Words

"Outside the window, a tree branch blew in the wind. The breeze swayed through the tree and out onto the street, dragging along a smashed up Chinese takeout box with it. I didn’t know what it was about this guy, but I could not look him in the eyes. His eyes were too undisturbed by the words that came from his mouth."

This is a little bit of my story. I think for the sake of wanting people to still think I am sane, I am going to keep the plot of my story on the down low. But I am going to post a few quotes here and there to show you that I am indeed still writing a story. 

So in my last post I talked a lot about what this project consisted of but now I want to talk a little bit about why I actually decided to write for my project (because we all know I do enough writing as an eleventh grader). For me, writing is more than just words on a piece of paper. It is a way to get your thoughts across to people without the fluster of speaking. You can erase or backspace words to fit your own thoughts perfectly. To me, writing is what I would want to spend the rest of my life doing, if I could.

For my English class, we also have to pick out a book to read. It is supposed to be related somewhat to our 20 Time Project, but as I am writing a book, I figured reading any book in general would give me tips on great writing. I am reading a book called Blood of My Blood by Barry Lyga. It is the third book in the I Hunt Killers series and so far it is an amazing book. The first and second books in this series are some of my greatest inspirations. You could probably find quite a few similarities between what I am writing about and what Barry Lyga wrote about. I suggest this book to anyone who has eyes and can read. 

I also want to thank anyone who is taking time to read my blog. It means so much to get comments from people and I would love to hear from everyone who reads this.

Until next time.
