... to write a story.I've wanted to write stories for as long as I can remember. There have to be dozens of little starts of stories saved in my Microsoft Word on my family's old computer and I would love to look through them sometime... But honestly, one of my life goals has always been to write a book.
And as much as I am passionate about writing and would loveee to have this lifetime goal come true, I am way to super impatient, and want to write NOW.
But it seems like everytime I feel really inspired to start writing, nothing ever sounds right. Shouldn't it just come pouring out? Some great, amazing story should magically unfold itself before me. And while I know this isn't realistic, I'm usually one to take the easy road, and this is just not coming easily. Which just makes me more impatient and anxious and prone to giving up.
I keep my fingers crossed often that I will keep this passion to write a novel, and always alwaysss have the passion to write (which I really don't think will ever go away).

Fingers still crossed and lots of luck to self! Here's to trying and to continue to try until it happens! :]

P.S. Image: The most inspiring place I have ever visited - Venice, Italy. It may have been rather warm when I visited, and, as most cities are, it was kind of dirty/smelly... but I still fell madly, head-over-heels for it.
Anywho... at the moment, I am procrastinating studying for a Western Civ exam that I have tomorrow. Starting to get kind of anxious about it, but I am SO burnt out on this class! I'm an English major for goodness sake, I am content reading Wuthering Heights (which I am right now as a matter of fact) and writing 3 to 4 page essays... I don't need anymore information on the Franco-Prussian War or the fall of the Tsarist regime. I have always loved history, but dang does this professor make it boring... 
Speaking of Wuthering Heights, which renews my obsession for learning about the life of the Bronte sisters (don't judge my English-major-nerdiness), I am also reminded of the clothing of this era, which is the time of Queen Victoria. While high collars and multiple layers of undergarments were the norm, I keep in mind the pastel and cream colors, the lace, and of course I just imagine beautiful little silhouette brooches :]
The aforementioned items are ones that I have been rather addicted to since they all went through a "trendy" period about a year or so ago. I bought this pastel pink lace-y skirt and paired it with a necklace I had made out of an antique clip-on earring that looks like an old-style silhouette brooch. 
I am still very much in love with that whole look - even though I'm sure my redheaded-self shouldn't wear too many pale pieces of clothing... Oh well, I shall obsess nonetheless and imagine Catherine Earnshaw in her Victorian dresses and such. Sorrry.. just another English reference. :]
