Shannon now has her own writing journal so she won't clutter friends-lists of people who aren't interested. If you would like to be added, you can add me and I'll probably notice, or you can leave a message on any post here or in my main journal, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) daimeera. Fanfiction will (almost always) be available for public viewing. Original fiction and essays, however, will not. If you would like to be added to the list of those who can access my original fiction and essays, you must abide by the following: 1.) You are not to distribute my writing in any form without my permission. This includes taking a copy and emailing it to a friend--if they want to see it that badly, they can ask to be added. 2.) You cannot copy my work. This goes for everything posted in this journal. My writing belongs to me, even if the characters sometimes don't. If you steal, I WILL make your life a living hell. I'm a very good stalker when I need to be. 3.) You may quote me if you so desire (although I'm not sure why you'd want to) but quotes cannot be more than a few paragraphs, and must be attributed to me. If for some odd reason you'd like to include any quotes in schoolwork or other submitted material, I would appreciate being notified. If you intend to quote me or refer to my writing in any work that will be published online, you must contact me and request permission. In other words, don't do anything that violates my rights. The reason I put such a major emphasis on distribution of original fiction and essays is because by distributing these things, first rights are forfeited. This means that publication of such writing will be near impossible. If you are an author, you would be wise to research these laws for your own knowledge and well-being. That said, enjoy! I'm really not a nasty or strict person, so don't be scared off, mmkay? If you want to be able to access my original writing, you must let me know. Otherwise, you'll be added to my friend list, but not to my all-access group.

Ever want to write so badly but you're terrified to? When something beautiful inspires me, I want desperately to create something equally beautiful and inspired but I'm almost paralysed by the fear of instead creating something ugly. I'm listening to Christmas music right now, Sarah McLachlan's Silent Night, to be specific. And it's so soft and peaceful and perfect that I just want to melt away in it and become it and BE the beauty. I want to create but I don't know what to write or how to write it. And then, just like that, Feliz Navidad comes on and I don't care anymore. Just seconds ago I was despairing and now it's not so important to me. It's amazing what beauty can create. I wonder if musicians are ever inspired by a beautiful piece of writing? I wonder if--I desperately hope--I will eventually be able to inspire someone the same way I love to be inspired. Because humour is fun. I like writing my humour although it terrifies me in a different way. But in the end, it comes down to the beauty. And I don't want to leave this world without making my mark on it, making it a little nicer. I just hope I can. I hope I can be satisfied with my own creations. So this wasn't exactly writing, but it seemed appropriate for a writing journal, no? Tags: beauty, inspiration, writing
