                 W hy do I dislike strong female characters?             Well, I don’t necessarily hate them .             But I hate the fact that the writers don’t understand that there are different kinds of strengths.             There are more powers and strengths than just the whole “girl kicks butt whilst wearing high heels” stereotype.               The whole “we need stronger female leads” movement has created dozens upon dozens of the exact same girl in every YA book.             Same angsty dull personality, and of course, she’s so not like the other girls. She hates everything feminine, because makeup and personal hygien...

             I’m totally stressed and tired out right now for no apparent reason, send help.     Being real is hard.             I look at other bloggers, writers, and people in general, and they all look so cool, like they have it all together. It makes me wonder what vibe I give off when people are reading my words…             I mean, if people read my posts and imagine me to be a sloppy mess of a teenager in desperate need of the prick of a magical spindle, or a bite from a poisoned apple (a hundred year nap, that is effortless? Yes, please), or for all math and science books to be burnt ASAP, they’d be right!              But the fact that anyone might think something other than that ^ or “Sheesh, that girl loves books,” totally blows my ...

            We’ve all faced it at some point or another…               That blank page or screen. The horrible feeling of nothing, no ideas, no plans, no brilliant schemes, nothing. It’s all blank.        Yep, I’m talking about the awful monster called Writer’s Block that all writers dread. It creeps up on you and sucks all inspiration and motivation out of you like a vampire… or a mosquito.         One moment things are great! You’re in front of your laptop happily typing away, the story enthralling you in its complex plots, and the next moment you’re staring at that blinking cursor, your mind totally empty.           I’m sure by now you’ve probably experienced this, maybe you’re even struggling with it still! Well, I’m here to help, here are eight ways to get...

   Wait a minute... I thought this blog's name was Writing is Life , not Art is Life !     Don't worry, this blog hasn't been hacked (yet, I'm getting an increase of page views from Russia, yeesh)!      I'm just participating in an art contest for MiddleEarthMusician, there's still three days left to enter so check it out HERE .       Anyways, she said we could draw anime style if we wanted to, which I'm not very good at, but since I'm busy it was the quickest option. I considered trying to draw in charcoal, but since I'm still learning I felt that would be risky, so I stuck with pencil and pencil crayons.       Prepare to cringe.... (seriously, it's not that good). Xd Ian, MiddleEarthMusician's MC     Sorry that this isn't real post, although I am writing one and if all goes well it will be up tomorrow!      Also, I am now taking blog requests...

    Your blogger feed, wordpress feed, and your inbox is about to explode….       With NaNoWriMo posts. Sorry for not having an actual picture for this post, my laptop is acting up, I'll hopefully update this soon.         In case you don't know, NaNoWriMo is an online event that happens in November, which is national writing month. The challenge is to basically write 50k in one month, all through November. It's a great way to meet fellow writers, creatives, and bloggers.         Because of its popularity, the blogging community is about to go CRAZY in a matter of days, already I see NaNo posts or NaNo prepping month posts, which are amazing, but there are going to be SO MANY SO SOON!          I've only been blogging for nine months, and I've already lived through the gazillions of Camp NaNo 2017 and Recovering from NaNo posts.    ...
