We're off to go antiquing, the wonderful world of antiques!

You ever found it strange how nice a day of browsing can be?

Well, guys may not, but i'm sure girls have.

It's weird how satisfying just wandering around looking at old trinkets is, it was fun!

I feel like i'm being a bit boring on this blog of mine, i shall try to channel some Kiersten White: Her blog is AWESOME!

I need to get some crazy back into my writing, crazy is fun to read.

BLAAAAGGHHH!

See?

You didn't expect that now did you?

So i started thinking about a piece of English coursework i have to write, my idea is about a girl with synaethsesia (I think that's how you spell it) who is in a mental institute. (It's only a short story)

You ever had that feeling about when you write: That the characters you're writing about already exist, you're just telling their story.

And when you pause writing about them they just go on living their little lives without you and you have to catch up with them when you re-start writing.

Well my character's decided to live her life and not fill me in on this little detail.

My mind is as blank as a blank thing... that is blank.

Oh well, i have a long time to write it yet.

Maybe if i poke her......

And now I can break into my own car.

Unless you didn't know, i have a twin. Just thought i'd let you know.

Well, today we were volunteering in the British Heart Foundation, (Partly because i needed something to do whilst looking for a job, but mostly for the charity part.) and one of the perks of volunteering there is that i get to nab things before they go out onto the shop floor. I found a cute pair of earrings this way today (Obviously i paid for them) which were little blue birds in gold cages, cute. :)

Anyway, this post was mostly about something funny that happened a week ago:

Me and my sister we putting our stuff in the car and (Stupid moment) i didn't ask her if she had the keys and we ended up locking both sets of keys in the car.

Before, we had left one of the doors unlocked (It was too close to the wall so no-one could get into it) so we could just about open it but could only fit our arm in up to its elbow.

So, we managed to make a contraption to wind down the window but it didn't work. Anyway, we managed to open the window by using a pipe and a hook: The pipe to push the handle down and the hook to pull it up.

Eventually i gave my sister a leg up and she wriggled into the car and unlocked the other door so we could pull the back seat down and get the keys and out school bags out. :D

Tada! We broke into our own car. Good times.

Alice through the looking...wonderland?

I don't know how many people have seen the new two-part 'Alice' but i happen to think it's awesome.

I do find it a smidge odd that it's kind of a mix of 'through the looking glass' and 'in wonderland' because she falls through a looking glass after following a guy called 'the white rabbit'... weird.

The action is so cool and the possible romance between her and the hatter rocks!

I know this is just a distraction from my writing but i love it all the same. :)

Talking of writing, i'm starting my English Language coursework soon and i thought i'd share the possible idea i have for it. (It being a piece of original writing or 'writing to entertain' as we were briefed.)

The idea so far is of a woman with synaesthesia, in this case she see's smells, who possibly works in a pie shop (shown in a flashback) and is put into a mental institute (This is set in the 1800's) because they think she's crazy. It's only a short story, like 1500 words or so, but i relish the opportunity to write on any occasion. (Even though i may be stuck in a period of writers block to do with my novel at the mo.)

Sigh, TV is my addiction. :)

The first post is the hardest...

Hey, my name is Rebecca and i am an aspiring writer.

As i come close to going to university, i feel that i need to make a move on getting my writing career going.

This blog will hopefully be a place for me to write about my life and inspire me to finish my first novel. I hope, one day, i get to be a successful author. :)
