Hello!

I want to write something, anything. A story. Maybe something Inheritance inspired. Maybe I'll make Eda show me that scene in the Hobbit.

I want to start writing now, just throw in some words, turn it into a story, and feel satisfied. I want to feel like I've done something useful, happy, fulfilled.

But I'm forcing myself not to, because I have too much homework to do, and I get distracted enough already. Maybe if I work hard and finish everything, then I might have time to write.

Some observations before I dive into my sea of assignments:
My writing style—haha, we talked about style today!—changes temporarily whenever I read a new book and like it. For instance this is happening with Inheritance. It happened with The Fellowship of the Ring, it happened with Brisingr, Percy Jackson, etc.
This doesn't only affect my story writing, it affects my speech too. I remember saying thing like "Farewell." or "I shall not go to horse riding today, for I am too lazy." to my friends on Skype right after finishing Brisingr—and I had read LOTR two weeks before.
A friend just asked me where something was, and I replied "It is to my right." instead of saying "It's right next to me, dude."
See what I mean?

Also, something that scares me: an author could make years pass with only 3 words. So if you're reading this extremely exciting part of a book, they could just skip a couple years and leave you staring at the book like..."Er...WHAT DID YOU JUST DO WHAT HAPPENED WHY DID YOU JUST DO THIS OH GOD WHY? WHAT HAPPENS NOW? WHAT HAPPENED?"
Of course this hasn't happened to me yet, but that would be my exact reaction if it did.

Anyway, Inheritance is awesome, but it's getting a little (by that I actually mean very) disgusting.

He killed my favorite character. Mr. Paolini, I am disappointed. My favorite character ALWAYS dies.
10 pages before his death, I got this bad feeling. I though 'Please don't die...please don't die...'. And then that moment came, he burned to his death, I threw the book on my bed and had a little... outburst of anger?

Every time I read something about Eragon, this wave of thoughts crashes through my mind, roaring "Character development! Character development! Character development!" Thank you, Mr. Paolini! In the first book the only thing Eragon did was ask questions, but now he's so awesome! But of course, he's 16? Really?

Totodilekid97: I mean it when I say it's worth it when you read Brisingr! Don't give up on Eragon, go read it! Eldest is where the action starts, so get to it! Then Brisingr is just AWESOME, and since you like blood and violence you'll love Inheritance. READ. I COMMAND YOU.
