You know your a writer when you have killed more pens than characters in your stories.
-The Music Man

I was in the cafeteria of my college mall, eating a calzone. A nice girl who's name was Nancy (I'm not sure if this is right because I am horrible with names) came up and started talking to me. We had a quaint conversation about food, dieting, and how we both enjoyed the TV show "Man vs. Food". But all the while, something inside of me wanted me to chase her off.

In my last blog post, I wrote a little poem about the importance of knowing why you write.

To follow my own teaching, I have added my why to my bio. Enjoy!

Always Sincerely,

The Music Man

I want to be famous
stop, end, dead

I love to tell stories
I study hard, I write everyday, I think every second
Will I be famous?

Doesn't matter, I love to write.

I want to bring up the issue of media (no, not the news). Throughout my life I have found that a good story can be conveyed by any type of medium (no, not a palm reader).

I think it is snobbish and rude for any pony to say that books are the only wholesome sorce of entertainment. I believe that TV, movies, video games, graphic novels, newspapers, magazines, blogs, You-Tube videos, and any other media can provide examples of good story telling.

My favorite stories:
Half Life (Video Game)

When I say 'melodrama', I mean any passage in a story that is full of rich details, that flow with emotions, and, of course, that are jam packed with words.

This morning, I awoke with grand thoughts about one of the characters I thought about. My mind flooded with his actions and philosophies, the twists and turns he would add, and how he would rule all. But as quickly as these imaginings of my heart came, they vanished, leaving my mind desolate of thought.

Seeing where I stand on the sight, these blogs were more notes to myself, if anything. So, I will title them appropriately. Now, my blog.

She swung her stick. The beast flicked it away.

Ow. That was painful to type. No, that was horrible. That was an atrocity. That was so bad, I need to slap myself in the face for defiling such an innocent idea. *WHAP*
