The Sound and the Fury
Started reading some William Faulkner. It's great so far.
It would be wise if you, who is reading this, read some Faulkner.
I also need to start reading The Stand, by Stephen King, again. That book rules too.
I'm reading The Sound and the Fury right now. Although the way it's written is undeniably hard to follow, I still absolutely love the way it's written. I'll definitely be reading this over, and over, and over again just so I can get what's happening straight.
It inspired me to write something in a new way. The story I wrote, about 1,800-ish words, ended up being about Daniel Samms again.
I might post it here, if I can get it here (my floppy drive is broken at home), but otherwise, I don't have it.
I've been thinking about leaving the internet lately as well. Soon I will be getting a job, and so I need to put school and a job in the forefront of my mind, not the internet.
Also, I don't think what I've written in here, all these times, speaks well for who I am. People like Alex seem to think I'm some deeply depressed individual, when I'm not. I'm actually pretty lighthearted; those posts were just me writing away my thoughts, they were me speaking to myself and escaping by the amazing thing I've found called writing. They were more personal than anything. They weren't meant to make people form opinions of me.
I mean, this is the internet, after all. I don't see why someone would totally believe someone is something online as much as they are off it. And while the feelings there I write are real, it's not how I am all the time.
Lately I have been fine. I've been great. I feel I'm over whatever had me under the weather, and I feel I will get a job and I will go to school, and hopefully, someday, I will become a meaningful writer to some people--perhaps just those I love, and that is enough.
It's not about the money. Writing has, and never will be, about the money.
