So, I've started watching YA Rebels, (if you don't know, it’s a youtube channel that's got like, seven or
something people who are in different stages of publishing, I like - anyway I
watch it occasionally because as a vlogger I like watching Danny Marks, though
I'm not all that sure about his book, mostly cause I don't think it's the
type...anyway, it's more about him as a person to watch than anything else, and
he's helpful, or at least I think so. maybe he's just my type of person, thinks
the same, and all that.
This is all besides the point.
Marks has Sunday and so either
Monday or Tuesday I go and have a look at what he has to say. And it was
on...um, superstition when writing, which is a cool topic, I’m sure a lot of
people have it, mostly because, well people do things like that all the time
for one reason or the other, it’s what makes us spiritual, isn’t it?
Anyway, I don’t particularly
have one, really I write on my dining table so that I can see the telly when it’s
late at night, or look after my kids threw the day, but saying that I can’t
watch something without a keyboard under my fingertips or a pen in my grip. That’s
a little bit of a things isn’t it. Anyway,
it’s something that I have to do,
really, I can start to watch on but at least half way through I’m up about,
restless, give me something to write on, and I’ll...settled.
This week, as far as I can
tell, or maybe it was just Tuesdays one, was ‘what got you into writing?’ yeah
she did it nicely, all, the large named way and that shit (Monday Has No
Reservations).
So you know me (maybe), mine
came from Twilight by
Stephaine Meyers, it’s a book I read and then about half way through –
hell, I don’t even think I got that far threw it before I thought, ‘hell, I can
do that easily’. And really, YA books are all like that, though there are a lot
I don’t believe I can do better than, really, but Twilight... hell, do teenagers
talk like that?
And the only reason that I hate about the
books. That and the fact that she’s a girl you don’t ever like to hang around,
a roll your eye friend, let along trying to read four books with that tone.
Not the point. Really, it’s
not. That was the book that got me into writing, though you can read ME to find
out more about that shit. Anyway, it’s the book that did it for me, and all the
others that have helped me figure out what I want to write (which is funny,
cause let’s face it, I haven’t really done that either) but it’s paranormal that
I like, and I like it because it’s a little dark around the edges, the people
have to go through harder things, more life changing. They pull at your heart
more than anything else, and they are...well something more to those people out
there that have it tough but doesn’t really want to see it.
Well, I thought it was good
question, or more so I wanted to answer it, spill to others, and maybe plug
something that doesn’t need help.
