Welcome 2013!

How even worse my habits are becoming! I see now that it has been nearly a year since I last posted, isn't that just dreadful? Well, as least I'm not as bad as Jo from Little Women!

I'd give you a life update on myself, but I feel like that isn't really necessary, as this is about writing, not my life! But I would like to mention that I've become a fan of Doctor who, and yes, I did go see the Hobbit, and I found it to be fantastic.

Being a writer as well as an artist and actor, I have a hard time watching T.V shows or movies, especially if they're based off books. This is mainly because it they're not based off books, I can guess what's going to happen and that takes the thrill out for me. The book based shows and movies bother me for one or two reasons, one is because they don't follow books, the other is that the people who JUST see the movie think they know what they're talking about.

Fans are also a huge issue with me. They drive me crazy. For example, BBC's Sherlock. I LOVE that show, I think it's well written, well produced, and the acting is wonderful. However, I hate the fact that a lot of the fans(mainly the female ones) pair up Watson and Sherlock as a gay couple, when in the books, and show, that is not how their relationship works, they are each others best friends and practically  brothers. There's merely the running gag that they are gay.Also, in both the novels and the show, Watson has proved that he is interested in women, and the only person Sherlock showed romantic interest in was Irene Adler. I hope that one day when I get famous that I don't have fans who take my work the wrong way(which will not happen), or that I have the grace to handle them well when they do.

I've thought of a new character. His name is William Drake. I won't tell you much about him in fear of someone stealing him. Perhaps one day you will see him in a book :D

I have discovered this year that I have a problem of not sticking to one story. However, I have made a new year's resolution to finish one full rough draft of a novel, which will be my 2011 NaNoWrMo novel, which I have started typing up as that way is much easier for me to work on and my on paper draft was quite horrid.

I wish I had the kind of mind to be able to write inspiring quotes, or the person with the words to make people rise up in action, I wish my works could change the world. Maybe they will. We'll just have to wait and see.
