TEOGROMITMM

Yeah the title wouldn't fit so I decided to shorten it. Its The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds. Its a book I read a number of years ago by Paul Zindel. Anyways I was thinking of it. Zindel has a way of writing these books that sort of bring out these really vulnerable youths. I liked how this sort of was his biography portrayed from the female perspective. It really made me think about the book I have been writing. Sometimes I feel as if my stories are sort of written in a way of poetic servitude. I don't feel as if I should write with such a couth manner. Just write in a way that people can relate to. Like oh yeah I feel that way, I want to throw a rock threw someones window cause it would be funny. Some people feel that way. I have always admired certain things that people do in such a carefree way.

If its one thing I can think of its my writing. Its very hard to be a good writer and have your own style. Back since high school my teachers (and in college professors) have always compared my work to that of William Faulkner. I really feel my roots are more in the writers like Kate Chopin, Mark Twain and Langston Hughes. There are a bunch of others I could name. Definitely I would not be anything like F Scott Fitzgerald. He was just one of those good writers who sort of loved mainstream hollywood and the happening lifestyles of his day. If I could think in terms of any material it would be canvas. That may not make so much sense to you but to me it does. No need to break it down, its just sort of the way I feel. Anyways my book is about 20% finished. Its called Forget Tomorrow and its about 3 youngsters who find themselves in a little town with some history which is now a little hickville. Basically they experience the boredom and become very sarcastic and humorous persons. I love the way I can relate to all of them. Sometimes I picture the characters I create as something I wish I could be. I think thats what makes me love writing. I may not be able to do certain things in life that I want to do like fly an Airbus A380...but I can at least create someone in my writing who can.

Anyways I am leaving work in 15 minutes and will find myself enjoying a well deserved 2 days off. Just want to say goodbye and hope everyone here has a good couple of days.
