Week 2 Famous Last Words

I have found myself struggling with motivation issues this week. Sometimes it seems impossible to keep up with everything going on, and get a head, and sleep, and eat, and have a social life. But it will come. It’s all about telling yourself that you can do it – and possibly having your roommates cook you dinner – and then you will be able to be successful. The goal is to increase my creativity and to expand ideas. There are endless possibilities and ideas when creating a story, you just have to tap in and unlock the secret to your mind. Right now I am still fiddling with the key.

I am not quite sure if I have found my definitive writing style yet, nor am I certain that I ever will. I consider myself to be a writing chameleon, so to speak. But I have found some styles of writing that I find to be a bit more comfortable than others. I’m hoping to become a bit more familiar with different styles, both by reading stories from the UnTextbook and from my peers in this class. 

 Speaking of chameleon's...rather than a picture, I decided to include a cool video of a chameleon changing colors. So here is Super Chameleon. Enjoy! 

I actually found this week to be a bit easier than last week, probably because we are getting a little bit more into the groove of things. I seem to always favor the familiar, which tends to show in my choices of writing topics. There is nothing wrong with the familiar; you can watch a movie or read a book a hundred times and still get something different from it.

Literally anything can be an inspiration to a story – pick-up lines, a friend crying, weather, a music video, football game, a movie, 2+2 – it just depends on how you spin it. Speaking of football, I hope everyone enjoyed the first game of the season. Nothing like game day in Oklahoma to get you fired up. Boomer Sooner.
