I still can't think of anything to write specifically for my aunt. I have the odd spark but it's not enough. I can see at least two things wrong with my latest flash of an idea, a cyborg romance, I seriously doubt that my aunt has any interest in cyborgs and I am utterly crap at trying to write romance. My aunt's not quite like me. She's certainly not, and I doubt she's ever been, into a strange combination of Top Gear, Bottom, lots of anime and Doctor Who, with a personality that swings from one to the other when ever the mood takes it. I just can't stay on one thing long enough and I can't write quickly enough to beat my changes in preference. And when I force myself to continue a stalled story, when I'm not in that mood, it's just crap. WHY CAN'T I FOCUS LONG ENOUGH!!!!!!! It's not like I don't have time at the moment. I just can't seem to do it.
Anything to say?
I felt like watchign a film, a happy one, so I watched Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
Then I watched Appleseed because I just came across it and figured I'd see that it was about.

English lit. starts tomorrow. New teacher. Same room. I'm told that we'll be supplied with the text to study in class, there's less books to actually read this term (For en. lit. anyway) but more to read really because I'm starting Childhood and literature after easter. Haven't even started that yet. Better get on with it.

Bluebiird out.

    I love your blog because it's all consistently BLUE and that is awesome. I don't know what to tell you about your dilemma. Maybe all your unrelated ideas will come together one day and they will all gel and you can write something that you love. Best of luck to you on that.

    Well try this--a story of your attempt to honor your aunt with all the joy and frustration involved with honoring the sister of the woman who raised you to be the special niece that you are. Corny--of course. But the gesture will be worth it to her. I think I can be trusted on this. With me I'll take any attention from my guttersnipes I can get that wasn't pre-meditated and emotionally guilt tripped out of them. Hope this helps.
