Writer's Write. My Passion. My Dream.

Tomorrow's my 3rd week at school. I've been learning a lot in my new short course for Creative Writing. Looking into different techniques and styles of other writers and I've also been learning about common mistakes that writers tend to make.
I've found in my group that my goals are very farfetched compared to everyone elses and I feel my intellect and maturity doesn't meet their standards.
It's become disheartening for me as a matter of fact. It's making me feel as if I shouldn't even be there every night on a Wednesday.
Everyone in that group basically wants to write a children's book, a cooking book, a novel of some genre and whereas I want to create a TV series.
I love TV shows, movies and film altogether. I'm the one who actually analyses everything whilst enjoying what I watch. Which may make me quite weird to a handful of people. I look into storylines, dialogue and how it's been put together. The great thing about it is, it gives me ideas for when I write my stories. But on the other hand, well I think anyway, it's added strongly onto my traits of being opinionated and judgmental.
For the last couple of days all I've really been doing in my spare time is nothing but writing, writing and writing. I've been working on songwriting, scriptwriting, storywriting and poetry to try and improve my skills. In the last two classes at CAE, it has been concreted deep within me that, I'm not the best writer. I don't have a large vocabulary base, but I love writing and I have a passion for it. I believe a writer writes. It's their foundation. It's the representation and illstration in their minds, being transferred and written down on paper. As long as I'm aware of that, I will keep writing until the day I must be buried six feet under.

Anyway, that's my two bob in for the week about my life.
Wanted to continue more about my favourite TV shows, I love and that I'm watching at the moment. These shows are the reasons why I wanted to become a TV series creator. Anyway here is my top TV shows.

LOST: I cannot wait until the last season of this series. I have watched it from day one and I'm absolutely addicted. It's confusing for a lot of people and they get turned off by that for they want something simple-minded and easy to follow and that's obviously understandable and normal, but to me, that's the reason I love LOST. For it's complex and mind blowing storylines, actions and twists. This show was very close to my heart just as much as Prison Break was.

Californication: You may think I'm perverted, and it might be true. But I love this show for it's humour and honesty. It's rebellious. And I'm talking about how the show is run and that it's a show that delivers the nitty gritty things that most people would feel very uncomfortable and offended by. It's a masterpiece, props Tom Kapinos (Creator of Californication) you're an absolute genius.

One Tree Hill: At the moment they're in their 7th season and I'm actually getting bored but I can't forget the wonderfully and beautifully made season 1, 3 and 4. Mark Schwahn made you fall in love with the characters he created and he made you feel something in your heart for them. They started to make you feel like they are normal people and you wanted to be their friends and know them personally. Now I'm in love with Kate Voegele, Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton, all thanks to One Tree Hill. Rated just under this show would have to be the OC as well until Mischa Barton and co-creators Josh Scwartz and Stephanie Savage killed it, even Gossip Girl is starting to suck right now. But I miss Summer Roberts?

How I Met Your Mother: I know a whole lot of people who can't stand How I Met Your Mother. They want the story to unfold, they want to start getting clues at very least even, on who Ted's wife is going to be. I don't, keep it going the way it is. I don't want this series to end, it's so fun and entertaining and I've fallen in love with these characters. Coby Smulders, you are a delightful, elegant lady. And the creator of How I Met Your Mother Carter Bay is a great writer. If you can gather an audience by only showing nibbles of a storyline for over five seasons and still keep viewers and fans entertained, to me that's brilliant.

Heroes: Yeah I know. WOW! Someone out there actually still loves Heroes. Well you know what, watch volume 5, you might actually be surprised! It's not Season 1 standard just yet but it's getting there and I'm actually enjoying it. Hayden and Madeleine Zima kiss each other. Uh huh, believe it, it's great. Creator of Heroes, Tim Kring, has fought so hard and for so long. He's probably had to hear the most harshes of words by fans and critics, but he just continues going on with this show. That's true bravery and a pinch of soul and a never give up attitude. Someone worth looking up to, in my eyes.

So yeah these are the writers I look up to and the shows I love and even if it is just a short course, hopefully these Creative Writing classes can continue to keep me running that race of one day living out my dream.
