Yayz!
25 04 2007so, i emailed one of my internet friends today - my penpal - and it was good to hear from her. apparently i didn't miss much, forum-wise. i pretty much checked my email obsessively until we got back from a little drive we had and boom, she emailed me. she said she's going to wait until we get settled at the new house to send me a letter. at least i know she'll send something.
since the laptop is back home, and i've been craving some story-writing, i write down any parts of the story i wanted to put in the story itself in one of my notebooks. i sort of like writing by hand, but it's not the same as typing, and i don't have the best handwriting. i have capitalized letters in odd places (like, for example, my D's are always capitals. i tried to do normal ones but i can't) and it's sometimes hard to read. it has improved though. and the more i write, the more it changes. it's weird.
still, i miss the laptop. i keep thinking of things i could write and it's driving me crazy.
yeah, it’s weird writing. I always used to kick myself when things happened like laptops breaking or whatever, and me not being able to write. Although I knew I’d just wind up wasting my time doing something else. And I know what you mean by it changing all the time.
Handwriting gets better with practice. I preferred typing because it allowed for easier editing, but the key to creating a story (as opposed to just writing) is to just DO IT, and not worry about how much you suck, or how curvy your “L”s are.
