The Nonessential Author

I've always wanted to write a major piece of literature, something original and classic on its own right. I would like to write a play, a television script of a TV show, and maybe even a teleplay. As you can tell, writing is my hobby. Just look at my 100-page journal, which I write frequently and..um…this poor excuse for a Blog. I have yet to learn to become a polished and effective writer. I don't want to be great, but just good without having to take a plethora of English and Writing classes in College. Although, journalism wouldn't be a bad major, but I think that my accounting/adminstration major will do for now.

Sometimes, I just think about the craziest things that pop in my head. Some are really good ideas and some are really cheesy. Like this idea about a guy whom has a brain chip implanted in his head. He is able to check his email by concentrating really hard and connecting to the Internet using WiFI. He can predict the trajectory of a hurricane by processing data at an extremely fast rate, even faster than a standard supercomputer. He can balance his checkbook without even having a checkbook. That's just one of my ideas for a story.

Not only do I need a good story, but effective characters that will sell. When I mean sell, I mean that the audience is able to relate to them as a people and not just fictitious characters in a book.

I could always write a book about something real, say nonfiction. Seriously, who cares about that nonfiction stuff? I mean it's not like it's real or anything. If I did do the nonfiction track, maybe I could do something about the history of Donuts. Donuts are important, right? What I wouldn't give to have a box of warm, fresh out of the oven, Krispy Kreme Donuts. (Homer-like Drool)

Well, I guess I will think of something. I need a hobby like this to distract me from my temporary (?) lost love. Poor, Poor me. If this hobby doesn't work out, I can always learn Euchre. It's some card game you can play on Yahoo! Games. It's said to be very popular in the midwestern part of the U.S.A and other places like Australian. Who knows, I might be a Euchre Master.
