That's great, Fred!
The reason I can't write for awhile is...eh...well, life has been a bit more screwed up than it usually is, and if I try to write it's going to come out utterly dark. There will be dark parts of my story, but I don't want to start writing it that way. Angsty poetry, yes, but not my story.

My writing goes hand in hand with my mood almost always. If I am in a happy mood, nothing too bad will happen, and if it does it won't be super sad. I noticed that this is also true with any other art I do say on mario paints for aexample. I was all depressed a while ago so I drew all these crazy depressed pictures like tendin gto go more towards the evil one ring and Sauron's eye than anything else and also there was this freaky thing about the agony at the end of the rainbow. Yeah looking back that kindof is scary. So yeah that's why I don't write when I'm bored because I have no ideas. Which sicks because what better vure for boredom than writing? I get writers block though when I am bored.

My mood affects my writing as I tend to write for comfort! If I've had a bad day I write something really happy for my characters because it cheers me up to see them happy. If I'm majorly sad I can't write anything bad in my stories because I just end up crying and smudging all my ink!!! Mx

Okay, now my English characters are refusing to cooperate with me! They are rebelling and they don't even exist, which is sad, is it not?
All right, I'm writing something where two of the main characters are supposed to be British. But, no matter how much I research the differences between British English and American English, the bloody fools won't stop sounding American!! Yes, yes, I admit it, I'M the bloody fool for not being able to make them talk correctly, I just wanted to vent a bit. Also, this is a fantasy story, and I don't personally know (er...in person) anyone who's British and interested in fantasy. |

In an absolutely filthy mood!!! Just had parents evening at school and my teachers said I had to get my head out of my fantasy world- you can imagine what I said back. This mood however has prompted a fantastic flow of creativity and I'm off in a mo to write some more of my book. Coming together nicely- especially now I have my stereotype for my evil empress!!! Mx

Thank you. I don't really need to talk face to face, all I'm trying to do is find someone who won't steal my ideas, since the person might need to know the storyline and such!

Easiest way to tell the difference between English and American English:
English just sounds better. Additionally: - Watch My Fair Lady - "Colour" not "color" - Learn the dialectic things like with cars (not applicable here, I guess), "boot" not "trunk"... "lift" not "elevator" - There actually are mini-"translation" dictionaries between the two - Read the proper versions of Harry Potter, not the American edits - Watch My Fair Lady again
