Dos Scribblings Weekly -- Inspirations, imaginings, good literature... and other matters. =]

Well heelloooo!!

Welcome to the first post of Dos Scribblings Weekly. For now it's just one this week, but on Monday I will do another one and then on Friday again.
I decided just to do something simple and talk about some of the things that help me become inspired to weave a great story. But where to start?
Where it all starts. A spark. An idea. An exciting incident to spur the start of a story.
This is what has happened to me time and time again whenever I see an enchanting movie or read a great book woven by a wonderful storyteller. Or in some other not so-common-cases for me is reading other young writers work with a combination of the above.
The combination of other writers work and movies like Lord of the Rings, Terabithia, and Narnia inspired me to write one of my books called The World Within. I am editing the second draft currently, and if I remember correctly I finished it back in 2008 sometime.
This is the book I hope to publish someday soon... it would be fantastic. I am in love with the characters, and I'm lucky enough to be able to have such a strong world to build the story on.
 Everything about stories comes from a spark of inspiration at one point or another. The Hobbit "an Unexpected Journey" was one of the bigger reasons I got into editing my second draft of The World Within. 

There is always something so exciting about being inspired to write a new book... a new story. I love it. Unfortunately for us writers though, not every story idea may have a good storyline ahead of it. Maybe wonderful possibilities, but sometimes it just doesn't work out.
Though I still hold out hope for some of my own personal ideas I've had, (Like my Jack Frost story I got inspired to write after I saw Rise of the Guardians) not all of them are very easy to find conflict within the story.

Inspiration is what keeps writers going though, and thinking up ideas is one of the most fun parts about writing. The only problem is to keep on going once you've started to write this wonderful idea. And that's a whole other story for another time...

I'll leave you to think about this, and I hope this was entertaining enough for you to read so you'll come back on Monday to read the next post. Ta ta! :)

Love,

Jazmine

Determination = New blog posts

Hello blogger people's! 

This'll be a really short post since I really need to go to bed... it is exactly 4 minutes until 1 AM where I live. And I'm going on an 18 hour road trip on Wednesday, can we say... STUPID? Bahahaha.... okay. Enough chit chat. Let's get down to business.
I'm going to be on vacation, but I'll still be able to use computer. On Friday I'm going to start what I'll be calling "Dos Scribblings Weekly" (a.k.a. Two Scribblings Weekly). This will be writing related and this will be a constant thing as long as I can keep thinking of subjects to write about about writing.... if that makes any sense. 
I'll probably have to get some ideas for what I'll write about. But this is my new determination; to blog at least twice a week. The days you can expect to see a post will be on Monday - to read a post during the week - and on Friday - so you can read a post over the weekend. 
Now that I've written all this... I am terrified I won't write anything interesting. I suppose if worse comes to worst, I'll just write a ramble. ha-ha. 
The last thing I'll say is that I will possibly post book reviews in the future, and maybe a video review. Or both at the same time. I'm not quite ready to give up my video reviewing that I've tried. 

SO. Check back here on Friday and there will be a post up and ready for you to read! 

... and I'm off to bed, so g'night! And lots of hugs and kisses and blessings to you. 

Love, 

Jazmine
