Down the Rabbit Hole

So, I've been having a hard time figuring out what to write about on here. I'm a bit stuck but I found a quote that I really like and wanted to share so here it is:    First of all, its C.S. Lewis. Who hasn't heard of him and/or his books? Second, I think this quote is so very true at least for me anyways. There are some writers who plot every scene out before writing and I commend them because I can't do that but even then those writers don't have a crystal clear image of what is going to happen in every sentence of the book. No, if someone knew that they would be... kind of genius. Most writers write to understand their book, what their trying to say. For me writing is so much easier than talking because I can revise and think before I say anything and there is always a message in whatever I write even if I don't see it.      Somehow I always manage to incorporate how I feel in my writing. If I've been in a rut or feeling depressed somehow the sto...

So, recently I have become frustrated with never being able to figure out what a certain piece of medieval clothing is called. I browse Pinterest more than I care to admit looking up clothing and characters but most of the time I can never find what the clothing is called. And so I created a list of all the pieces of medieval clothing that I know of. Here it is: Medieval Women's Clothing: Gown: A woman's dress or robe, especially one that is full length.   Bodice: A usually fitted vest or wide, lace-up girdle worn by women over a dress or blouse. Stomacher: A richly ornamented garment covering the stomach and chest worn by both sexes in the 15th and 16th centuries, and later worn under a bodice by women. Corset: A close fitted undergarment, stiffened with whalebone or similar material and often capable of being tightened by lacing. Overcoat: A coat worn over the ordinary indoor clothing, as in cold weather. Cloak: A loose outer garment, as a cape or co...

Just a week ago I went to go see Tomorrowland with my brothers and a friend. I had looked up reviews and seen that a lot of people didn't like it so I knew what I was getting myself into. I figured it would just be a fun movie full of cool CGI and some fun action parts. What I got was a bit disappointing. Now I love flashbacks and backstory.  It's one of my favorite things to read and watch because to see a characters backstory is to see into their most private thoughts and memories. Anyways, the movie started out with a very large flashback of Frank's journey to Tomorrowland when he was a kid. So mostly the beginning and the middle was solid, fun, (a little too violent), but over all enjoyable. The ending though... was a huge let down. As writers we all know that there needs to be a great, satisfying ending that will leave our readers sighing and wanting more. Tomorrowland... did not have that ending. I won't say anymore because I don't want to spoil it for ...

I'm back! The last few weeks I've been busy with essays and classes and studying for an exam but now I'm finished and will be getting back into the habit of posting every week again. I'm very excited to share with you the new concept of longhand creative writing. I have recently come across this new idea that I haven't ever taken a serious consideration to. Writing your first draft longhand. That concept made me excited because of the fact that I decided to start messing around and writing in a notebook a story that came to me. I've found that writing longhand is fun and enjoyable and I've had more success on this book than any other I've written in months. Now yes you may have to then have to type it all out but that's where editing comes in. I feel so much more free when I write on a piece paper. Like I don't have to limit myself to anything in particular.  I was introduced to this idea in a subtle way a while back when I watched t...

Sorry this is a day late! I was supposed to put this up Monday but I was so busy with an essay I didn't manage it. My posts will become more consistent again starting this week because I finally have my essay and Annotated Bibliography done. Enjoys I hope you like this post. :):):) Every person on this planet that accepts the Lord with all their heart and is a true follower of Him is a soldier. We battle the world daily. Some might be battling peer pressure at school. Having to look just like all the other girls even when those girls are immodest. Or some might be in danger parts of the world professing God's name. Those are all important and crucial. But the truth is everyone has personal battles to face. Some might be visible and others aren't.   God gives His hardest battles to his toughest soldiers. He will give you nothing that you can't handle. God knows you inside and out and trust me I know that there will be those hard times where you want to surrende...

Two Sunday's ago our Sunday school split into groups and each group wrote a short devotional about a particular verse. I would like to share my groups: Scripture: Mark 3:13-21, 31-35   In this scripture, the verses talk about your spiritual family versus your physical family. Verse 35 says, "For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother." This points out that if you have been accepted the Lord as your savior, you are one of his brothers or sisters! Even though you have a family here on earth, they may not always be there, in ministry, for you. Whether or not you are part of a Christian family, your earthly family can get in the way of your spiritual relationship with God. Your spiritual family goes away beyond your physical family.    Biological family is important to most everyone. Family encourages you and is with you all the time. Your family knows you better than anyone. However, have you ever thought of your spiritual family? The ...

A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build up, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, Ecclesiastes 3:2-4 Now this is a little long but so worth sharing. I've been having a pretty bad week filled with anxiety and panic and yesterday I broke down. My dad looked up a few of these verses and was telling me that there is a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to break down and a time to build back up.  God knows that He gave us these emotions and He understands that there will be times when we just need to break down and cry. There will be a time to mourn and a time to have a mental breakdown. But then He gives us a time to laugh, a time to dance and have fun, a time to build up others and yourself. In those moments when your over flowing with laughter, when your with your best friends and on top of the world remember ...
