Right Writing -- awkward wording.

Points to think about:
1. Why is writing such a hard thing to do?
2. Why is reading boring or uncool?
3. Is a nerd still a nerd after he or she becomes successful? (Good day, Mr. Bill Gates)
4. Tell me honestly, what inspires you? (Or don't tell me, you and I don't know each other--I'm just saying...)
5. If you're done reading this, will you let others read it too? (That's a trick question...)

Writing.
As some of you may know. I despise writing. I like thinking, though. I like the idea of having an idea--all the time. I like reading too. It's fun knowing how others think. If it's boring, then maybe it's better to keep the thoughts for other people to read. Writing is something that I do not want to do. Am I a hypocrite?

(Well, yeah... it kinda looks that way.)

Wait, wait. Let me explain...
See, I like writing when ideas are already 'ready to harvest'. Most of the time, I just like reading about or thinking more about it rather than writing it. It's just so tiring to write about it, right? Think about it. When you write, you have to think about the punctuation marks, the grammar, the spelling, the ideas (is it really yours? Or do you have to credit people on it?). Writing--has a whole course about it. People actually major on this stuff (actually I'm not sure if there's such a major called-- Bachelor in Arts major in Writing, but it's kinda like an expression, so let's just move on...) This entry isn't really about criticizing 'writing'... it's about encouraging people to gather ideas and possibly spreading it.

Gathering ideas is about reading, right? Or watching some movie or show. I kinda like reading more. I don't know why. Aside from it doesn't have commercials (there's a DVD for animation), and you can, like, read parts again or skip parts (there's a 'rewind' and 'forward' for animation). Okay, so maybe you wouldn't skip a word or two from what people are saying, and you could even see the right spellings for names and such because it's written on paper... (there's subtitles for animation). Okay, shut up, sentences in parentheses, you are not helping at all.

I have read a lot of books in my lifetime. Mostly fiction, though--for entertainment. I actually laughed out loud to some, and cried to most of them some. Recently, I tried to read some nonfiction, and historical literature that, what I think, are fun and entertaining. After a few books, I feel that I became smarter than I was (yeah right, like .02% smarter). Anyhoot, I read, and I think reading is great. It's like living a different life vicariously from time to time. It's better than acting (sometimes).

I think that great writers are the best readers. How would they know what to write by just relying on experience? Even Robert Ong reads. He knows a lot, and I mean A LOT. His books are hilarious and sometimes ridiculous, but not only does he write from his heart and from his mind, he writes from other people's perspectives too. You know, like imagining how this person felt, or something like that.

It's like bread and jam. There would be no jam if one puts peanut butter on the bread... Always READ the label, please (or you could just look at what you put on the bread. When it looks like jam, then it's not peanut butter. Simple.)

I have to contest an appeal to the 'sentences in parentheses'--it is bugging me, really. I'm trying to make a point here. (Make it quick, will yah?! Some people have lives here.)

Anyway, my point is...
Life is not all about fun and games... (blah, blah, blah... quit with the cliches, it's soooo last century)

(Okay, do it your way... Can't take a joke, can yah? Anyway, what this person's trying to say-- I had to read everything-- is try opening up your mind to other things, it makes life more fun to be in. Just think once in a while. Try to sit down, bore yourself intentionally, and think-- who knows, you might come up with the next 'billionaire idea.' Our slogan for the day: Just Think.)



...crap.
OUST THE 'SENTENCE IN PARENTHESES'

(HAHA. YOU WISH.)
