Challenge UPDATE End Of Eighth Month [Late]

Mon Sep 15, 2008, 11:40 AM
  • Mood: Neutral
  • Reading: Staying Alive real poems for unreal times
  • Eating: My Words...
Update For August
Late Again, I Know, I'm Lazy.

Essentially A Month Of Relaxation, And This Is Why Quality Fell: No Inspiration In Any Form
This Worries Me, I've Always Been Able To Get Inspiration From Pretty Much Nothing
Hopefully Quality Will Again Increase Next Month
Time Will Tell

I Got My A Level Results: 2b's 1d And 1a [But That Was In General Studies, Not Really Hard If You Have An Opinion In Anything...]
It's Not Great But Not Bad.

Over The Last Month I've Felt Really Ill In Various Ways But I Keep Them Quiet Because I Don't Draw Attention To Myself Whenever I Can, Which Still Confuses Me, Because I Am An Attention Seeker :/
I've Just Gotten Used To It I Guess.

Not Much To Say Again, I've Been Boring heh.

August Update, First And Last

Challenge UPDATE End Of Seventh Month [Late]

Sun Aug 31, 2008, 4:04 AM
  • Mood: Neutral
  • Reading: Staying Alive real poems for unreal times
  • Eating: My Words...
Update For July

I Know This Is Late But I Remembered During August And Didn't Have The Time Then I Did And Just Got Lazy...
Not Really Much Happened This Month, It Rained But Mostly Was Sunny.
Results Day Looms Ever Closer [As I Write This I Know The Outcome ^.^]
It Was Pretty Much A Month With No Issues, As Well As Being The Month I Turned 18 Finally. Most Embarrassing Day EVER.
Although I Had A Laugh As Well. What Was My Party Idea? That's Right, Bingo

As I Have Little Time Right Now, To Save About 5-10Minutes I Shall Not Get all Of The Poems Links, Just The First And Last Of This Month

July Update:

Day 182: [link]
Day 212 [link] [Probably The Worst Poems I Will EVER Do]

As Of July 1st I Am Half Way Through The Challenge.

June Has Been Mostly Uneventful, But I Have Had A Huge Downfall In My Emotional Standpoint. However Few People Know [Knew Now I Guess] This.
Why Do I Hide It? 1) Because I Can, Extremely Sucessfully, 2) It Stops People Going On And On And On Asking If I'm Okay.
I Really Should Be An Actor Because I've Been Told I Look Real Happy.
Some Would Say Hiding This Sort Of Thing Is Bad, But How So? I Don't Manifest It Elsewhere.

As Of A Week And A Half Ago I Lost Contact With The Person Who Meant The Most To Me In The World Just Because I Was Honest With Them [Long Story Is They Insulted Me While I Was Depressed, So I Commented, So They Commented Back Moaning About My Depression, So I Told Them Pretty Much Everything That Annoyed Me About Them And With Justifications Which Are Fair...]. We Haven't Spoken Since
Needless To Say This Has Not Helped My Depression...

My Exams Are Fully Over, And Now Is The Wait For Mid-August For Results, Yay... But At Least It Means I Can Focus On Things Better, And Have Long Naps ^.^

I'm Thinking On Going To The Ledbury Poetry Festival Next Month [As In July] Should Give Some Inspiration.

I Also Bought A Book With 500 Poems Which Are Like The Majority Of Mine: Human Nature. Mainly For Inspiration In Terms Of The Pure Power I Can Put Into My Words.
It May Also Ease My... Uneasiness Of Life Currently.

I Have, For The Last Few Days, Been Doing Pun/Double Meaning Titles:

Fate In Others
History Shows
Wished Upon A Soul

Get Them Yet?

This Month Has Been Slow Other Than That, If I Remember Anything, I'll Add It.

Another Month Has Passed And I'm Still Going

What Have I Been Up To?

Found A Book: James Reeves- Understanding Poetry
I Started Reading It For A Laugh, But It's Actually Really Good, And It Criticises Some Writers And Brings Up A Very Interesting Idea Of What Makes A Poet. Essentially Everyone Is Born With The Potential To Be A Poet. Every Child Can Write Something Half Decent Poem Wise Due To Their Imagination And View On Life, And Those Who Can Write Later In Life Have Meerly Grown Without Losing This Ability To Perceive Life Out Of The Bounds Of What Everyone Else Does.
I Really Do It No Justice In That Paragraph, It Is Really Well Structured Over Ten Pages On Just That One Idea Of What Makes A Poet [The Whole Book Is At Least 200 Pages Long]

I've Been Ill Over The Past Week And A Bit, And My Work Has Half Suffered; I've Managed To Write It But Not Post It, And Even Then I Don't Really Like What I've Written.

I've Either Got Another Writers Block [Which, Let's Be Fair, With The Amount Of Writing I've Done Is Understandable] Or Am Simply Doubting Myself And My Ability To Complete My Challenge.
Maybe The Doubt Has Manifested As A Block.
But Either Way I'm Really Struggling To Write What I View As Good Work. But Saying That, Yesterday And Today [1st June] I've Written Some Complex Pieces, Like I Used To Write, So Maybe My Overall Style Is Just Fluctuating.

I'm Now On Study Leave For Exams And This Means One Thing: I Spend Most Of My Time Alone. This Is NOT Good, As I Think More When I Am Alone. And I Have A Depressive, Pessimistic Personality At The Best Of Times. I Don't So Much Get Bad Thoughts, But More I Eat At Myself, And Often I Can Barely Cope.
So Yay At That.

I'm Still Yet To Look For A Publisher, So I Really Should :/

Once Again, Thanks To All Those Who Support Me In Anyway, Your Comments And Favourites Are The Encouragement I Need To Keep Going.

I Am Now A Third Of The Year Through, And Still Going Strong
My New Series Of 'Injustice' Has Inspired Me Somewhat, And I Feel My Work Has Increased In Quality Slightly.

I'm Still Having Issues With My Life, But As Of This Moment They Are Not My Main Concern. They Provide Entertainment As Well As Slight Inspiration, And Just Things To Keep Me Occupied.

What Am I Worried About?
I've Always Been A Dreamer; Hoping For Better Things, And Striving To Separate Myself From Reality. Since Entering College, I've Been Forced To Confront A New Aspect Of Myself Through It: The Side Which Hates Me.
My Biggest Issue Is That All My Fears And Woes Are Held In This, And It Is Dominant In My Head.
Over The Last Few Days These Worries etc, Have Proceeded Into Entering My Imagination Process. I Think I've Mentionned Before That I Over-Analyse Future Situations And What I Could Have Said To Make Things Better. The Things Have Merged And Formed A Situation Where I Stop Concentrating Against My Will And Then Every Event I've Felt Uncomfortable About In The Last Month Will Run Through My Mind At Extreme Speeds, And All The Feeling I Have Throughout Is Relived. Not Fun.

I Dislike Emotions; Namely Love. After Loving The Same Person For A Sequential Number Of Years, It Becomes Tedious For The Most Part, And Painful For The Rest

I Found A Poetry Book In The College Library Made In 1957 And Never Taken Out, And I Don't See Why. It's Made By Roethka, And It's Really Good. There Are Some Real Acheivements In There, And Also Some Funny Poems, But There Are Some You Question Their Decency, Much Like Any Poetry Book If I'm Totally Honest [I Don't Doubt That Mine Will Have It's Fair Share]

I'm Finding More And More Solace In Reading And Writing, Just Like I Used To, Mostly I Completely Switch Off And Just Let The Words Visualise In My Head As I Write. I Love How It Just Manages To Make My Brain Work Like It Should: Fast, Efficient, And Word Perfect.
I've Started Writing More Of What I Now Call My Attempt To Beat Sun Tzu's Perfect Analysis Of Humanity In War, By Writing A Fictional Experience Based On All I Know. The Man From The FPO. I Think This Will Be Easier To Write Than My Other Story As It Involves No Real Direct Plot Line [It's A Man Telling You The Story. More Than Narrating, It's A Strange Autobiography]
I Hope To Do More Over The Coming Months, And Will [I Will Not] Study Leave At The End Of The Month, It Is The Perfect Opportunity, And Will Mean I Won't Be Wasting ALL My Time.

I Have A New PC Which Can Actually Run Internet Explorer... Wait, I'll Correct That. Which Can Actually Run Any Basic Program Without Crashing, [And Every Game Out There Currently, yay]
The Problem This Presents Is When Do I Now Write My Poems? If You May Have Noticed, A Few Days Have Been Earlier Than Midnight, Just So I Can Keep Playing And Not Worry About The Time Constraints. It Puts An Eerie Pressure On Me As I Know I Have Hours, But I Have To Do It In Twenty Minutes...

This Month Has Been Productive: One Day I Wrote Three Poems, And I Wrote A Poem With 3 Purposeful Agenda's Put Into It [link] , I Also Wrote A Poem With A Real Plot Line Which I Haven't Done Since Day 6 [Or Possibly Day 43, But I Don't Think That's Really A Plot Line...]

Thats About It For This Month [I've Been Doing This About Thirty Minutes To Get The More Appropriate Wording And Such]
