Thinking up the idea:
- Think of an idea.
- Lie in bed and think about the idea some more.
- Dismiss idea.
- Walk around house. Do menial tasks. Allow the mind to wander.
- When the mind has wandered around to an idea, stop doing menial tasks and pay attention.
- Write it down.
- Read it over.
- Change it.
- Lie down on sofa. Let idea form a story.
- Dismiss idea. Hates idea. Idea is stupid.
- Decide to write from the headlines. Switch on news. Read newspapers. Look for inspiration.
- Ebola, eh?
- Brand new idea. A plague that wipes out most of humanity! The few survivors come together under some vague supernatural (religious?) pretence.
- But evil people have also come together! Drama! Conflict!
- Realise your idea is The Stand, by Stephen King.
- Read The Stand, by Stephen King.
- Go back to original idea, decide it's good enough.
- Congratulations! You now have your idea!

«Oldest ‹Older 4001 – 4200 of 4788 Newer› Newest»*Inky appears next to Cole* Here, now she can tell me if there is a problem
*sees Ed* Ed...pleae tell me. whats wrong?*starts shaking*
Sil!
*hugs her tightly*
I will miss you..
(You're one of the best people I know!)
(Chloe!! *huggles tightly* how be you, flower?)
Nothing is wrong *small ball appears next to Felix*
(*kisses cheek* im great thanks ^^ you?)
Felix: *looks at the ball* what is this?
there is...youre lying!
You don't trust me do you? *ball glows and energy hits Felix's foot*
Felix: *jumps back*
I do...its just ....do you trust me? *cries*
((I have to go guys, byeeee!))
*Sighs and vanishes leaving behind a ring and a watch*
(Bye, Kes!
wbd)
(Byii Kessie!)
*runs to the watch and ring* no! *screams*
(Bye Kes)
*When she touches the watch the old alpha appears*
(I'm happy thank you Chlo *smiles while being kissed and returns the favour* )
(Good bye Kes)
d daddy?
OA: Inky? *runs over and hugs her*
it its Ed...
(Sorry but I don't feel like being insulted today. I'm available via email.)
(What do you mean Sil? *hugs*)
(aww Sil *huggles* email me...if you want to. I tots understand if you don't)
(She means, Edward, that Loki was a dick.)
Fair enough, Sil. I'm sorry some people are horrible and insensitive. :/
(Oh Sophia, Sil *hugs*
Hello Sophia, sorry it's late, how are you?)
(I am depressed and rather pissed off. Yourself?)
(I am fine thanks, any way I can help?)
(I'm going to disappear for tonight,
so good bye everyone.)
(Chlo darling, I'm still available via text)
(everyone seems to be pissed off today
my sister wants a punchbag..)
(okay Rhos sweetie *huggles*)
(Goodbye Garret)
Well we go back to telling me if Loki is upsetting you.....-ZF
(I dedicate to a few people
Firstly, Silente. for being amazing
Secondly to Chloe, because she is a good friend)
(hear hear *huggles* thank you Ed)
(*huggles Chloe before leaving in the same way i entered:
through my hole in reality* )
(Zafira - for future reference, people usually tend to get upset if he insults/is a dick to them. You might want to think about that.)
(It's ok Chloe *huggles* you are a good friend)
@Zaf: Yeah. It's not your fault. It's Loki's. :/
(*huggles Rhos and Ed*
You are too Ed ^^)
Not my problem, if you don't say so. How many times has he insulted people? He messes with Sil because he enjoys her reactions. If you don't tell me, I can't force him to stop.-Zaf
(*mutters about wanting a punchbag*)
(and I also add Star to my ded)
(Thank you Chloe
Sil, if you want to talk then I am here)
(I wouldn't recommend punching the wall...I did it the ither day...)
Thanks, Ed. :) :)
Punch your pillow, people. :/
No, walls are bad. Walls are hard. O_O
C has a character who always kicks the wall as opposed to punching it because he knows if he punches it he migh break his hand and that would be bad. :P
(It's ok Star, you are awesome)
(Well, Zafira, I am telling you now to stop.)
(walls do hurt...a lot)
You're not the one he was talking to. If Sil has a problem, Sil can talk to me. Not Sophia.-Zaf
Thanks, Ed, but I'm not that awesome. :)
*hugs* :)
@Inky: Yes. O_O
Why do people hide behind their characters??
Just wondering cause it's pissing me off.
(Very true Chloe
Star, you are awesome)
(Hello Em, how be you?)
@Ed: :P I'm not going to get into this argument, but thank you. :)
@Em: Because it's easier. Because they avoid blame.
(Hey Em! how art thou?
*grins* im not the brightest)(
(Zafira - How bloody obvious does it have to be that Silente wants it to stop? Does it have to jump out of the computer screen and hit you in the face?
Stop him insulting Silente.)
Not my problem, I like Sil. I actually like Sil, Loki doesn't, how do I hide behind a character who holds a different view them my own?-Zaf
What's that? All I hear is a mumble from Sophia.-Af
(I'm not here i just wanted to leave this:
Happiness is a virtue,
you need to find it, to have it
Rhos 2014 (its my own quote i made last night)
and i ded that quote to Chloe G (one half of the new ship Garky)
because she has helped me find happiness)
*leaves* )
(*bangs Soph and Zafs heads together* no arguing!)
(you two...I know Sil is hurt and all but everyone stop arguing otherwise ill bang your bloody heads together *resists punching the wall*)
Yeah you're right Star and it pisses me off to high heavens.
Whatever happened to 'if you have nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all.'
(Ok Star
Zaf, Silente obviously wants you to stop insulting her. So stop)
Owwwy ..... I already fell over a cart today, now Sil banged my head.-Zaf
(This is why I tried to leave. I give up, bye)
Oh look I have to go do things. Better then staying here currently.-Zaf
(Ed...Ill be open for messaging)
(infact...fuck it
I GIVE UP
THIS USED TO BE MY HAPPY PLACE)
(BYII)
. . .
(...
*watches everyone leave*
*smashes head against a wall*
Id. I. Ot.)
(*hugs Silente tightly* It is not your doing.)
*stands between the wall and Sil*
Stop.
Not your fault.
*hugs*
It seems everyone is over reacting just a little at the moment.
Not your fault, blame the Asgardian.-Zaf
(*hugs Soph and Matty* I screwed shit up. Again. A-fruckin-gain.)
(You were insulted, Silente. Which you did not need. You did not screw up anything. You did no wrong.)
*pinches her cheek and scowls*
Nu-uh. Stop blamimg yourself.
You reacted based on how you felt, you didn't screw anything up. It's not about placing blame.
(I disagree entirely..)
(FYI
Sil, I don't blame you
its just...the arguing
that's why Ed left in the first place, and the fact that he came back to that pissed me off
aswell as my chemistry calculations
Wolfie signing out)
Then you are the source of your own problems, until you understand that blaming yourself is uneccessary.
(PS sorry for swearing)
(Silente, you did nothing. You know I would not say this if it were not true. It was not your doing. You were insulted. You reacted naturally to the insult. You had no part to play in the argument or the people leaving. You were victimised. Nothing more.)
(*nods at Mattys words* ill happily take the blame for causing myself problems.)
But that doesn't make sense... Now you're blaming yourself for blaming yourself. That's... Recursive.
Stop it, blame is irrelevant, it just makes things worse.
(Sorry..)
(Zaf please refrain from allowing Loki to insult me for a while as my current emotion states the past few weeks have been flimsy at best.)
(*keeps hugging Silente tightly*)
(*hugs Soph tightly back*)
(There should be an opt-in system for the insults rather than an opt-out one. It would be definitely safer for everyone to be considered "not wanting to be insulted" apart from if they say otherwise, rather than everyone being considered open for insulting.)
(I will be back soon.)
(I am back.)
(It appears I have to leave but I may still be available via email.)
...
so that happened.
Okay...
Anyone still here?
Boom?-Zaf
If I was doing an rp of a character who despises vampires, I would have said worse things.
So I cannot blame you.
I'm not picking a side though.
...
I'm sorry, I should...
Sleep, Tia.
Screw studying. I'm watching Disney and crying in class.
*Poofs*
Hello,Fabi. How are you?
Danni? :S
Thanks. I tried to make him sublte.....I told him to be calm. Sigh.-Zaf
Rose?
Fucking movies wont work...
*Sighs*
So I guess I'm here...
Aww, you sure know how to make us feel wanted, Danni.
:)
Or ignore my advice. That's always an option.
I'm sorry, I can't stay... Rehearsal in fifteen minutes, and I need to get ready.
Take care of yourself, okay?
[hugs]
[hugs Rose]
That goes for you, too.
And now YouTube wont work...
My day just keeps getting better and better...
(I'll try, Fabi. Have a good day!)
...
Fabi, I'm not going to promise anyone anything anymore....
I think I'll leave too...
Danni?
*hugs her...*
I'm out of words lately. But if you need me, I'll be here for you.
...
Stay?
*tumbles through Blogland*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQT2HVfxJu4
This second half of the film clip is how I feel...
I never thought I'd end up like the chic in The A Team, but it seems like I'll be that...
Five meters away there is a guy talking about how bad this other guy wants sex. They don't realise I'm here. All the other girls left. No one realises I'm in this class...
*Sigh*
I don't want to hear about how you went to this girl's house and you were 'waiting outside for twenty minutes while she was fucking inside'...
Ugh...
You've been listening to that song a lot lately?
...
Some people, Danni, some people...
*hugs Danni*
That's nasty.
I have been listening to it lots... And A Team... Because that's how I feel all the time...
*Sighs again*
I never thought my life could be destroyed so quickly.... There is literally nothing I can do to fix this. So...
1. I'll move out.
2. Fall in with the wrong crowd.
3. Do some horrible crime, maybe drugs or something.
4. Get arrested, hopefully prison.
5. Live there because my parents would find it so much easier...
Rose....moving out isn't going to do you good. You need to get out of the mess.-Zaf
Or maybe drugs and alcohol... And depression...
Hmm...
This might work.
Zaf, moving out and never talking to my parents again, that'll get me out of their mess.
Choosing to do that is stupid.
"Do some horrible crime."
Seriously? This isn't Breaking Bad.
...
Sorry :c
*hugs Danni*
What's wrong? What can't you fix?
Well.....That won't.....work.-Zaf
I can't fix my life. Suicide was supposed to be my way out. And that didn't fucking work...
I just don't want to keep breathing...
I spend all night crying. And I don't want to... I want to stop hurting...
Rose, I don't know what to tell you anymore.-Zaf
Danni...
*hugs, scared*
Ah, they do know I'm in the room... They're throwing pens at me now...
*Sigh*
I should leave...
*Vanishes*
*looks at Zafira*
I don't.-Zaf
Danni,
I'm not good with words.
But you will find happiness one day, and it won't be because you got drunk or committed a crime.
But I don't know how to stop the pain.
*hugs her*
See you later, Danni.
I've just sat through a massive lecture on drugs and the key to "perfect masturbation"...
What the serious fuck do these people do in their spare time...?
Actually, I'd much rather not know...
In school?
*sighs*
That's.....-Zaf
Yeah, it was the students... no teachers in my class...
That awkward moment when you see some random guy at your school, and then there is a news report of a man who looks exactly like him just sitting there watching you walk...
le sigh...
Rose that is just scary.-Zaf
Nah, he's gone now.
And Dylan's gone too... :(
Oh....-Zaf
(Good night, Danni and Zaf.)
Sleep tightly.
Ooh so Chris and Liam Hemsworth are brothers. Gale and Thor....
Oh.
-Zaf
(I will. You too.
Hear hear!)
((I love you, Death. You can do this.
*vanishes*
*is available via email*))
((Also Death check your email))
*raises hand*
*is also available via email*
*hugs Rose*
Hello.
Alice... Hello.
*collapses from lack of sleep*
*it's not that late, Elleni, I swear!*
You will find happiness, all of you.
Sleep...
-I walk through the new and enticing world of Blogland, observing my surroundings-
Hm.
When I was told of Blogland, I expected it to be a bit more.. interesting.
Hello.
Aw, darn. I have to go for dinner. Bad timing. Bye... :(
Farewell, Amethyst. Your name resembles my favourite gem quite well.
-I withdraw my necklace from underneath my coat, smiling at the amethyst residing within its silver clasps, before putting it back-
Okay, I'm back!
Hello, Amethyst.
Hello Alice. How are you?
I will be kind of distant. Sorry...
*doffs his hat and wishes everyone a pleasant day*
*puts cookies in Alice and Amy's mouths*
Hello!
*is also distant*
*waves to Matex while eating the cookie*
*tries to say thank you but it turns into unrecognizable jibberish*
*finishes cookie*
Hello Matex! Thanks for the cookies! How are you?
I am well, stressed slightly because university but meh.

((I'm great, actually! I spent a day at university for an extension thing today, learning physics stuff and making cool things in the lab with nano-technology. Also, there were really powerful microscopes that could see the gap between atoms, which just boggled my mind. We got to do experiments with one.))
AMETH
*TRIES TO ROAR IN A FRIENDLY WAY*
*CAN'T BECAUSE SHE STILL HAS A MOUTHFUL OF DUG'S HAIR*
*SPITS OUT THE HAIR*
JOIN US, AMETH. YOU CANNOT RUN. WE WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU...
*calls out from above in my safe tree*
Hello Dugglyn!
Hello Fabiosaurus!
*doesn't know if "join us" means I get eaten or not...*
Um... *decides to watch and see*
*stops*
*stares at Fabiosaurus menacingly*
YOU

*TRIES TO CUDDLE*
*ARMS ARE TOO SHORT*
*NIBBLES AFFECTIONATELY*
*COWERS FROM THE NINJA AND THE THOUGHT FO THE PURPLE BANANA PEOPLE*
*FLIES UP TO ROOST AT THE TOP OF THE TREE AMETH IS IN*
*PRODUCES POPCORN TO WATCH THE EPIC BATTLE OF FABIOSARUS AND JUBIOSAURUS*
[Circles Jubiosaurus]
Jubiosaurus, I should have known. Only you could be so bold. The Banana defenders will not sit still for this. When they hear you've attacked a diplomatic Blogland...
*OFFERS AMETH POPCORN*
Hello lowlights.
[hugs Sapphidactyl]
[nods at Amethyst]
[Glares murderously at Jubi]
OH GOD
THE BANSHEEOSAURUS IS HERE
D:
*decides Sapphidactyl won't eat me*
*scoots over to give more space*
*takes some popcorn* Thanks!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
*continues staring menacingly*
*But my face is starting to hurt...*
The Banana defenders shall DIE if they cross me.
Same goes for ALL tiny humans.
D: bananananananananananananananas?
And same goes for YOU, Fabiosaurus....
*IS WON OVER BY FABIOSAURUS' HUG AND BRAVELY DECIDES TO FIGHT WITH THE PURPLE BANANA PEOPLE*
*TURNS TO AMETH*

*she loves bananananananananananananananas but poor Jubiosaurus...*
*gasps*
WHAT SIDE DO I CHOOSE?
*IS NOT A TRAITOR*
WE HAD STARTED A RAWR WAR, JUBIOSAURUS
YOU THINK I COULD SIDE WITH YOU AFTER THAT?
((By the way Dug, I love your profile pic so much :P))
I DON'T NEED ANY OF YOU. I CAN FIGHT BY MYSELF
*obviously doesn't believe that*
Never underestimate the power of bananas when they are under attack. We have stronger numbers than you would think. You'd be best off giving up now.
I'm afraid I must end my beautiful day. I'm quite tired.
GOODNIGHT!
((Thanks Saph!! :D)
