Nostalgia
Dug out some really old pieces of paper that I brought over from the old house and threw into my closet along with all my precious books. Heh. Read through them, feels really nostalgic.
Ahh, the age where I was obsessed with the name Alex cause of its meaning "brave warrior" or something to that effect. Where I wanted my male and female protaganists to be called Alex and Alexandra respectively, but was sorely disappointed cos I realised how lame it would be that all of the characters sounded like they had the same name. :p
If I remember correctly, that one was started waaaaay back in primary school. I still remember crying when I thought I'd lost all my files in that sorry excuse of a computer. XD The late nights, waking up at 2am when my parents were all asleep and couldn't bug me to sleep, and ears always pricked for teh slightest sound of my dad waking to go to the toilet. JUMP INTO BED AND PRETEND YOU'RE SLEEPING. Heh.
It's always been precious to me, even before I considered doing it seriously. In secondary school, there were the random stories and poems that I thought up and shared with my classmates, although I never finished the "novel" I was working on. If I remember correctly, it was a Gundam Seed fanfiction. VERY Mary-Sue OC. :P
Mary-Sue...Gary-Stu's, I insist those are necessary to a good fantasy story, and they actually are, but only if constructed the right way. Not all-powerful sues and stus, but human ones who have the strength to surpass obstacles. Or something. :P
All my RenOC ideas. :P Tsk. A wave of at least 10, only 5 of which made it to my ideas book, and only 1 written out so far. Back then, I thought, "So many ideas, so little time. i'll be 20 by the time I write them all."
MY DEDICATED HAO OC. Chapter in progress and untouched for 2 years or more. :/ HAHAHAH.
I think...I need to start making a serious effort soon. I'll never live through it if all I ever managed were half-assed attempts that flopped and if I gave up just because of those flops.
Manga partners, anyone? Like Bakuman! I got many many manga-type ideas that just would FAIL if only expressed through words. Haha. Or maybe not so many. But. It IS something I wanna do as well.
It all began when a little tomboy with an overactive imagination was born. There's no escape, my brain is always churning up crazy stories, whether I actually get around to writing them or not.
A tribute maybe. Maybe memories flooding from nostalgia which I just wanted to write out. This post turned out way longer than it should be. XD
Fly forth, guided by your heart ;
