It's semester break for most of the universities and most of my friends are currently working. I think I am the odd one out since what I do is to stay home and..... hey! I am not fooling around! Well, for the first two weeks I think I was, but certainly not now. Not to mention I am on the journey of becoming a "nerd", or what I called self-enrichment, which is basically dump myself into piles of books.
This is a teenage-novel writing competition. Just when I saw this, I was pretty much into it at first thought, so I started doing some research. Yet, the requirements for this competition seems quite difficult for me to achieve: it should not include paranormal, violence or pretty much anything that is considered negative. Ermmm... I am a person with lots of dark thoughts and those certainly can't be of any use if I were to start this novel. Huh... and no romance some more.
Two days later, another "mission" popped out. I am to write some short stories (English ones) to send to our lecturer to view and edit and gain a chance to publish them. But but but... all my ideas and languages are a total jumble and I don't know which to start first! English or Chinese? Novel or short stories? What about the ideas? Genre? Chaos.
What makes situation worse is that I have not written fiction for a long time, I think I stopped after SPM, which make it...4 years. Oh goodness! Since then I have been writing for the sake of assignment and exams that are not "creative" after all. I do manage to write a few poems, but poems do not need as much details and length as novels!
Well, let's see if I can get one of these missions accomplished. Both challenges accepted and I promise to send in my work. For now, let me get lazy first XD
Bye!
