In The End

As I sit here wondering what to type. I sit and listen to the words of Linkin Park,hoping beyond hope that it will spark something in me to type up the best story ever written.But alas, I know that is impossible. I may be able to create the best story of the year, or the month even, but there have been too many great books in this world, that I couldn't possibly compete with them. The masters of story telling, to me, are writers such as Stephen King (the all time master of literature), S.E. Hinton, Edger Allen Poe, William Shakespeare, James Patterson, P.C. Cast+Kristin Cast, and Ellen Shreiber. Those are a few of my favorites atleast. The main one I would be honored to meet is Stephen King. To me he is the master of allwriters! His stories are filled with such emotion, such horror, such beauty, if I were to write a book that came at least a fraction close to his great works I would be overjoyed! But alas, there lays the problem, I have yet to complete a single work that I have started. I had one story that I thought would make it in the world of famous literature. I had started writing it when I was fourteen or fifteen. But I found out how terrible it really was when I picked it up recently and reread it. I found many errors. After reading half of it I just threw it down. I couldn't stomach reading anymore. It was an embarressment!
I have been trying to think of the greatest story ever. I have written down ideas that, if linked together in just the right way would create an amazing novel! (Not one as good as Stephen King's, but still, exceptable.) But after writing down the little paragraphs of information, I have yet to come up with a way to link them together. Every time I try to think of a story my mind goes blank. It's like it is trying to tell me that I'm either not ready to write a novel, or that it is impossible for me. I feel like I have lost my imagination. I use to come up with so many mini stories in my head! I had imaginary friends, I would play out my stories, I would create fan fictions in my mind. But this year, I have yet to come up with even a full character!
Has my imagination run from me? Have I lost all ability to imagine stories and characters? Will I ever be able to write and complete a great novel? I don't know the answer to any of these questions, but I wish I did. Hopefully one day my imagination will return or become more active, and I will be able to write more. Until then I sit and ponder until my mind feels like it is going to explode! In the end, I will either break out of this imagineless depression, or I will forever put myself down, and never attempt to recreate my imagination!

Art

Art is great. You can do just about anything with art. You can draw, paint, do digital art, use paint program on your computer, and even photography is considered a form of art! The fun thing is, if you do any of that, you can do it however way you want and it will STILL be art! And don't thing there is something wrong with being an artist. Because there's NOT! You may be ridiculed by others for the things you create but don't let it bother you. "Normal" people will never understand the nature of us artists. And you don't even have to do the things I've listed above to be an artist. You can be an artist and show off creativity through your clothes or music, even writing! So just remember, if someone ridicules you for being you, just ignore and try not to let it bother you!

Horror, gore, and scary films...

I use to HATE scary, gore-filled, horror films, but after I turned fifteen and met the love of my life (who LOVES those type of movies) I started watching them and found that I liked them!
I had always gotten nightmares after watching those types of movies... they just scared me. It took me fifteen years to get over my nightmares...which is kind of embarressing but whatever. The first "scary" movie I watched was Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Many may say that movie was freaky, weird, not scary, stupid because it was a musical blah, blah, blah. But you know what... I don't care! I loved the movie. It had Johnny Depp in it! How could you not love it? Plus it was directed by Tim Burton and stared Helena Bonham Carter, and Alan Rickman in it! When I heard Johnny sing I melted, his voice is amazing!
Anyway, then I gave the Saw series a try. And guess what I found out? I found out that I liked them too! I am a total fan of the Saw movies now. I mean I like them SO much that on Halloween I dressed up as the Jigsaw dummy!
A few more good movies are Dead Silence, Drag Me To Hell, the Alien series, the Predator series, District 9 and a ton more. Now you may be saying that some of these aren't even scary. Which you are right, but before I met Sandman I would have NEVER watched these movies. I now I was a baby, but whatever! That was the past and now I am here, and I am watching awesome movies!
What do you think of these movies and types of movies?
