Seems like my workshop is getting pretty busy as of late. I guess my inspirations have been presenting themselves to me, or I've stopped ignoring them, who knows. After the whole emotional let down I experienced last year, I am ready for a brand new year, filled with lots of love, hope, and happiness! And, now onto my new story.

Now, it's a bit strange what I am basing this story on. It pulls elements from my life, the lives of others, combining it into a story. Now, the actual inspiration of the story, comes from none other than a song, Whispers In The Dark, by the Christian Rock band Skillet. It's an amazing song, you should go out and listen to it now. It filled with such powerful lyrics, which prompted me to write a story based on the song, with interpretations mixed with real life to make a story that should hopefully be truly unique. Everything in the song will be in the story, but not everything in the story stems from the song.

I'm working on a new one, and this one literally brings tears to my eyes, no lie. It's not the poem, but actually the feeling behind it. It's actually about something a long long time ago, I am talking years ago, and it's something I've been brooding on for the past few weeks. And finally it's come to light. I hope you guys enjoy it, and just get the feeling behind it.

UPDATE: I've had quite some time to work on the poem, thanks to not having work today (and ingesting inordinate amounts of coffee last night), the poem is basically finished, I am just tweaking things here and there, making sure things sound right, and well, I don't want the wrong thing to come across, you know? I really enjoyed writing this poem, and I also enjoy the feelings that back this poem too.

I'm planning on uploading it on the turn of the New Years, maybe what I hope for will happen....

UPDATE 2: I decided to upload it earlier than expected, I just figured it was ready for fruitation, and so, it's up, so enjoy. Leave comments if you like it! ^^

Now looky here, I have the Sonnet I mentioned in my previous journal. I think it's my best poem yet, I love it. It shows just how I've been feeling, in a strange, somewhat crazy way. It's just so scrumptious, so why don't you sink your teeth into it, and tell me what you think? Feel free to criticize, or ask the thought process on any line that is confusing you, I don't mind elaborating at all!

And now, people, remember, it's the holidays, when we are given an excuse to actually act human (that means, you know, actually being nice and loving one another), so let's make this holiday the best yet! Hold open a door for a lady, or help someone cross the street. Or flash a smile and reach out a hand to someone who needs it! So, without further ado, I wish you all a happy holidays, may fortune smile upon you, and may love and tenderness grace your life!

I am currently writing a new poem (after just recently finished a sonnet I had to write for class, in which case once graded, I'll put it on here), and I think it's fantastic. Look forward to it.

Yeah, I'm really happy since I got accepted into UCF. Today is a good day, and lets all hope McCain wins!
