After so long

I know I've abandoned this for a while, but that is usualy what I do with my blogs, though I don't have the others online anymore to prove it.
I've been on vacation every since the beginning of December, and I did nothing especial with my time, besides trying my best to write some useful chapters of the curent story I'm working on (officially). My attempts at poetry lately have been quite crappy, so I'm mostly sticking with the poems I wrote a while ago, though they're not published yet.
I'm currently doing my best to finish Forgotten Paradise, thought I'm in no way rushing with the story (it didn't reach the middle yet, probably just a third of it). The main reason is that I have two new stories in mind, and I already begun to write them, but I won’t post them both at the same time, or else I know I’ll get crazy and the readers won’t have updates so often. Having to write more than one story and at the same time update them must be something frantic.
I also have a planned sequel to Wishing Dream, which I already started writing as well, but I’m not so sure about. Anyway, when it's finished I’ll post to see what people think of it.
About the poems, I posted a poem in Portuguese, just to realize that people don't usually read Portuguese fictions in FP (not even me, hehehehe). I’m not sure if I’ll continue to put my other poems (in English) in the same place or if I’ll separate them into individual publishing. Maybe the latter.
This is the last day of the year, a good year by the way. And it's so said to see that it passed by so quickly, and I didn't see most of it. Besides being a good year, it still didn't bring much change to my life, especially if I don't take into consideration the fact that I gathered enough courage to publish my trashy attempts at writing on the internet.
Well, enough rambling, I need to shower.

Gone

Finally, after a few day of struggling, I managed to get rid of my writer's block; yeah, I could finish the chapter I was so much dying to continue. And I should be celebrating, but I'm not. I'll though, when I finish this story; because that'll truly be a reason to celebrate, since I never finished a story in my whole life. I'm doing every single effort to keep on with the writing, but I know that sometimes I'll have to neglect it; times when I have to finish some college assignment and such.
Talking about stories, I updated Forgotten Paradise, chapter 24 (in my counting, in FP's 25) is up now. But I'm still a little late on the writing, I lost almost a week because of my block, and happen to be too lazy to do some proper work, but I'll not stop it, no matter what.
Anyway, the chapter is up, the story will continue to be written, and the other story I thought up will have to wait a little more; but, of course, I'll continue to post any one-shots I happen to come up with, and I already have one in mind.
So, nothing else to share for now, gotta go.

Randomness from college

Today, I should’ve stayed home! There’s nothing really interesting for me to do here anyway; besides losing my time, of course.

“Today’s gonna be the day

That they’re gonna throw it back to you

By know you should’ve somehow

Realized what you gotta do

I don’t believe that anybody

Feels the way I do about you now”


Randomness, that’s all I can manage to be! Nothing really important, but something really interesting can be done with this amount of free time, and one of the things I could do is write. Surely about nothing specific, but I can’t think anything else up to help me pass the time. So I’m just gonna be random.

Whatever… whatever

It’s always the same

Is that really sane?

I wonder why

But can’t understand

Someone should explain

I need to know

I have to know

But it’s always so far

It’s always so far…


Hum… not really meaningful, but I’m still trying to remember what it was supposed to mean; what can be a little difficult, ‘cause it was so random, that I’m most certainly sure it never had any meaning. Should I stop now? Probably not, it’s still 08:15 p.m. But since I’m running out of my random thoughts (like that could ever happen…) I’m pretty sure I need to go back to my studies of Portuguese's Syntax (who ever invented that?) and a bunch of exercises that should be already done. Yeah, like I’d really do that. Who needs to know syntax anyway? I most certainly don’t, so I’m just gonna waste a sheet of paper, ‘cause I can’t type those randomness in the computer lab (where’s the privacy in that? Lots of random people looking over my shoulder… yeah, I’m paranoid!). So wasting paper and pencil (that’s nor really a pencil, I just forgot what the name is, and-looks around- no dictionary close enough, still I happen to be in the library) with the nonsense that comes out of my mind. I should do this more often though.

Of course, Wonderwall was more than enough proof of my randomness, I don’t even like Oasis, so if I was to write something I like, that’d turn out to be random as well, it’d go like this:

“So keep on pretending

Our heaven’s worth the waiting

Keep on pretending

It’s all right

So keep on pretending

It will be the end of our craving

Keep on pretending

It’s all right”


As Ville said in one of the many versions: “when it’s not all right”. Hey, that happen to be not random at all, ‘cause that’s me, I feel like pretending all the time, and for some reason I can’t bring myself to be more natural and feel like I’m being me. 08:30, not that it really matters at all, but I have a class in less than half an hour, so I’ll stop my babbling and go to class… I wanna go home. Especially because I know that something is not gonna be right at this class today…

Block

Writers block. Yeah, it sucks! I’m stuck in a part of the story I really can't seem to get away from. I tried to think in a way to round this little situation, but all I get’s what will happen after. My muse’s playing tricks with me and my creativity’s hiding itself somewhere inside my mind. For now I’m just giving it a time, or else I’ll end up screwing everything up.The updates will continue though; every Thursday, unless I have some problem with my connection and such.
What can I say? It’s times like these that I wonder why I can’t write two stories at the same time; it would get me busy with one when the other didn't seem to work out. I tried, and it ended up with one of them being left behind; what I so don’t wanna do with Forgotten Paradise. That’s actually the first story I’m being so concentrated on; the others I just got bored and dropped, but this one I really like, and hope someone else likes it too; specially after it’s finished, because right now I know that some people do.
Well, nothing else to share; gotta go.

Reason to be

I'm really not sure why exactly I created this blog. But since it's already here, I'm goinna post some informations about my stories in FictionPress.
I'm not that talented writter, but I manage to like my own stories (actually not all of them, the ones I don't like no one gets to read); and the one in fictionpress is the one I'm curently working in, tough I've some ideas of a new story that I'll dedicate myself to as soon as I finish Forgotten Paradise. Speaking of wich, I'm still not so sure about the title, and I've no idea where it came from. But that's usually what happens to me.
So, chapter 22 of Forgotten Paradise will be posted on Thursday; tough I'm a little ahead on the writing, I can't overload you guys with the chapters, it won't give you time to get enough curious. But regarding the chapters, I really thought about posting two a week, spite of just one; of course I'm still thinking, 'cause I don't have that much time to write, and it'll get to a point when I won't have more chapters to post.
Nothing else to share for now.

The opening

Hum, it was kind of hard to create a blog here. Not exactly to create, but manage to think of something that wasn't being used already. I got astonished with the combinations I tried and that already exist. Just to give an example, 'strawberrymousse'. Let's not get into details about the strangest things I managed to come up with.
Back to what matters, I'm opening my new blog; the last two I lost when weblogger simply stopped working (actually the e-mail I used for those blogs was deactivated, so I probably didn't get the message warning about the locking up). I'm here thanks to a friend of mine who said: "tenta o blogger, agora ele é da google"*; one day I'll find her blog and link it.
As long as I have nothing very important to share, I'll stop here.

*in English it would go like: "try blogger, now it belongs to google".
