Wikipedia wrote:... was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominently the stream of consciousness technique he perfected.


I feel so cool :3 Must go read some of his work and see if we do indeed have a similar style. I'm gonna put another story in and see if I get another result, since I change my writing style depending on what I'm doing.


A famous Irish person? Oh wow xD

Yeah, I hate writers block. Go read the newest Pep Talk! It was so funny!
"I'm guessing that, at least sometimes, when you sit down to your computer or notebook, staring at that blank page can make you feel as goofy, empty-headed, and all-wrong as when you're staring at someone you have a wicked crush on. You want so badly to be smooth. You want to wow and impress without seeming like you're trying too hard. You want everything to flow out of you perfectly. Maybe the fear that you won't be perfect might stop you before you even start!"

Its so true. I had never even thought of it that way, but thats exactly how I feel. Its like... blank page. I feel so stupid when I look at that page, just like I do when I'm looking at my crush. I never made that connection before XD

I am so weird when writing. >.< I go for days doing a ton of writing, and then I don't do anything for a few days, and then I do a ton again. It's ridiculous. XD

@Alice
After writing nearly 4,000 to catch up yesterday, I dread the day I get behind again. I'm determined to stay caught up no matter how many hours I work.

Bad thing; I am so increadibly behind it's not even funny. I have to write 4k everyday until the end of november to be caught up.
Good thing; Well at least I can say I'm part of The Knight of NaNoWriMo now. (Who? The group of people who are/were oh so fricken behind and make one last final charge to win.)

I can do this!

-
Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark
Emerging from the gentle grip of night's unfolding arms
Darkness, darkness everywhere, do you feel all alone?
The subtle grace of gravity, the heavy weight of stone

-----------------
you are the moon
-----------------
You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear
It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier
All the light that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas
The shattered surface, so imperfect, is all that you believe

I apparently write like Ian Fleming. I've never even heard of him before so I don't know if that's good or not.
As for favourite authors, I like J. K. Rowling, Naomi Novik, Jonathan Stroud and Garth Nix.

GAH! I keep taking bits and pieces of my fanfictions and it keeps saying I write like Stephen King! I don't even like the dude's books!

And J. D. Salinger...
