Some wise guy once said that writers weave world that nobody else can. He then proceeded to tell a story that was about as conventional as conventional can be. He made a million bucks anyways, because he stuck the story in space. Now he probably swims in caviar while the rest of us suckers bust our butts trying to make do.
But consider where that broseph came from; a time of sci-fi and war and hero's journeys. He only wrote what he saw around him. And from that, we got classics such as Darth Vader! Han Solo! Yoda!
So maybe I made the quote up, but the tip still stands.
Take this blog, for example! While everyone was sweating in Writer's craft about writing their ongoing piece for their ISU, i decided to ask if it would be cool if I wrote a blog. And Mr. Reading said it would be no problem, as long as I kept it up daily. Thanks, man! ;P
Which takes us back to tip one. (Tip 1...?) When in doubt, you calm down. Take a minute and figure out what's going on.
Tip one can apply in almost any situation. Since I have no idea where to really take this, then I'll just write an introduction to who I am! See, my name is Terry, and I like to make lists. I get along well with my parents. I have a job (more about that later) and I have a few good friends and I'm looking forward to senior year. I also do fairly well in school, which is why I think there's nobody else that's more qualified to shout at the internet how to do stuff!
That's all I can really offer for now, though. I guess I'll make another entry when I get home.
(I want my completion mark for today, Mr. Reading. I sure as heck earned it!)
Thanks for reading, if anyone's there,
Terry Brooks, BAMF
