I've decided to start writing a book. But, Lauren, how can you do this with no skills or them communications and grammar, with sometimes being sentences not make sense? I hear you ask.
Well I've solved the problem of voice by simply deciding to use only my own. I haven't really learnt how to construct a character properly, so I'll just write a first person narrative and imagine myself in different hypothetical situations. I actually came up with an idea yesterday, and I really should just go with it. I think my idea will give it enough structure to make it seem like there's a plot and I'm not bothered by language, because the whole idea is that its language practice.
umm... that's all I really had to say today. I really do need this writing practice, I read my last post back just now and it was so poorly constructed. But the more I write the better I'll get.
Let's chuck some diary entry in here as well, for the hell of it. I've decided to hang out with the hippies again. I made a new friend a few weeks back, first one in ages, and now I'ma be part of the spinners community. I don't have talents or skills, but I am pretty easily impressed, so I add something to the group, even if it is only clapping with delight at the others talents. I went to an event called 'Happy Thursday' tonight. It was kind of like walking into a circus. Or at least a park where circus performers hang out, actually that is exactly what it was. There were jugglers and poi spinners, an old friend of mine was there with stilts, and someone with a diablo and there was even a girl who brought a slack line. And they just hang out and play with all the toys. It's a pretty awesome way to spend your time and I'm kind of inspired to learn something. I like the hippy lifestyle but I wouldn't want to spend all my time being a hippy. I like working hard too much, plus earning and saving money is high up there in my priorities. I can part time hippy, part time student, part time writer, part time McDonald's worker and eventually when I've saved enough money, full time traveller!
I also have been addicted to Sims recently. I get stuck playing for hours til my energy bar is nearly empty, I've been waving at the sky for ages, with a picture of a bed as my only thought bubble, and still no-one presses the bed button.
