I've calmed down somewhat from my last post, to the relief of all four people that read this. I've come across a blog by a new author called Elizabeth Eulberg, it's really helpful for other new authors and gives answers to questions that only a green author would want to know. Little bit of background - Elizabeth was Stephenie 'Twilight' Meyer's publicist and now she too wants to take over the world with her own YA fiction (that makes her sound like some Stalin type mad women). Anyone that is interested in writing a novel, I would recommend her blog just to get an insider's view of what it takes and the process. My novel is going great, I'm on chapter 10 and can't stop writing! My characters are really coming to life and I'm starting to say, "no he/she wouldn't do that." Hopefully I'll have it finished over the summer, but I think the editing process may drag its completion into the winter. I've been listening to Fall Out Boy a lot recently, yes I know, shit, shock horror that I'm listening to something other than Alex and the boys but I felt like a darker twist. I'd really forgotten how brilliant FOB's melodies are, Patrick Stump's voice wonderfully accompanies everything they do! Pete Wentz's lyrics have also surprised me somewhat, because of their dark, suicidal nature and thanks to wikipedia I learnt that he was greatly depressed during the 'From under the cook screw' period, so it's made lyrics such as "living is a wasted death" that much more chilling! Anyways chapter 11 is calling me so until next time stay safe.

Ps. check out Stan Lee's twitter, he is an amazingly random person... It's quite surreal!

The ugly side of religion decided to show its face again, choosing the easter break as its backdrop. Too many people are racist/sexist/bigots/douches who defend their warped views by saying it's part of their religion or culture. Since when did that make it right? I have not got the time nor the patience to digress into the events of the past few days but I will say this, it is 2010 and we need to stop the segregation! I feel people of this world just want to be different, they want to have something that they can call their own! There is nothing wrong with that, but being different should not come at the price of belittling those that aren't born on the same day as you or whatever pathetic rule you decide to hide behind. If the human race wants to place such importance in different race, religion, sex etc... then it can, because that has worked so well over the years! I'm not going to live my life being a colour, we're all human but thanks to "religion/culture" that's not enough. It's a real shame really because what does it matter if you're black or white?
