The Nutcracker

If you like to write like I do, I’m sure you have experienced a writer’s block from time to time. It’s the worst thing imaginable and the most traumatic tragedy in once’s life. Now that it’s cured I just came to the fact that I’m really behind in my things, and I was about to pass out. Inspiration is so radical with me. It comes in great amounts and floods my brain, and I could write 10 stories if my fingers were fast enough. Or, the opposite, it forsakes me entirely, and I can barely write my name.

But the cure is so simple. A good sleep, then a nice World Cup fever (and a few tears for my team, which, as usual, didn’t get past the fourth game) and then a good read. A good book always get’s me out of a writer’s block. This time, the hero of this miraculous healing was the great Master Piece of Isaac Asimov, “I Robot”. Wonderful to say the least.

And then, the ultimate strike against my writer’s block was a good movie that brought back inspiration to me. Because, writer’s block can be divided into two kinds. One is lack of will. You simply don’t write because you don’t feel like it. Second is lack of inspiration. And the third (technically) is the combination of both. Well, I can say I had the latter.

After 6 months of writing non-stop, what you definitely need is a good break. But when you spend way too much time on that break, inspiration abandons you. So, after a good read I got my will back. And after “The Lake House” with Keanu Reeves (*drooles*) and Sandra Bullock, after a most wonderful love story, so wonderfully well written, and so wonderfully portrayed, inspiration tends to knock your door. Well, I just had to open.

So, the writer’s back! And with my fics, my stories and my French classes (and the diet, but please don’t talk to me about that) I have a kind of busy summer. I miss school, and I miss my friends (who by the way went on vacations, the bastards). But well, until september when I start college will I get rid of this boredom.

Until then…good-bye

Well, this is the second post of this page. Technically is the third, because I uploaded an original version of one of my HP fanfiction chapters here. Anyway, right now I’m just hanging around home. I was watching the match Brasil vs France and got the shock of my life earlier when Portugal defeated England. I really wanted them to lose because they defeated Mexico in the first round 😛 but well, now I’m with France. Zidane earned even more admiration than he already had.

Now, life has been boring these last days. I haven’t seen any of my friends lately. The only thing that is “exciting”, and note I’m being sarcastic, is that tomorrow we hold presidential elections. I’m still not allowed to vote, which honestly irritates me, but I’m pendant of everything that’s going on. I’m really worried, because this is THE election that will decide the fate of the country that I live on, and the fate of the times I’m going to begin to live independently. If we go into a crisis again, I’m going to suffer it this time. It is to be worried about, truly.

In other things, I just received some bad news. A friend of mine called Melissa and her husband are leaving this country and moving to Wichita. She’s a great friend and I’ll miss her lots, and wish her the best. I’m glad she can get out of this madhouse, unlike me 😛 but I hope we don’t lose contact.

I guess that’s all for today. I have a lot of work to do, so I’d better be off. My mother is teaching me how to cook, and today she’s giving me one of the most important lessons and one of the most difficult. Likewise, I have to clean my bedroom. OMG, just so much to do and little time and will.

Until the next nut cracks!

Cheerful regards, Naycit.
