snowing outside
Like its frozen vanilla
lining on the trees
( Haikus inspired by paint pallets: frozen vanilla, and fresh foliage. )
