Writers Block. . .

is a real pain in the $&%@*!! Sometimes, I wanna smack my head against the wall until it comes up with one word that rhymes or flows with the previous lyric. I get inspired by every little thing I pass, but I can't seem to get the inspiration in the same context of a song I'm writing. It's all for different reasons;
relationships
God
parents
love

ect. ect. ect. . . Ughhh right now, I'm working on a song called "Change" every other word is the word "Change" okay we get the song is called change by this point, right? : ( Man, it's not simple. Everyone says I have a talent for writing and craft and creativity. . . but I can never stay on one topic. All my "doodles" of songs are real to me, and personal, so they mean a lot even if they're cheesy. . . which I try to not aim for.

But on the bright side;;

SENIOR BALL TOMORROW WOO.

Maybe the song, it'll come to me soon. . .

I need to go read my Bible.

Peace.

Book Signing!!

OMFG I MET ELLEN HOPKINS.
Now if only I remembered my camera. . . I swear I am such an airhead. Now today at school, Ellen Hopkins came to tell her story and talk about her books::
Crank
Burned
Impulse
Glass
Identical

: ) she was amazing. Oh my goodness, and she was hysterical. The entire assembly lasted about an hour, she told us her life story and talked about her books. I'm pretty sure she got many people crying since Crank and Glass are based off of her daughters life story. It wasn't hard for her to open up about it though, so we all felt comfortable with her/talking to her. She was very down to earth though, and she is very fan friendly.

After the assembly, she had a book signing! Now I don't have any of the books, but my friend lets me borrow hers. So instead she signed my ticket : ) if only I could get my lazy butt off my bed to go take a picture of it. . . eh I'll do it tomorrow. Haha. She signed "For Jordan, Be Strong. Ellen Hopkins" She was very lovely, and very nice. But she was really exhausted by the time we got to the front of the line. I asked her if she didn't mind a picture and she said "of course!" with a smile, I don't even know what I'm typing I was so excited!!

Good luck with the rest of your books, Ellen. You are an amazing writer and such a strong woman. We appreciate everything you do through your writing, may God guide you through your book signings and books. : ) Thank you for this opportunity.
