Writing is not just an activity it's a way of expression...be inspired Chidrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15347269725409131893noreply@blogger.comBlogger7125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554515078233410066.post-46916286867151459612018-07-27T07:21:00.002-07:002018-07-27T07:21:37.153-07:00Reality in writing<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 23.296px;">
The things you imagine, are real."<br /> ---Pablo Picasso.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 23.296px;">
In other words, there should be reality in what you imagine, at least from a writers perspective.<br />I came across the above quote from a family movie that I watched, and the main character in the movie, is someone who imagines a lot. He had a pretty wild imagination and even though his imaginations were kind of unrealistic, his imaginations were connected with his life, with the reality in his life. It was a really good movie, that got an emotion from me. And I just loved how it turned out and how that movie can have an effect on writers and also set as an example.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 23.296px;">
My point? It is true that fictions are merely formulated, they aren't real, they are just things that we found roaming in our heads, waiting to come out. But then again, fictions are gotten from true life events. They are things from our imaginations but they are things that have been experienced by a person, in real life. Sometimes what readers, editors, publishing companies are looking for, isn't just the entertainment that we get from your creative work but also, the reality in it. How realistic it is and how we can connect it to real life. How people can relate it to their daily life and help them in some situations. Yes, people do things they see in books. And that's much more of a reason for writers to write things that are realistic.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 23.296px;">
When I'm talking about realistic stories, I'm not saying fantasy, paranormal, vampires etc, doesn't count. They do actually but their actions, the characters, their way of thinking, mannerism and attitude they should all be something real, that we, the readers can relate to. Let's take my above movie as an example. It's, sometimes, unrealistic to see yourself as a cartoon or another person as a monster. Not imagining yourself but seeing, being. At least it hasn't happened to me. But, it was real enough to trigger an emotion, to make me cry. I mean the type of crying, when your throat hurts.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 23.296px;">
You see, anything that triggers an emotion is real. And what you imagine is real. Your stories or poems are your imagination, they are life and Life is reality. I think you can connect things from here.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 23.296px;">
Let me drop something here, something to help you in any creative writing you do. Remember, your work of art isn't you, they aren't living your life so as you aren't living theirs. The people in your creative work are in their own world, living their own lives. They don't know you, just as you don't know everyone on earth. To others, they aren't real but to those characters, they are real, simply because they have feelings of a living being. They eat, cry, sleep, laugh, grin, smile etc. Aren't these things real? And that's why the actions your character make can also define the action of someone else. Your stories just lay out human imaginations and actions just like movies.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 23.296px;">
So, fellow characters, to finish up, always remember there must always be a sense of reality in all your work of art. A good story is a story that strikes raw human emotion. That is why people actually fall in love with characters and think about them, that's why we stay up late at night reading a book. Because, no one will stay up reading a book they are totally disconnected from, at least for me. As a writer, you should realize that you can create a whole new world with your imagination through your mind and you can define the actions of a lot of people, the way you want it and the way you picture it.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 23.296px;">
In this post, with the help of a one line quote, my purpose is to make awareness on how reality, realistic character, and our view on reality and imaginations can have a great effect in a writer's career. Many writers out there try to give their characters some traits that they possess or rather some traits that they wish, they have and when they see they have done a great job in it, they feel they have accomplished something huge, because sometimes these characters represent who the writers are in real life and they are simply sharing who they are to the world. I'm working on my very first novel, and sometimes when I'm writing I get stuck, because I keep thinking in this situation, will someone do this? Will I do this? How will someone react when this happens? These are questions I keep asking myself each time I try to write and most times, I find myself not going anywhere. The reason is because, I've never found myself in these situations before, I have never experienced it, neither do I know anyone who it has happened to but I have my mind. And that is were I get all my characters and words from and sometimes, they seem different than normal but that is what i got and is left to me, to take those things from my head and put it in paper. Restructure it, so it seems like something that can happen to anybody at anytime, mold it, in a way I know it will fit my story. And that, my friends, is pure hardwork. </div>

<br />
I keep telling them that, so much that my head is already starting to hurt all because of it. They don't believe me, they all think I've gone insane. Everywhere I go, people keep giving me weird looks, like they're pitying me or something and I want nothing more than to scratch that look of their faces.<br />
But what can a girl being locked in this so called cage posed room - do. Nothing, absolutely nothing. They think am crazy and then they dropped me here thinking it's for the best but the truth is am going crazier and crazier as minutes pass. Am getting much more insane as days pass.<br />
I need to get out of here fast, as soon as possible or else I might just burst out of frustration. But there's no way out. Of course I've tried, but it always ends up the same, me dragged out by the nurses from the garden to my bed. I couldn't even get to the gate and now I can't get to the garden without having two nurses by my side. How sad. Now everyone watches me carefully like I am a freaking time bomb ready to explode at any time.<br />
<br />
But that isn't the most depressing thing since I came into this so called asylum, but no one has dared to visit me not since I started living here that is.<br />
Jan 1st, 2016. That's the day my life changed. That's the exact same day I was brought here ( more like dragged in here) and was told to calm down - several times but I couldn't. February passed then march came, unknowingly I found myself spending Thanksgiving alone then 2016 passed.<br />
<br />
January 1st 2018 came. I am here alone, wishing my self a Happy new year alone again. I've been waiting for the nurse to barge in and tell me there's someone waiting for me or I have a call. But I know when winter comes I'll still be waiting. They believe I've gone out of my mind, someone you should not come close to if you don't want your ponytail to be ripped out of your head just like the last time. Just thinking about it brings a smirk to my lips. Maybe that's why I'm here anyways.<br />
But I know one thing, I am not crazy<br />
But the truth is....<br />
I'm starting to doubt it.<br />
<br />
****<br />
HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is my first post of 2018. Hope you liked it. This is another scene like the last post, comment your thoughts. You can also tell me things you want to sees this 2017 just comment or email me.<br />

The name itself is enough to make your heart swell with interest and excitement. Christmas holds a lot of meaning to a lot of people. To me it holds love, hope and kindness. The color itself, Red and white signifies the words. So as the month December...<br />
When December hits. We take that opportunity to have a closure for that year, at least until Christmas. And we do we have this sense of relief. But it didn't feel like it this December....<br />
Neither did it, last year....<br />
<br />
I was blind. Stupid. Foolish, I agree to that. I couldn't see what was right in front of me even though it never left. When December came I didn't take the opportunity to have a closure instead I pushed it far away, that I can't even reach it.<br />
I ignored you far too much, made wrong decisions, took your smile for granted, forgot your birthdays not knowing what I was doing in the process. They said pay attention in small things not big accomplishment. What a shame because all I did was the<br />
Complete opposite.<br />
<br />
And now here I am walking in the harsh winter days with nothing but cold and dark nights. All alone in my room with no one to cuddle or hear sweet things from. The last time I saw you is still burned behind my mind. It was that night, that night that it all changed. That Christmas night.<br />
I've spent all my Christmas with you that I've forgotten how it is to spend it alone and now that I have a glimpse of it. It's terrible. I feel lonely. I wanted space and now I have it, I hate it. I wanted freedom and now that I have it, I just want to go back to December to change it all.<br />
But I can't and it hurts. This isn't Christmas neither will next year be if you're not there with me. You are everything Christmas signifies. You're the white and red and there is no Christmas without you.<br />
Maybe this is my fate, to be alone with fear crept in mind, wishing to go back to that December night to change everything. But I really hope your Christmas is nothing like mine. Cold and lonely<br />
It will be lovely and charm and you can do all the things you've always wanted to do in Christmas with someone. Someone who deserves you, someone that's not me.<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas my special Sommind and happy Holidays...<br />
<br />
****<br />
My little Christmas message for my readers.<br />
NOTE: Don't misunderstand this post. It's not directed to anyone. Obviously it's about Christmas and heartbreak and I also didn't suffer through it.<br />
This post is inspired by Taylor Swift's "Back to December" you could see I used part of the lyrics of the song. I hope you liked it and it didn't bore you. Try to connect with it or play any heart breaking songs " Back to December" will work perfectly that way you might enjoy it.<br />
<br />
Till next time guys.<br />

That's right guys it's been 10 years since the hit show highschool musical 2 and fans have been going crazy and am not an exception. So to celebrate and honour the show I am posting my top 3 best " highschool musical 2" songs.<br />
My number 3 best will be "bet on it" by troy. That song was great! Troy was so into the song with his dance moves and emotions and it just kept ringing in my head.<br />
My second best is " I don't dance" by Chad Stuart and Don Ryan. I love that song. The dance moves was so goood that I just find myself singing and dancing to the song. Like right am literally singing the song.<br />
Finally, my BEST is...(drums..) "What time is it!" That is another amazing song. I really love how the song began and everyone was chanting "summer summer summer" and they seriously can't wait to dash out of the door and when the bell goes off everyone was like poof! Like sometimes when it's during the last class of the school year or better yet the last maths class of the year don't you feel like chanting "summer" and running out, exactly! We all do.<br />
And this is why I love "Highschool musical 2". When you a hear a song from the movie you really want to dance!!!.<br />
Do you have a favorite highschool musical 2 song. Well don't forget to comment on your 3 best highschool musical 2 songs!!!<br />

Now, am not saying that women are men actually people should learn and see people equally and not someone being superior than the other and kids are going to get the wrong lesson in their head if they are not taught this. People actually think a woman can't be an architect or an engineer or a man can't be a nurse or a florist, seriously guys! get that thing out of your head. When it comes to the business world people actually think a man should be able to take over because they think he can handle the business well what they don't know Is that they are actually crushing a woman's self esteem. When you see a woman that's a doctor people will be like " Amazing, she's a woman and she's a doctor not a personal assists</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">" Or a man is a nurse it will be " He's a man and he's a nurse ha! Can't he find a job as a doctor or a computer engineer." People even go as far as choosing a career for their kids and not let them make their own choice. Wake up people! Because that's what we call Gender Discrimination</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">. I don't like to think there's a man's job or a woman's job because whatever you want to choose as a career, choose it, do it, work towards it and then you can show them what you can do. So guys don't let anyone tell you there's boys stuff or girls stuff because you can be who you want to be if you try...</span><br />

Hidden in the far end of Hiddenhills a small hometown, living in the dark and making sure their existence is not known but when they were discovered there was war. Thousands were killed humans, vampires, witches and every other supernatural. But a cure to clear existence was discovered and when it was used supernatural creatures were dead and never heard of. Since then it's believed that supernatural creatures do not exist but are all myths. There's nothing like supernatural and the world is a simple and small, world free of evil or that's what we thought...<br />
