Random Short Story Generator
Ok so I was looking up articles about short story writing and I came across this Short Story Generator so I just had to try it and here's how it turned out...
(Oh its a british site apparently so some of the things are really weird and british.)
Title: The Squidgy Teapot
May Butterscotch looked at the squidgy teapot in her hands and felt concerned.
She walked over to the window and reflected on her cosy surroundings. She had always loved deprived Upper Boggington with its ugliest, uneven umbrellas. It was a place that encouraged her tendency to feel concerned.
Then she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Forest Trescothik. Forest was a funny queen with wobbly elbows and squat spots.
May gulped. She glanced at her own reflection. She was a hungry, scheming, squash drinker with vast elbows and charming spots.
Her friends say her as a eggy, evil elephant. Once, she had even helped a crispy injured bird recover from a flying accident.
But not even a hungry person who had once helped a crispy injured bird recover rom a flying accident was prepared for what Forest had in store today.
The drizzle rained like walking foxes, making may unstable.
As May stepped outside and forest came closer, she could see the queenlike glint in his eyes. Forest glared with all the wrath of 5038 admirable resonant rabbits. He said, in hushed tones, "I hate you, and I want a pencil."
May looked back, even more unstable and still fingering the squidgy teapot. "Forest, get out of my house." She replied.
They looked at each other with irritable feelings, like two flabby, few foxes chatting at a very snotting Valentines meal, which had drum and bass music playing in the background and two lovable uncles hopping to the beat.
May studies Forests wobbly elbows and squat spots. Eventually, she took a deep breath. "I'm sorry." began May in apologetic tones, "But i don't feel the same way, and i never will. I just don't hate you Forest."
Forest looked lonely, his emotions raw like a tense, terrible torch. May could actually gear forests emotions shatter into 2503 pieces, Then the funny queen hurried away into the distance. Not even a beaker of squash would calm May's nerves tonight.
THE END
Try making your own if you want a laugh!

Easter
Happy Easter everyone!
I had a wonderful lesson in church today about the atonement. How it is a gift for us, and that we need to actively use it in our lives. Christ suffered so that we wouldn't have too. He offers us a fresh start and we need to be wanting and ready to take it.
This Easter Video shows the many miracles that are possible because of our Savior. Please watch if you have time.
Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer, and can be our friend and confident as well if we simply turn to him.

Beauty
Remember to take the time to appreciate beauty no matter what form it manifests its self in. Doing this can breath new life into you and help you through your life.
To often we can go through our lives with the conveyor belt mind set, everything gets boring and mundane because we are so set on getting... where exactly? That is when we need to remember to look for those beautiful things around us. Beauty surrounds us in so many ways every day. Art, nature, music, writing, people, animals, architecture, FOOD! Just open your eyes!
My personal definition of beauty is anything that makes you go WOW, SIGH, or just smile like a simpleton. Pretty simple right? Here are some things that I find really beautiful.
What is your definition of beauty?

New Writing Books!
Life is great when you have Barnes and Noble gift cards :)
I just got these 3 books for free, and can't wait to read them! I've already started 2 of them and they are really good.
1. Wonderbook, by Jeff Vandermeer
This book so far is very light hearted and fantastical. It feels like it was written like a 5 year old (but in a good way). It talks a lot about creativity and imagination. What they really are and where they really come from. It also has a lot of fun pictures and is very fun to read.
2. Make a Scene, by Jordan E. Rosenfeld
I haven't started this one yet.
3. Writer's Guide to Character Traits, by Linda N. Edelstein
This is like a dictionary of Phycology for writers. It has chapters about personality types, childhood development, phycological disorders, and my favorite criminal types.
Can't offically recomend these books because I don't know if they are going to have anything bad in them but so far I'm really enjoying them.

Kid Forever!
Some days you just need to act like a kid. Growing up can get so serious and stressful that its nice to pretend you are still a kid to blow off steam. Just do whatever comes to your mind, don't filter your ideas because you are supposed to act grown up or mature. Today I ran across the street (yes we waited to cross) hopping on the white lines only. Oh and I danced like a maniac at Theater. Be yourself and don't change for anyone!

Book Recommendation: Character and Viewpoint
Book recommendation:
Character and Viewpoint, by Orson Scott Card
This is just one book of a series of helpful and enjoyable fiction writing books called, The Elements of Fiction Writing. Some of the other books include; Plot, Conflict and Suspense, Beginnings Middles and Ends.
Each book is written by a different author, which is nice because you know this advise is coming from a reliable source. On the down side though not all the authors are very clean in their writing. The only real problem is that some of their writing examples aren't the best.
But they really are helpful books to have and I have visited them time and time again. I strongly suggest you check it out if you are interested in fiction writing.
