You have your whole life ahead of you.Maybe a diary will give you something to reflect on.Because although it may not seem important when you are young and free.You may want to reflect someday on the right now...
You know I tried a diary a few times. Its been pretty tough to keep up with though. I even tried it on my Tablet PC. The problem with my tablet pc is that it overheats and constantly crashes.
That bugs the heck out of me so I never was really able to keep up. I'm planning to get an Eee PC 900 soon, so that should help me focus on my writing a bit more. The fact there's no real games I can play on it is a bonus.
Really committing for it to be a writing PC only. That and maybe vlogs.
never attend a school to learn how to write - all authors will tell you that! Start small time - short stories, sell them, see how they go - orientate yourself on the response of the sales.
You mentioned fantasy - create your own world, create it, live it - bring it to live. I am sure you can do it, and you certainly live in the right country to make a success with it. Think about it - and if you need a proof reader - I have done it before to make some extra cash... (PM me for e-mail)
Hehe you know I have been thinking about this post for the week its been up. I really have to agree with you. I want to go to school however to be able to edit my own work. ( At least better than I can edit it now. )
I have been doing some exercises from the writetodone website and they have been working really well. One is to meditate for 5minutes then write ninstop for 5 minutes. That one actually seems to be working the best for me.
Currently I love to read Laurel K Hamilton's work. A couple other ones I read often are Raymond E Fiest, Robert Jordan ( He died recently :( ), Terry Goodkind and I read 2 blogs by Leo Babauta.
One is Zenhabits and the other is Writetodone. I love those blogs.
How many cats do you have & do any of them swim in your pool? I wish we had gyms for $19 (c. €12/£10). Did you know Anthony Burgess (author of Clockwork Orange) wrote 5 novels in a year?
Well that output was prompted by a false diagnosis - he tought he would die that year & wanted to provide his wife with a potential income in the form of publishable novels.
Luckily, he was not ill at all & lived another 30+ years. I don't think he wrote so fast after that, but he was a prolific writer.
That sounds good, like you'll get around to it, probably soon:)
Yeah, cats have a way of moving around as soon as you point a camera at them. When I learned B&W photography (in the days of smelly developing fluids) I found it was a great exercise trying to get good shots of one of my cats.
Ender's Game is one of my favorite books ever. Stitch is a cutie. And your eyes are a really nice color ^_^. Congrats on keeping up w/ the vbloging.

What really annoyed me throughout my whole life was when ever my parents or their friends would call me a lady killer when ever they saw my eyes.
Upon further deliberation, I realize like both men and women though. So I guess those comments are ok after all ^_^ hehe

Have you ever read 'The world of tiers Trilogy' by PJ Farmer? I can only recommend it...

I have not and It took me months to answer you. I'm ashamed of myself. I'm bad, I'll have to go and look for them.

We have 3 cats. Wow I hope to write a lot of novels myself.
I don't know about writing 5 a year but its really something to aspire to.

Anyway, one novel will be enough for starters.
Look fwd to seeing more of your cats:)

I really can't wait to write a novel. I get the tingles just thinking about it. hehe
I have another cat that has been quite elusive in my video's. She is a calico. I'll see if i can get her to make an appearance sooner or later.
