Me and E.R.Hardcastle of http://www.erhinspired.blogspot.com/ have made another challenge, like we did a few weeks before using The Scripts Science and Faith Album to create a poem. We have changed it a little.

Instead, this time she came up with a better idea. We are using films that our favorite actors or actresses have been in. I have used Cameron Diaz for mine. It isn't very good, but here goes:

The Box is the only think i keep dear to me.
The Bad Teacher is the key.
If i were In Her Shoes I'd make a cup of tea,
Made of Very Bad Things. 
The Mask of her will just stop people from seeing who she is.

Yes, terrible i know, but it's still a laugh to do. Try it and send me your own through email or through a comment to that others can see.
Thanks,
J.A.M

If you write than you know that its a leap of faith, you jump off a cliff of normality and you create a world around you with words, imagery and everything that you can to change people.

I know that being a writer is hard, it is because at first your not sure that your doing the right this, when really you are just programmed to think that because of rules and regulations around the places you've lived and been too. You cant touch that because it isn't yours, you cant eat that because it your brothers. At school you wear what you want because it isn't smart, you have to go because its law.

But in your writing you cant take those rules and regulations out and you can create a new world for yourself to escape to at the end of the day.

You take a rick, you open yourself up and let words flow out of you. You take a chance, you open yourself and sometimes it doesn't work out. You make a change, you chance people and yourself, once you embrace the words of writing, the words of feelings and then what that things flow, you cant let go.It will be a part of you and i know that i wouldn't change that for the world.

I's never want to do anything else, everyone else is just normal, but me, I'm different because i want to be, i make my own world of insanity and i make what i want to happen in my characters life. I take inspiration from the world around me, from the people i know and i use that in my novels and ideas, draw what you want from the world, don't be scared to scratch away the normality of life, there is always a hidden meaning of the life that you lead and others around you.

Don't be afraid of who you are otherwise there is no point in writing, there would be no point. Have faith in who you are, don't forget who you are inside and who you want to be. I know that telling your family is hard and telling your friends is harder, but take it from me, there are going to be moments that people don't believe. But you know what i say? Stuff what they think that believe, if you want to be a writer then get your ass into gear and do it, because there is nothing better than to write what your heart desires to read.

I was reading a sample from 'The Marriage Of Hell and Heaven' from William Blake.
I have been thinking, I'm not really a religious person so i don't really have views on God and beliefs. But i was reading this nit said that Blake was happy to believe that man was the creator of God.
See that got me thinking, do you think that its possible to imagine such a thing because we don't want to face out own mistakes?

People said that it was the will of the Gods that things happen. But isn't it what we do that predicts the life that we will lead?
Why do we think of such a being from thin air that created us, when there are people who blame him for everything bad that happens in the world?
To me, i think that people blame a God for their own mistakes. I don't know if there is a God, to be honest, i don't really want to know, there are things that are meant to be left unknown, is there is a life after death a life of hate and misery that we call Hell? Or a place so pure its only for the purest of people?
Is there where we came up with the idea of God? Angels and Devils with Demons as their right hand army?

Me being me i get swayed by the simplest things, but in this i am sticking to my guns. In my view there is no God. There is no proof that we walked the earth, too much science has progressed to make me think that anything is different than evolutions made us who we are today.
So, when there are so many different divides amongst the world, have they seen things that are different than what i have? Do they believe in a God because they are too afraid of facing their own fears? Or is it that i am too scared to embrace the purity that we call Our God?

I don't know if God is read or just a fragment of the human imagination, if so then how did i get started?
I have just begun to realise that there are too many questions for one person, there must be others who think the same that can put their comments across so that i have hear your views. Or from people who do believe in a God, it would be very interesting to hear why you believe in a God.
So to all of you who believe and to those who don't, i would be very helpful to hear what you think and feel about my ideas. I would love to hear your ideas and thoughts about this.
Thank you,
J.A.M

I have mentioned before that i am going to do something really sweet from my brother who is going away to University. Well, I thought that I'd keep you all updated and I have finished.

I am ready to get it done and published, but I'm worried, sometimes I get the feeling that my brother doesn't really appreciate things like i would, I don't know if he will like it. I try to reassure myself that things are okay and he will like it. But on occasion, like tonight, i got a serious case of the jitters. To be a writer, I am donating some of my best work towards my brother and i had a serious thought: 'What if he doesn't like it?' I have found that i have asked myself that so many times over the days I've been working on the master piece for him. But the answers keep swirling in my head like a shark in water. All i can do is HOPE and sometimes i have a lack in it.

 I have tried my hardest, but you must know that inspiration doesn't come when asked for, it appears when you never have a bleedin' pen. So i have tried everything. I have walked around my favorite places and my worst. But then I found retreating inside myself in a quiet spot on my own and remember all the good times I've had with my brother instead of the bad I have got to where i am right now. I remember all the laughs and ignored all the arguments. I have remembered everything good about him, but used a few of his bad points, but I'm sure he wont mind.

Well, that's what i did and that's how I have got to where I am right now. But you may ask why i do this for my brother, the answer is this: Without my brother, i wouldn't be who i am today and when i think about all the good points of my life he has been there and i want him to be the star of this one. But then when i think of low points, he is always there to pick me up again when i need him too.

But please, just let me have one last nag before i leave you tonight, i told my parents and they didn't congratulate me on my greatest achievement then were more interested in their program rather than say well done to their child on her biggest moment in life. I sometimes wonder why i bother telling them anything. I don't know if i have don't this because I wanted it, or because i wanted my brother Jake to have it. I just hope o am doing the right thing here for him because I don't think that there is anything else i can give him other than my words in this book for him.

I just wanted to say thank you, again, to E.R,Hardcastle of erhinspired.blogspot.com she has helped me out a few times for this as well. Please look at her blog, i am sure you will feel inspired to go ahead and write something of you own.
Thank you,

Be honest to yourself.

My friend E.R.Hardcastle at erhinspired.blogspot.com has just declared something on her blog. She has asked the following three questions: 
1 Why do you write, really?
2 What motivates you to write the genre you've chosen? Is it a natural talent or have you studied? 
3 If someone told you that you couldn't write tomorrow, what would you say? How would you build you case to prove that the world would be at a loss if you didn't? 

These three questions have got me thinking. i am going to answer the questions. These questions are made to get you thinking about honesty to yourself and others. 

I write because i want to be somewhere where no one can dictate how write something, how to make someone. There is no one to tell me how to live, I create a world that is almost fair, there needs to be a little but of restriction, or else there would be no story there. I write because it lets me relax, to find who I really want to be, to be someone who I have always wanted to be. I write because I have found a world better than ours that contains monsters, demons, vampires, werewolves and so much more. The good guys, the bad guys, the bad guys they are actually good guys. I could go one forever. But all of the above are the reasons why I write.
            My motivation comes from the world I live in, the way that people act around other, and the way that the sun sets in front of me. I take everything from the world. The world gives me everything that I need. I just need to way to express that and that’s where writing comes in to it. My motivation is the idea of escaping Earth and into someone else’s in my writing.
            If someone told me that I couldn’t write tomorrow I would do everything humanly possible to show that it was a bad idea. I would shout at the person to say that they were mad. I wouldn’t sleep until I proved my point. I would write everything that comes in to my head, (and that people is a lot of stuff) I would turn everything I have got in to something amazing. I would create something that people would love to read. I would build a case so strong that no one could fight against. If I couldn’t do that, then what would be the point in my writing? If I couldn’t me a strong case then I would be lost.
            I put my heart and soul into writing and what you read of it, is my heart talking to you.

Answer the questions reply to this through comments or email, it would be great to hear what people have to say about this.
Thank you E.R.Hardcastle of erhinspired.blogspot.com for inspiring of my honestly.

I am currently in year eleven with a brother who is going to university very soon. Like the end of this school year. Ahh!
This is good and bad, i love my brother and want him to have a good time, but i don't want him to either because i will miss him a lot. Yeah, we fight, we are brother sister!
But, i was thinking on Friday, what could i do for my brother? well i have come up with an idea, i am going to publish a poem/passage book for him. I want to show him how much i care for him. I have found the biggest thing i am going to do, my novel that i am doing is big, but it's for me, for my own accomplishments. This is big because its for my brother, for someone i love to pieces.
I am scared about this, i want it to be as good as it can possibly be. I have been working on it for some time now. I have also got a few of his closest friends in on it. Just a few words from them to round it off. But the rest will be from me. But this is solely on me.

If you have any thoughts about this then please tell me. I need this to work; I love my brother a Hell of a lot. I don't think that i have said it enough times. I just hope that he appreciates it, i really hope that he does.
Thank you,
J.A.M

So, E.R.Hardcastle and i have a challenge for each other and for you fellow readers. This is designed to get your creative streak going. WE are going to use the tracks of 'Science and Faith' from The Script to produce a poem. The album has ten of the most amazing tracks and the awe inspiring lyrics.

I have been thinking about it for a while not and i think that this fits the bill for a poem, please leave comments of your own.

Trust me, like you trust Science and Faith.
Nothing will happen to you.
I am a dead man walking if you leave me.
If you walk away,
It wont be for the first time.
The exit wound wont heal.
You will be long gone and moving on because i could catch you up.
This=Love; Forever!
You wont feel a thing if you come back to me my love.

E.R.Hardcastle has also so posted one on her blog, please find her because it's worth seeing. Trust me on that. She is the one who has been there helping me every step of the way with my editing, I couldn't have got this far with out her.
So just for you, i am broadcasting my thanks to you.
