...Chasing Cars."

The song's been having a big effect on me as of late... ^_^;

Anyway, I think I've found my niche, and here it is: writing. I'll admit it outright - Dawid has inspired me to write again. Of all the people I've ever known (with the acception of Linds... she's really the only person I've actually shared work with xD;) no one has ever inspired me as much as he. So I guess I'll do my 'thang and just ramble on about it.

Never, in my entire life of writing, have I ever written so much within a two-week span (maybe longer.) No one has ever been interested in my work as much as he, no one has ever helped me and thrown ideas around, critique, read to me, appreciate, or praise my work as much as he has. I don't know if it's just me, but to have one person do the outstanding things he has done for me to refresh my love of writing, it has a big impact on my life. I've found my new love for it, and want to go far with it. It makes me want to push my work out there... ^_^; He's made me give more self for my work

My other inspiration is Gena Showalter. I am literally in LOVE with her work. I want to collect all her novels, they're so good!! I just finished reading one of the books in one of the many series she has, and I just... I just want to read more. x__x She's also opened my eyes to the fact that romance novels don't have to have some big, beefy guy with ripped abs and long blonde hair. It can have action, science-fiction, horror, fantasy... I am just so amazed by her work, she's one of my idols and I DREAM of writing like her... She has such a way with words and with character design, that it's unbelievable...

So, yeah.

I've basically refound my love of writing, that of which that I am highly proud of and excited for. ^_^;

I have also been reinspired to drawl some more again (for how long, I don't know... xD; Just got out of my art block.) This passed weekend I met up with a friend from deviantART and we had a blast with an art jam over at Downtown Disney (which we realized was insanely crowded and decided to next time choose a better place to jam... xDD;) After that, we ate some din din over at a Japanese restaraunt (I luuuuuuuuuurve udon!!!!! o3o!!!!) and after that, I headed home. It was so nice jamming with people of my artistic level... I felt "accepted", if you will. xD; I didn't have to worry about having to compete with anybody or feel intimidated. We were all just a bunch of artists, hanging out, drawling (though, I AM jealous of a couple of them who can color... which I fail hard at!!) GAH, I hope to do it again soon. o3o!! *Has too much free time on hands...* Rofl.
