Shit.

I totally forgot. The whole reason for the Tomorrow When The War Began post was to jot down that it inspired me to write.

Instead, I bludgeoned you with a book recommendation, swore, and ranted like a 13 year old (version of myself) about wanting to be in a movie. Bahahah.

I watched the special features after the movie (pa-thetic. I'm obsessed again. Watch this space. I'll be reading them again in a matter of days), and John was talking about writing, likening it to a swimmer training for the Olympics.

I'm all 'I'd love to be a writer' but, I don't make the time to write. In fact, the IKEA desk I bought earlier this year? I sat at it to write for the first time yesterday. Yes. My desk has moonlighting as a makeshift WARDROBE (IKEA - so verstaile).
The shame. Wish I took a picture.
 
So, I'm watching John Marsden talk about writers needing to write every day, or we'll become shitty and flabby (not unlike an out of training Olympian). I march into my room, pull everything off my desk, violently deposit it on the floor and commandeer my sister's laptop (mine is so severely old, I need a new one badly if anyone's feeling generous).
 
And I wrote.
 
It's not the best thing I've written, and it's quite TWTWB inspired (haha), but I'm really happy with myself.
Normally I just write when an idea pops into my head; if I can be bothered turning on the light and reaching for my pen and paper (bastard nocturnal imagination).
 
But I sat down, and I just wrote.
 
I'm going to train more often. In different styles, different genres.
 
One day my story will find me.
   
 

I'll always have a bit of clutter, so I leave with this excuse (thanks Einstein).

Read em and weep.

I thought I was so original :) But I bet there's a million identical letters living in tearsoaked journals all over the world.

This is perfect. This is exactly what we're all feeling... wish I'd written it. haha.

Screen Junkies Goodbye Letter To Harry Potter

Wotcher Harry.
xox

Though It All Ends, It's Not Really Goodbye.

11 years ago my ten year old self stumbled across this book in my school library :)

I had no idea that it was the third in a series. I had even less idea of how big a part of my childhood it would become.

Tonight's the last time I'll see a Harry Potter movie for the first time ♥

Dude.

It's premiere day.

It's all over the news.

Heart-wrenching. Thrilling.

The end.

LAWD

IT'S REALLY HAPPENING

Yo! You Should Read This Shit!

 

The Hunger Games

Yeah yeah, I'm late to the party.

But if you've been under a rock with me, and you're not lucky like I am to have a librarian friend who shoves the best books down your throat, I will happily be that friend. Not that I'm a librarian.

Anyway, my friend gives me the creme de la creme. And this shit is some cool creme. I'm sitting at my desk itching to go to lunch to read more! So for now, no more on THG. Oh, just that I can only now appreciate fully that they're making it into a MOVIE!!!

Woody Harelson as Haymitch. YES. CANNOT WAIT. Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss. YEAH.

But Liam Hemsworth as Gale? ... naw, mannn.

I just don't dig.

But! I will hope to be pleasantly surprised. I did feel the same about Chris Hemworth (I think I saw an ugly pap photo of the brothers in a club brawl), and he blew me away in Thor. Sweet movie by the way, Thor. Check it!
