Books and Books and Books

Hello! So remember how I said I was going to read Moby Dick? Yeah that didn't happen. Once again, I got very distracted by a wonderful new book that I found for 20% off! ha ha It's called The Choice by Nicholas Sparks. Oh man!! It is so wonderful! It's a pretty quick read too. But beware, if you've never read a Nicholas Sparks book before, I have to warn you that they are going to pull on your heart as well as your eyes. Yes you will probably tear up a little bit, and if not, you'll still be really sad, but don't worry, the endings are happy as well as sad. But read it!!! Read it!! So so so good! I just finished it today. It was so good that i read it while I was supposed to be paying attention in my Education in Society class. It's a good thing that class has about 200 people in it.
So, my next exciting project is to write a short story for my creative writing class. I am having a really hard time sitting down and writing down all the ideas spinning around in my head. I've got the whole story line there, but getting it out in words that the average person (that isn't me) can understand is real hard!! It's due really soon too! Any advice? My story is based on one of my favorite movies and fairy tales. The tale is Snow White, and the movie is The Seattle Children's Theatre's Production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. (I love that movie). The only difference is that it takes place in modern times and there is no magic. It's much more difficult than I thought, turning one of my favorite stories into a believable series of events. Oh Dear. So people, if you've got some kind of story writing advice, spit it out man!!!
Well, I guess that's it for now. By the way, I like getting comments on what I write on here so if you feel the need :) Please do. Oh! I am so excited because I get to come home this weekend and I can't wait!! yay!!! Uh... yep well, See ya
