Hello....Or, My Inklings Name Is Emily Dickinson

Posted in Posted by Emily Dickinson

Hello everyone. My name is Throughtheblack, or as I like to call myself, Emily Dickinson. As you can probably see, I'm new to Beginning Writers, so if you have any pointers or things that I should know as a member, that would be great.

 

Ah, yes. About myself....

 I like to write poetry from the 18th and 19th centuries, while my stories are usually during the present.

 

The story that I am currently working on takes place in the near future. The main character is a young woman named Elsie Lewis, and she is a very strong, independant girl. For this story, she needs to be. The three bests words to describe Elsie are  unconventional, caring, and extremely passionate about people and matters that she cares about. She is the one person that is so very shy and emotiona, but she tries her very best to put up a front to hide it.

 

The last time I had inspiration for this story was while reading The Host by Stephanie Meyer, and before that, was while reasing Quillian Games by D.J. MacHale. Also, the current happenings in our own world have sparked a flame of inspiration. It's kind of hard for me to describe where the inspiration came from. I think it's from all of the underground members of a society that they truely believe in, that they would give their lives for, to sacrifice their time to. It hit me that certain members of society may be forced to do that- live in a  secret underground society where no outsiders can know of it, or else it could mean the death of hope. It could bring around a horrible change, one of devastation.

 

*Laughs* I listen to all kinds of music while writing or brainstorming. Sometimes will always be like Snow Patrol, Capital Lights, and Coldplay, but sometimes I get frusterated. SO then the heavier music comes on.....

 

The book or movie that mostly inspired my story....*hmm*. Definitely The Quillian Games. Very good book. Not too many movies that inspired it.

 

I started on my story, uh, *counts on fingers* about two month ago.

 

I definitely think better while laying down.  All  of my thoughts some while I'm trying to sleep. Very bothersome sometimes. But other times, I'll rush down and grap my pen and write furiously.

 

What place inspires me most......*hmm*. You know, that's a good question. I think the old town that we live nearby. All of the history of it, it just brings so many images in my head. Pretty much any old, empty place full of history. But it figures, we don't have too many of those.

 

So, I'll be posting some of my poems on here, hoping to get critique and comments on it, as I am always trying to find a way to improve on my writing style.
