YES OMG KYAAAA! -rabid fangirl scream-

Just one day after I posted up my latest piece I had TWO comments on the page AND a fave. I'm even more enthused than ever because it was an original idea, something I wanted to express for who knows so long, and it's very personal to me.

So I'm REALLY TOUCHED that some stranger out there took the time to read and comment on it! Deviantart fucking up on me multiple times as I tried to post it up yesterday was worth it! Ok, not worth it, nearly worth it, I nearly cussed at the computer yesterday.

I love writing. I really do. I suppose my latest work is much more personal because I wrote a little bit of myself in there. This is why I want to study English Literature, because others' experience, thoughts and actions are interesting to study. How they use select words to express their feelings, how they make a whole new character from ideas fumbling around their heads into flesh and blood, nearly as real as you and I, and putting a bit of themselves inside the character.

That why I suppose I could connect a little with the 'atom' deal in 'The Effect of Gamma rays on Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds'. I don't know how to explain it, but the closing lines of 'atom. What a beautiful word.' really got me.

Anyway, don't be fooled when others tell you that vocabulary is a crucial point in any essay. Yes, some of it is, but face it, no one wants to read an essay speckled with words which look like they came from the ancient latin texts, pre-translation. As long as you can back up your point and create emotion in your writing, you're fine. Many people whose works I've read have beautiful imagery and good vocabulary, but their writing comes across as flat.

However, I shall continue in my relentless pursuit for better vocabulary. It always comes in useful during a debate or insult match.

P.S. I forgot to address an issue of utmost consequence. Is self-worship perfectly acceptable? I've had self-praising ego sessions a while back, and it's cool. I think after this bout of good news I'll go into another ritual of worshipping my genius.

One man's genius is another's insanity, someday the world will realise the genius in my insanity.
