It isn’t that I have writers block, I have plenty of ideas and I know what I want to say. I know who my characters are and I know the situation I have placed them in.
My problem is that I find myself re-writing the same damn paragraph about a hundred times. I have been sitting here for the last hour and I have a grand total of 182 words to show for it. I also have three pages of notes and two scenes written but those are rough drafts so they don’t count.
As a student I have to write 'on demand' so to speak and sometimes although I know exactly what it is I want to say the words dont happen. What I do then is write - write anything at all connected with the subject then leave the writing for a bit while I go do something totally different. You see, the brain works away in the background while you're busy doing something else and before you know it, you've got a flow of words ready to be put onto paper.
You're trying to be too much of a perfectionist and over thinking the scene or situation. Try just going with what you have written and see where it takes you.
I guess it all boils down to whether the first bit of writing is better than the last or vice versa, then go with that :)

I was just looking back through some of the old comments left on database items and I came across this entry. If you look at the first few pages of the comments left, most people have something to say about it. If you look at the last few pages it is nothing but "10" and stamps.
Pretty good metaphor for the difference between old members and new members.
You know, I have to agree with the fact this site has more people concerned with leveling than they do about what is actually submitted into the Database now, compared to 5 years ago. I read through it, but I don't always comment. I should probably do that more. :)
Haven't had to have this sort of conversation in a while. I kind of missed it.

Troll on your own time, don't waste mine.
If you are here to harass other members you will be suspended.
I am not interested in excuses, just avoid meaningless confrontations with other members. That being said the same rules apply to everyone else on the website, if you have a problem with someone else and you feel action needs to be taken just message an admin, don't take matters into your own hands.

The only reason I block people is for obnoxious stamps, and once those are clear of my profile/portfolio I unblock the person. As an admin I think I need to be accessible to all members, even the asshats.
All it takes for my hatred of this actor to flare up is to see an advert for a movie he is releasing soon.
Burp.

I was watching that “IRON CHEF AMERICA!!!!!!!! (FUCK YEAH)” show and it was all very intense and professional, that is until it got to the judging.
You would imagine that a show that is trying to boast a top notch cooking environment would get themselves some top notch haute cuisine judges. Not so.
In this episode it was “IRON CHEF AMERICA!!!!!!!(FUCK YEAH) Battle Pork Fat”. For anyone not familiar with the show or the concept of the show, two chefs cook several courses themed around a special ingredient (in this case pork fat) and they are judged by a panel and someone is announced the winner.
Now, back to my main point in this entry. The dishes were very well thought out, excellently prepared and professionally presented.
Judging these two professional chefs was a guy who was an expert on organic meats, a public relations liaison and a country music singer.
Are you serious, who the hell are 2 out of 3 of these people to judge foods?
P.s. Also, the presenter was a rubber faced smarmy freak.
P.p.s the entire show has this really cheesy faux Japanese theme on top of everything.
She has gonads, I ( or, we) have balls! And yes, I agree with the retard statement.
The Black Swan
14:56 Feb 06 2011 Times Read: 1,248
Myself and Flan went to go see The Black Swan yesterday and on the whole I would say it is a really good movie.
It isn't a popcorn movie and it isn't a horror movie. It seemed that a lot of people who were at the showing expected a cliché Hollywood roller coaster as many of them did not seem prepared for a slow, progressive story with detailed character studies and very little in the way of "action".
In fact at the end of the movie the group of stupid teenage girls turned to each other and said verbatim ”Next time we are going to go see tangled.”
I've been looking forward to seeing that movie hah where I live though, the blasted cinema shows movies decades after they come out. Anyway, will see it at some point.
My largest beef with the movie industry has been for a long time that it lacked anything that required the use of imagination or brains- they are more interested in spoon feeding everything to people from start to finish. And unfortunately, these days, that's what a lot of people not only expect, but demand. Thank heavens I am taking a friend to see this on Tuesday.
I was thoroughly entranced- Diane and I were both in tears by the end, and it was a great movie to watch- SO glad I decided to go for this one- it renews my faith (to a small degree) in the movie industry- too bad there aren't more like this out there-
I got a stamp but I don't message, unless messaged me first... I admit I admit bad bad bad me.... I do ask to be message if someone choose to add etch... me... bad bad bad me... -goes sit in the corner with pop corn and ice cream-
Any statement vague enough can make you seem special.

Have you ever done something for reasons unknown to yourself only to find it was the perfect thing to do at that point in time?
However, this time it is oddly accurate.
I was standing in the Kitchen, chopping scallions, grating cheese and preheating the oven to make myself a toasted cheese sammich. Suddenly and for no reason I got a strong urge to go open the front door. So I went outside and opened the door and turned to walk back into the house. As I turned to go depart a guy came in through the door I had just opened and said “Thanks, I’ll just be a second” He then proceeded to grab a ladder, read off some meters and was on his way.
Now our house is situated in an alley way which is accessed from only one doorway that opens onto another alley. It is humanly impossible to hear anything happening at the main door let alone hear someone approaching.
