You know you've been writing too long when you look up, find you've written the word 'reeaytn' and have absolutely no idea what it's meant to be...

Safe to say I departed the library at that moment, and headed for lunch, you can only write about the marvelous works of Edgar Allan Poe for so long before your brain melts out of your ear and you realise you are a true genius. Say, I wonder, am I the only one who gets swayed so easily from what I'm doing, writing wise? Deeply immersed in a fantasy short story of the days of old, then I watch Interview with the Vampire and that's it, I wanna write vamps instead! I've never written about vampires before though, I must say, despite the fact it is the trend, that is one thing I haven't done... Anyone else broached the subject? I don't think I could match up the current market of True Blood and the like, however. Alas, no. I shall be sticking to my ground this time. Right? I hope so...
Also, you may have notice I rather enjoy putting pictures with my blog posts. I feel like without them, the post would be a weary ghoul of a thing, lacking all substance and glamour, and the skeletal words which form it's frame would have no glossy idol to look up to and compliment them. That and GIFs ar kewl. Anyway, enough of my incessant rambling for now, tata! :) <3

P.s, don't burn your neck on curling tongs. Your friends think you've turned into Lucy from Dracula and pretty soon they're going to have to stake you in your coffin.

Bleh...

Feeling let down makes it hard to write when you're feeling sad and annoyed :/ I tried using it to throw myself into working, on both college work and my writing, but I don't really feel like it... Dip dying my hair violet makes me feel better :) but you know when people who should give a crap just... don't? With no logical reason either? It helps to have a friend on your side of the fence feeling the same as you <3 Ugh, I sound weepy, better change the subject, sorry. Names, are so hard sometimes. I seem to be able to either completely nail them or have literally none at all. Although as fellow blogger (check her out - http://bellicles.blogspot.co.uk/) and kindred spirit taught me one day at the college library, 'If in doubt, Sauerkraut!' using the word Sauerkraut to replace each and every name you can't think of, genius! Better than big blank spaces... However when my lovely other half reads my work he tends to get rather confused, especially as right now every single person and place holds said name... Hmmm... Better get onto that... On the plus side, scrolling through puppy pics to find one for this post! :3 TTFN! <3

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him... Actually, he's imaginary... 

Don't you just hate killing off nice characters? Killing off any characters, I'm useless! Always stalling with pointless dialogue. Tolkien must've bawled when he sent those arrows in Boromir's chest. Oooh Sean Bean... Anway, I figure this must be a pretty common problem, killing off a character only 3,000 words into my wee fantasy story and yet I still don't want to do it! It is pivotal that he dies. If he lives, there is no story. But he's just so friendly! Ah, it is a shame. But the story itself is coming on okay, very clear it was inspired by Midas and Macbeth (villains eh? Always begin with 'M'. Sometimes. Care to name any more?) And I've delved into the Southern Gothic Sookie Stackhouse books again! On Club Dead now, if you haven't read them, do. I fully reccomend it. And watch the TV series. And read the comic. And buy a Merlottes T Shirt. Anyone'd think I was Charlaine Harris! So if you want a taste of true vampires (mentioning no names ;) ) get yourself over to True Blood! Mmm, Eric... P.S, I adore Zooey Deschanel. Hence the GIF. Love her too. ^-^ <3

And so it begins... 

History coursework deadline is on Monday, the first day back at college, I have done an astoundingly small amount of work this holiday and now I appear to be in trouble... Two literature pieces to do as well... Ah... But anyway. As many other people who like writing may know, inspiration can strike at any time. Unfortunately with it comes the burning question, do you carry on the piece you'r doing and come back to it later, or do you drop your current piece and start up the new one? Yes, I have sunk back into fantasy, an idea that struck me about a month ago that I briefly scribbled down has blossomed and taken over my brain. I remember this question being tackled if my memory doesn't deceive me, by the resilient and everlasting hero of our childhoods, Jacqueline Wilson( who impressively comes up first on Google suggestions when you put in 'Jac'. On Blue Peter she was posed this and answered, write it down, in as much detail as you can, and come back to it later, otherwise your other story will most probably fall out of favour and it will be hard to get back into it. I want to take this advice, but staring blankly at the screen/page most of the time, it's hard not to revert back into the mindset of 'At least now I'm writing something...' After another short and sweet blog post, I shall now attempt to redraft my coursework in the same dedicated manner as I do my rants. Adieu! <3

A little background, perhaps?

  Well. Let's see now. Being as you are taking the time out to read this, I might as well tell you a little. I've written little bits and bobs since I was in single figures, scraps of which I still find in my fluffy Pink Panther notebook (yay! :3) and even declared myself 'Illustrator' sometimes, of the wobbly drawing of red giraffes. Fantasy had always been my stomping ground, and it's an understatement to say I'm an avid reader of it. I've wanted to write fantasy for years, but my pile of unfinished works grew ever larger, and eventually the imagination came to a grinding halt and my writing stopped altogether. However the saviour that is college came and with my new found literature friends came the writing again, happily ever after!
  My most recent project came as quite a turnaround, as I swapped the distant lands, swords and magic for a more contemporary modern story. A little clichéd perhaps, but here resides my fresh faced anime feel, Mystery, solved! A just out of university girl into the world of hired investigators, it's not a work of art, but it keeps me busy. And quirky characters with cheating millionaire husbands and lost dogs allows a little room for domestic conspiracy.
  Anyhow, that's my writingness. I chose the pseudonym Claudia Loreweaver with fantasy in mind, and I might delve back into my less realistic world soon, I hope so, as my fascination with the strange, obscure and mystical goes back to my roots, and I sincerely hope it drives my future too :) Thanks for reading :3 <3

"Last published on 05-Mar-2012" Ohh...

 With Easter comes procrastination it seems... My lack of writing extends to all forms of coursework as well as my pieces, and it's an uphill struggle to get back, as everyone knows. After drowning myself in chocolate I shall now resurface and attack (or possibly faceplant) the keyboard! *insert war cry here* ...hopefully.
  However a popular problem comes back that I assume most writers face... This story that I appear to be writing, is it good? Do I want to continue it? After immersing myself in the works of J. R. R. Tolkien for a while, fantasy draws me back, it is what I've always written, afterall? So what is this modern anime-inspired nonsense? Do I carry it on, or tell myself I'll come back to it, and add it to the ever-growing pile of aborted projects?
  This will take some thought. Not my strong point... Well, much love :) <3
