Young Women Writers

I’ve recently come to the conclusion that my blog lacks focus and as an unfocused individual, I am an expert in the field. Up until this very second I’ve just been posting entries to post entries (Posting entries and talking about posting entries makes me excited… but I have to stop talking about posting entries now because I’ve had too much water to drink and I don’t want to giggle to hard and have a shameful accident.)

From this point on I am going to stay on task (or pillage nearby villages… I’m sure they have lots of things I wouldn’t mind coveting… like secret decoder rings, spare peg legs and swearing pirates.. perhaps I can even harvest a few busty virgins to make walk the plank…yaargh!) Wait, what was I saying…. oh yes… staying on task.

This is a blog made by a writer (Well, someone that claims to be a writer…. I have a few expensive pieces of paper that back up my claim….for realz!) for writers. I want it to be a community where we can all share our ups and downs and occasional corkscrews. Though, please refrain from oversharing because I’m not toooo interested in hearing about your strage fetishes and/or odd hygiene habits…. I have enough of my own to worry about and I don’t need any of you people bursting my bubble.

That being said. I write. I submit to publishers. Most of the time I get turned down, but I keep on plugging away, hoping that one day I’ll be able to see my name in print next to some snooty rich kid that paid their way into print. (Oh snap!) What I’m really aiming for is a sort of Bukowski-esque type of notoriety… as Charles Bukowski is my hero. I envy the freedom that the man embraced in his life…. and that’s just a polite way of saying look how far the perverted alcoholic got. If he can do it…. I can at least try and fail :)

So… from now on I will have a writing related purpose every time I blog (Even if something incredibly cool happens to me and I want to share it with you because…well, they’ll never post it up on gossip girl….) and I will attempt to end each blog with a writing prompt for you to all try your hand at.

My first few prompts were good for a noob, but I’m tired of booching and I want some taco bell… I mean minions…..er readers?

So. Here is my first NEW AND IMPROVED prompt!

(It’s really too bad I can’t add some cheesy car dealership vocals over this blog… SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!… You’d all want to shoot me, but I’d have at least gotten your attention.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

Find a candid picture of yourself… nothing you’ve posed for because that will defeat the purpose of this exercise. Now take the picture and in 100 words or less, describe for us or recreate the emotions that you were feeling at the very moment the picture was snapped. Then, if at all possible, post your picture along with your 100 word creation as a comment at the end of this blog entry. Good luck and write on!

Here is my entry:

Simplicity in walking down the dimly lit street after carousing with some drunken thespians. Sheer elation in knowing that even if the rest of the world was judging me, even if I had to return to an empty dorm room and dine on gormet Ramen noodles, that I had experienced true friendship. If we never crossed paths again, I knew that while we sauntered down that empty college town street back to our respective abodes that he would lay down his life to save me, that I could divulge my secrets without being condemned, that for one night I was me.
