Why Writers Make Bad Friends

"Friends" can easily be replaced by "Acquaintance" or anything you'd prefer.

1. WHEN WE INSULT, WE DO IT WELL
Let's say your enemy is a writer. Ever heard "Insult to injury?" Well, it could happen to you. The insult would be the insult insult, as in the thing said. The injury would be the fact that the words were to too deep for you to comprehend.

2. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED ACCESS TO DREAMWORLD
Dreamworld? yes, dreamworld. A world which is full of people you've never met or imagined to even exist.

3. WE ARE EDITORS BY HEART, BY NATURE, AND BY EVERYTHING.
So when you ask us to correct an essay of yours, expect it to be returned with red covering everything. And some harsh feedback.

4. YOU NO UNDERSTAND US.
Of course you can't. After all, we're good at coming up with the strangest metaphors. We'll even throw in a paradox for good measure!

5. WE ARE UNOFFICIALLY MARRIED TO OUR BOOKS/LAPTOP
Yes, yes we are. Expect us to ignore you for Peter Pan and the likes. And don't ask us to go out with you to a certain place. We need some quality time with our typing device.

Note: I didn't come up with this idea. I was just browsing around and saw a blog post with the same subject, thought it was cool, and decided to try it out here. Only, I forgot what was the link, so sorry.

And that's five reasons! Come up with more. :)

Two Sides to Every Coin

THE FACEBOOK COIN
Heads: The games! The people! The socializing!
Tails: They went to Shanghai. I stayed at home.

THE TWITTER COIN
Heads: It's so amusing! One message in 140 characters!
Tails: I've been here for years and I only have twenty followers!

THE MOVIE COIN
Heads: So epic! Love the music.
Tails: If only life could be a movie.

THE DRAWING COIN:
Heads: They say, "It's so pretty!"
Tails: Your mind goes, "It's not the best."

Ran out of ideas. :P feel free to post this on your blog.

Writing Update

I'm currently working out more plot details for Sky Painter. Though it's going rather slow.
Cover of You, You, You
On the other hand, I'm working on poems! :)
Title: You, You, You
SP: Have 
      I ever 
      told you that, 
      to me, you're everything? (Yes, it's like that on purpose.)

LP: Every day, every smile and every time I laugh is beautiful

because of you. Hold me, take my hand, and I can face the world.

You make moments seem like they come from a fairytale, you

paintings belong in a fairytale, and what you say makes my heart
fly like a fairy. 
I love you.


Teaser: 
Day, day, day.
Every day
Is simply golden.

I'm going on a book craze for the month of February. I'll be reading a lot of Nicholas Sparks since someone can lend me a lot of his books. I'm also reading The Mortal Instruments. The MC may be stupid, but the plot's really interesting.
And March will be the time for writing!

Happy February,
