Poetic

The discovery of "words" and "sentences" and "paragraphs" must have been an incredible, awe-inspiring moment. I wish I could have been there at the "dawn of writing". Only another writer could really understand the pure magic of it.

Forgive the nerdiness...

But, when I hear Mt. Desolation hum, "Morning wears a veil of rain above the city I live in..." or Owl City sing, "Drenched in vanilla twilight..." I literally get chills at the fantastic poetry of their lyrics. It amazes me how these songwriters can paint such tangible pictures in words.

Metaphors. Similes.

My editor (my dear dad) wondered why I left out these magical elements in my own book. Certainly, I didn't do it on purpose. I'm not at all against metaphors and similes. A mere oversight on my part. But now my mission is to adorn every chapter with glorious metaphors and magnificent similes.

Novel Update: I'm scared. 15 days to conclude my novel. My dad still has 11 chapters to edit. I have to input the changes, and add several more of my own. 15 days...until victory.
