Motivation and Doing What You Want

Treasury Building

Here I was sitting on my computer typing, my itunes on shuffle when chapter 2 of Gala Darling’s book Love and Sequins came on. This chapter? Doing what you want when you want and how it helps you live life to the fullest and most of all just have fun while you’re doing it. Want to go sky diving? do it. Want to travel to Europe? Do it. If you can’t put up pictures of Europe and see what it does to you.

Alright I’m doing a horrible job of explaining it, I know, I know BUT what she says in it is true and something we all should do. It’s a bit steep price wise but it is definitely worth it. I only have the first two chapters at the moment thanks to Stardust though I do plan on purchasing the rest of them.

Oh, I know I need to do it more but I’m getting there. I’m in the process of saving money to go overseas, specifically to England and America as well as to Norfolk Island. I’m working jobs I want to work and while I’d prefer not to be at school I’m working to get out of there so I can focus more on what I want to do. I’m also starting to be more independent when it comes to a lot of things in my life.

All I can say is do what you want, have fun in life and stalk Gala Darling’s website as it is truly awesome (and so is her sense of fashion!

Help a girl out?

Hi all, I know I might not be the best blogger in the world but I love you guys and I would hate to see my website go under. Why? My host is unfortunately having a lot of problems when it comes to hosting and while I’m happy to help out, on a casual pay check I don’t know how much help I will be currently.

Therefore I have added a donation button to the side. If you can donate anything- even 5c it would be much appreciated! And as a present I’ll update the site more :p How’s that for a deal breaker? I have ideas I just need to post them!

That’s the button too for easy access!

Breaking Dawn

So last night, Stardust and two of our other friends went to see Breaking Dawn at the movies. None of us like the series as it is. We spent the entire movie laughing our heads off and commenting on it.

It was fun as.

Now I know people do truly like the series but we don’t, we essentially went along to heckle. Thankfully most if not all of the cinema were fine with that as far as I could tell.

The series touches on a lot of things that I don’t think it should in regards to young children and people in general truthfully.

Wild Card Series by George RR Martin

As I’m sure many of you have heard of A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin aka the Game of Thrones tv show which has been incredibly popular which brings me to the topic of this post.

As many of you know I’m a massive! bookworm and while I was in Of Science and Swords, a science-fiction/fantasy bookstore based here in Melbourne, I noticed a book by George RR Martin with what looked like a goat crossed with a human on the cover. Yes, it caught my attention, which would be the point of the cover, I am sure. From there they ordered in the first book for me (I’m still waiting for the second one months later) and I became addicted.

The bases of the series is that after the second world war, an alien virus was released on earth changing their DNA. Of those effected 9/10 of them died, the remaining one were split into Jokers or Aces – Jokers were deformed – animal tails, fur all over the body things like that, while Aces looked normal except they had some sort of super power. Jokers also had the ability to have a super power too.

It is an incredibly addictive series, which I recommend to you all.

So do you guys have a series you discovered by accident that you are completely addicted too?

National Novel Writing Month

Once again, it is November and what does that mean? It’s National Novel Writing Month aka NaNoWriMo. I can imagine many of you are going what on earth is that? Well the answer is simple. You have to write 50,000 words in one month of new fiction of some sort aka you can’t have 10,000 done and just add another 40,000 to it. Nope, 50,000 fresh words in one month. Insanity, I know right? It is actually incredibly popular though with thousands of people participating around the world.

50,000 words is surprisingly not that much and many people actually complete the challenge in the allotted time – some even within a few days. Did you know The Great Gatsby is only 50,000 words? That gives you an idea of how long the stories are. You only have to write 1,666 words a day to make it. Sounds easy? Well for some it is, I personally struggle with it but it is a lot of fun! It’s challenging, the atmosphere is great – their forums, an IRC chat, twitter etc. Everyone has the same goal and mind and will motivate other people. Especially through word wars where you have to write as much as you can in an allotted amount of time. They’re a lot of fun! Also there’s a lot of programs/websites such as ‘write or die’ that make you type or it will essentially ‘kill you’. That can be helpful too!

All in all it is a rather insane, but fun month and seriously, if you like writing I suggest giving it a shot! Not only is it fun but it is a wonderful growing experience and a fantastic way to improve your writing skills and who knows what will happen to your story. Some of them have gone a long way. Did you know Water for Elephants was originally written for NaNo one year? Imagine, that could be you one day!

Save our Public Libraries!


Eskimo Blue Boy @ Deviant Art

A lot of you might have guessed by now that I’m a massive reader and not only that but I have worked at my public library since the beginning of 2006 and despite a few small complaints I love it there.

Except that might be coming to an end.

Victorian State Government has decided to cut funding to public libraries by $5million over a four year period which could have serious impacts on our libraries including staff cuts, shorter opening hours, not many community events occurring etc. Therefore I would love it all if you could please please please sign the petition to help save our public libraries! http://bit.ly/qJcnVC for more info please see http://bit.ly/ojVLOB !!

Mistakes, The Future and Where to Now?


Winter by Stardust Butterflies

I sometimes wonder if starting a blog was a good idea. I manage to maintain my Insanejournal/Dreamwidth/Livejournal alright but I seem to be failing at this one. Except I don’t seem to want to give it up. So where do I go from now? That is a good question and one I admit that I’m still figuring out. Millie had a good point about the term blog and I think I do agree with her on that. Everyone has a blog and is so busy writing that no one reads – I know this is the case with me but I’m not even doing the writing bit to begin with! Perhaps I could do what Becky B is doing and just write about the day to day lives and thoughts on what is happening in Australia and the rest of the world but could that get a bit boring? Could I continue and do motivational posts? I could I suppose but at the same time even that gets a bit boring.

What I want? I want to keep this website going, keep myself interested in it which I haven’t been for some time which I think is a massive problem. To do that I think I need to do a variety of things with it. I’m going to archive my stories and graphics here and write my opinion pieces, my motivational pieces and just whatever comes to mind.

This is my space, my website and I’m going to make it that instead of aiming it at people. IF no one reads it so be it. I don’t care not like I used to!

Let’s see how this goes :D
