My Writing Spot - Writing Practice 2

Below lies the description of my imaginary writing spot. Where I go in order to write within my head.

It is by the ocean. Wind blowing, salt in the air. Sun shinning, sitting on a patio, staring out towards the horizon. Under an umbrella, sand being blown onto me, exfoliating my skin. Smell of someone barbequing. Sounds of seagulls and children laughing. Hearing the waves crash into the beach. Water by my side. Wearing shorts, T-shirt and flip-flops. Laying on a beach chair with a towel underneath me. Smelling bug spray and sunblock on me.

Writing Practice 1- Transcribed

I am going to try to write in this at least once a day. I may or may not post my writing... as the original writing is in a spiral notebook. I am going to write whatever is on my mind. I will never edit or cross out thought in my writing practices. Why should I? Most, if not all, will never be published or seen by any other eyes but my own. Maybe I'll write just about my day, or maybe I'll write about a daydream I had, or maybe even write down something about one of the many characters I have in my head. I have my own writing style. I do not care for anyone to critique of these writing assignments. I solely write this to WRITE. I will probably underline, italicize, and even capitalize my words, for I am writing with my own annunciation. I will write during one of my commutes, either before or after work. If I do not take the bus to work, I will write during my lunch hour. I ill not let my hand go idle. I may switch between paper and a word document. Maybe I'll transcribe this (which I did) to my computer at a later date. I will try to write for at least a page. There is always, at least one thing on my mind. It may be about an article in the news or about a book that I am reading. Sounds like a plan, yes? I wish myself in this endeavor ... I am sure going to need it. This, in the and, I hope, will make me a better writer in every essence of the word. I want to become a good writer. I want to be able to write every day of my life. I want to chronicle my own life... even if no one every cares to read it. I am doing this for ME, no one else.

Need to Write

I need to just take the time and write. I shouldn't let a lack of topic slow me down, should I? Since I last posted, I have read about 7 books. All of them were good; six of them I requested as Christmas gifts from my loved ones for my Kindle. These books seem to have some similar themes to one another.

They were all part of a four book series. The first series was the Song of The Lioness by Tamora Pierce. I have borrowed and read the series multiple times from the public library. I am just happy that I own them now : ) The books are:

1)Alanna

2)In the Hand of the Goddess

3)The Woman Who Rides Like a Man

4) Lioness Rampant

The other series that I now can say that I have just finished reading is the Wicked Series by Gregory MaGuire. I hadn't read the last two books, A Lion Among Men and Out of Oz until the last few weeks. What an amazing series! I didn't expect what actually happened to even occur.
