Forgiveness

Today I learned that I am a very angry person, and that anger is poisoning me. So I've set out to forgive each and every person I'm mad at. To finally let go of the pain and suffering that I am causing myself. So this is the introduction of the letter that I will send to each person. You people of the internet can read it first.

It might be a little weird to hear from me. Truth be told I feel weird writing this. I don't know how much you care, so I'll try to keep this bit brief. I've found myself on the dark side of life, I've followed fear to anger, anger to hate, and hate to suffering. The purpose of this message is to help me walk away from that path with one thing, forgiveness. You aren't the only one getting this message, I'm trying to send this to every person I can get a hold of that I need to forgive. You can choose not to read this, but if you read further know I will tell you why I'm mad at you. Just know that just by having a soul you have a reason to be forgiven.


"What you did that I need to forgive"


Thank you for taking the time to read this. I know I might have done things to you that were just as bad or worse then the things you did to me. I'm sorry. I hope for your own inner peace you may forgive me for the wrongs I did against you. Please do not feel obligated to respond to this, you can perceive this message as you will, but to me it is a physical affirmation of a mental healing process.

Wizards First Rule

I just finished Wizards First Rule by Terry Goodkind. How often is it that a novel makes you reflect on yourself and brings you to tears? This book did. I'm still an emotional wreck over last nights part. Mr. Goodkind is also making me feel like a novice and a terrible writer. I want to be able to write that damn effectively. I want to put that kind of power behind my words. I want people to look inside themselves, I want to inspire them to take their own magical journeys. And I feel completely lost at how to do that. I have this story, I have ideas. I just can't seem to find the right way to tell it. I don't know how to bring the characters to life. How to make them really fly off the page and into people's minds. I want to be able to tell them what I went through, what my friends went through, and what we did to combat it. I want to tell the dangers of acting the way we did, I want to show them the harm that it does. I want people to know that their actions effect others, even if they don't think about it. I want to write about the magic I so desperately cling to. I want to be a writer. I always have.

And so I go searching for tips on how to be a better writer...
