So I guess the honeymoon is over. I just quit hug, dbsg, and (:X:X:X I LOVE YOU GUYS STILL) starcandy. I guess I knew the DBSK fandom stint was over when I was no longer affected by Changmin's hipwiggle T_T And since I'm not on LJ very much, all the clutter just prevents me from reading friends posts. So...that's that.
I think the worst thing about wandering from the DongBang fold (that looks terribly wrong 8D) is that I'm leaving a multiparter fic unfinished, which is just bad etiquette. I'm sorry, I'm horrible, I'm a toolbox. I had huge plans for that fic, too. Well. By huge plans, I mean sketched out scenes involving kissing, Changmin getting kicked out of the band, and that OC guy coming back. I don't remember his name. I AM A BAD FIC AUTHOR.
Anyway...;_;
NHACANHACANHACANHACA, plz to be seeing this post! I GOT YOUR CARD 8D and the. goods. 8D Dammit, why are you not online? Anyway, I have your belated Christmas card here ;_; I will send it when I find a present to accompany it :3< I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU T_T It will be...an early Easter present 8D
Sness!! :O:O I had a card for you too! But I never got to send it because I. left the card in Baltimore. OKAY I REALISE HOW STUPID THAT SOUNDS. But plz to be giving me an address, perhaps 8D
And now to go clean >.> |

So basically, I'm writing this retrospective for my class, Rudiments of Fiction II. And I've realised that I still don't know what voice is in fiction. It seems like such an easy question, but when the prof. asked us to submit a piece of writing where we think our narrative voice is strongest, I completely drew a blank on what to submit.
I've read through a ton of old writing--some of which is like. Wow. Okay. I'm glad I'm not there anymore 8D--but it's like...I seriously don't know what any of this crap is. Like, okay, I definitely don't have any confidence issues. I think I'm a pretty decent writer, I clearly have problems with plot, but nothing that can't be fixed by sitting down and thinking hard for a couple days or something. But does my writing have any voice? Is it all the same voice?
I think one of the problems is I don't commonly write in first person, so it's a bit trickier to get the voice in. Also, I'm really into the sort of distanced impersonal kind of writing. I don't like getting into the characters' heads, I like people to have to kind of guess from the description and actions going on in the narrative. I don't make any judgements or anything like that so...voice? Bueller? etc.
Anyway, I'm thinking of submitting the below (the assignment calls for one page), which is something I dug up from the archives. I think I just like it; it doesn't actually have a huge amount of voice, just the phrase 'kamikaze volleyball.' The properties say that I wrote this like. a year and a half ago, and never wrote anymore.
( 'Atlas' )
Yep, two paragraphs. Damn you, lack of voice! Maybe I'll write something new and attempt a first person. |

An excerpt from my sister's writing:
Star dusted lengths of sky shimered in the past day's haze of heat. A snow-white crescent moon emerged majestically, dipping its head into the horizon. The disk's halo of light threw silver-kissed droplets unto the sparkling waves of the Sanibar Sea, basking it in a milky mist. The sun's last dying rays of pale cerise slanted through the peraly clouds still clustered about the heavens, washing the whole skies in bands of soft yellow and azure.
As suddenly as it had broken the peaceful sunset, a crimson hull plowed through the waters, stirring the stagnant sea and trailing frothy foam in its wake. The Dasklin's tattered inky sails danced about in the fierce wind...
P.S. SHE'S TWELVE YEARS OLD.
Oh 'cerise.' Oh 'azure.' <3<3 much Frances luv. |

Uh, so I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I'm really in love with Poppin' Nam Hyun Joon. Seen here in the Hite commercial. Also here just being friggin awesome.
I don't know if it's so much attraction to Poppin' Nam Hyun Joon, though, as much as a deep vehement desire to be Poppin' Nam Hyun Joon. Find me a b-girl, plzkthx, and I will. I don't know. It's 6 in the morning and I've been watching people move in strange and unnaturally ways for about two hours now XD
I LEAVE YOU WITH ROXORLOOPS. |

I was reminiscing about the old days, and also procrastinating because peer review blows, and began pondering why I hated writing sems classes so much. Actually, I was just seething with hatred because this one kid sent out his story, and I know it's going to be crap. About high school.
STOP WRITING ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL. Unless you went to an inner city school where you had to hitch your bookbag up so your rattyass textbooks could hopefully slow down a bullet, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. Furthermore, STOP WRITING ABOUT BEING A GEEK. Being a geek is not that bad. Being a geek in high school is even more not bad. Also, there are fewer STDs.
Writing about high schools brings me to another pet peeve of mine: STOP ASKING US TO WRITE NONFICTION. If you're a senior lecturer or a TA or (god forbid) a professor and you assign students to write autobiographical sketches, you deserve a porcupine to be lit on fire and shoved up your nose. I'm sorry, what's that class called again? Fiction and Poetry? Rudiments of Fiction? Fiction? Fiction? Bueller?
Which reminds me of high school again, which reminds me that people should STOP WRITING ABOUT NEW YORK/PARIS/LONDON. No, you don't know anything about 'the Big Apple.' No, no one thinks you're classy because your character is drinking a double-shot espresso in Italy. No, no one thinks your Sex and the City references are 'witty' and 'in the know.' You're an asshole. Also, some of you are in sororities, which confuses me. The BoHo train does not stop by the Greek district, so I don't know what you just hopped on. Possibly a bandwagon or a toolbox.
Anyway, so I guess the conclusion is the same as the one kelseypaige and I drew yesterday, which is GO DO YOUR HOMEWORK. GO OUTSIDE. GO RIDE A BIKE. STOP WRITING.
No, really.
(: Have a nice day ttyl lol |

I'm taking Readings in Nonfiction right now, with one of the most competent teachers I've had at this school (not a huge feat in and of itself, but y'know). She printed out a sheet of first-line(s) from nonfiction essays, and this was one excerpt:
There was a woman who died while I was in Daffiama; she was young and eight months pregnant. I didn't go to the funeral, but those who did said you could see the baby circling around inside of her, like a hand moving under a sheet.
Um. WOW. Seriously, I'm so glad I switched back to writing; my writing professors this semester have been just. outstanding. And they're both WOMEN. I'm so impressed. I want to look up their work now, because I am Steadfastedly Convinced that it won't be a) purple, b) emo, c) shit, d) purple emo shit.
Edit: Also:
My English teacher's daughter was one year younger than me, but seduced me in that clever way Catholic girls have of making you think it was all your fault.

So. I have a Chinese presentation tomorrow. I was writing up my notes entirely in pinyin, but there is one problem.
I don't know pinyin. No, really. This is what my pinyin looks like:
Chang’E hen bu gaosheen, swoh-ee Yi qu zao (look for) yao gei tamen bien huay shen xian.
IT LOOKS LIKE SWAHILI, KTHX. I'm really amused right now, because it's also color-coded and has random paranthetical asides in case I squint at my pinyin in confusion and have to rely on my meager vocabulary.
Quake before my awesome language skills, native speakers and people who know pinyin. Yes. |

She worked in an abortion clinic. Sometimes, she said, abortions were frightful things. If it came down to it, she said, she wouldn't get one. That was the answer he feared most; he wanted her to say that even if the kid was mostly formed and had all its toes and tendons she'd still make it into monkey stew. |

Ag;sivfsbzndfb Ugh, writer's block is horrible. Been plagued by it for the past few weeks. Anywhere, here's the remnants of the Gay Love Ballad T_T The gay is barely noticeable, and the writing is subpar at best. I like the name though :3< It's the name of a New Year's celebration in Seattle. Anyway.
( Bright Night Providence )
Edit: And I just found a paragraph that I randomly wrote one day:
[He] memorized how long it takes the public toilet to flush: four and a half seconds, five if you're lucky. One of his coworkers wasn't lucky. When the flush finished, he was still on the tailend of a line.
Naturally, it's about cocaine. |

The latest Rudiments of Fiction prompt is to write a story of youth from a first person perspective? wherein someone else is punished. Kinky. Anyway, this week we're only supposed to submit an excerpt from the beginning and an excerpt from the middle.
What I have so far sounds freakishly like the beginning of a potential Gay Love Ballad. kelseypaige! I used Taylor's name! And then I couldn't remember if his bf4eva is named Andrew or Anthony T_T
( Gay Love Ballad, told by interloping misunderstanding young child, pt. 1 )
XD I totally cranked that out, like. just now. >.> It's probably because of this unfettered burst of creativity(?) that there is gay love?
