Okay, I finished my English story.

YAAAAAAAY!

It's almost 3000 words long, and it's really ramble-y. I DON'T KNOW I'm really bad at writing stories, I really have like no plot, and my story tends to be more tell than show. There are some places where I find this moment of brilliant inspiration! but it's not in a crucial part of the story. Which also reminds me of the fact that I tend to focus too much on the unimportant parts. I spent too much on the setting up/buildup of the main starting idea, rather than on how it affects the rest of the story. *sigh*

My story's basically about this girl, Annabella, who wants to be a writer. She has like this sad past or something, that I don't really go into detail about, because the only important thing is that she wants to go to a better future instead of staying in the past. Anyway, she's writing this novel she's working on, and she writes about her character, Christine. Oddly, Christine's life starts to be mirrored in hers. She then realizes that and takes advantage of it, creating her perfect life she wants. But one day, it all backfires. She asks for something (being a good writer) and it doesn't work. She's relying too much on the computer, and that one time it didn't work, she freaks out and spends all of her time trying to fix it (because then she tests more things and realizes that the computer has just totally broken down). Slowly, everything she created starts to fall apart, because she's withdrawing from them (like the EBA deposits from The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens! WHOAAAAA!) She goes back to her past, and rewrites her future, once again.

(The title of the story is Once Again. Ending with "once again" is supposed to make the reader go "OHHHHHH!" like that moment in a book when the title finally makes sense, but I don't think I did it very effectively, because there's pretty much no reference or foreshadowing to that at all. I cry :'( because of my terrible story-writing skills.)

It doesn't make very much sense. My plot's really scattered, it has too many rambley and unnecessary things when it should be more devoted to the point. *sighs* Here's something I can try to improve on.

Still, I really love that satisfied feeling when you write a good story, and there's a twist or something confusing or whatever, and  you watch people's faces when they go OHHHHHH MY GOODNEEEEEES and they get it! (And I'm just like, "OH YEAH!" *fist pump*)

I know I've posted it before, but this is such a perfect image to describe that feeling:
