Finally a Post

Well now this blog has been sitting here far to long with nothing new posted. I have of course been doing my writing, just not here in cyberspace. I've been so busy with other things that I have not even bothered to look at any of my blogs. I have been spending quite abit of my time on my art as well as my writing.
I now have two accounts at Deviant Art: http://www.tinka-rothchild.deviantart.com & http://www.star-angel-art.deviantart.com The site supports writers as well as illustrators so I will be posting some of my stories there.

I don't really have anything else I wish to share for today, so I shall post again tomorrow ^^

Free Writing

I've began doing some exercises in Free writing. The teacher in the course I am doing at the moment has as doing a sorts of writing exercises to get us into the habit of writing often and not second guessing ourselves by editing our ideas before they even go anywhere.

Here is a sample of some writing I did:

Well I have just been talking to Peter about Phoebe and Ungol and their interesting match. I can’t pin point the moment that they came to mind as working but it just seems to fit. Interesting I’m not sure where my mind is wandering to now.. I am thinking of Pete resting lying… I’m not sure; he is maybe sitting on our futon. Well actually we have two futons and I always tend to think of the other one as the ‘Asian’ futon because of the pattern it has on it, funny that futon itself is an Asian word. Ouch.. leg getting sore from the way I am sitting.. should have made myself more comfortable before I started to type. *sigh* running out of ideas.. not that that’s possible really… hmm kids are still asleep which is good. Knowing my luck Riven will wake up just as I am wanting to sleep. Which I guess serves me right for staying up too late. Itchy knee. Lots to do tomorrow.. with the kids mostly.



It was fun writing this and really got my ideas flowing so I think I'll try this at the beginning of all my writing sessions.

Don't Dream It... Be It!

Too many people I talk too (mostly family and friends) talk about there ‘ifs, buts, & maybes’; all the things they wish they did or could do. I’ve noticed something that is the same for all of these people:

1. They aren’t doing anything to change their situation

2. They make excuses (ie. blame it on others or on circumsances) why they are not doing anything.

It be honest I am guilty of the same. My biggest excuse has always been to blame my Father for making me feel like an idiot. But truth is we need to rise above what others say about us and work to become what we want one day at a time.

You don’t become an expert in your field of interest over night, it takes hard work and time. That might seem abit tuff but if you are passionate about what you want to do you’ll love the journey it takes you on.
