Success

I have successfully written The Boy in Black  and reunited with an old friend I haven't talked to since 2nd grade. Life is good :)

My Lock and Key theory

It's been quite a long time since I've written a blog post. *Doesn't even bother to look at calender* As usual I'm pretty far behind on life. Maybe one of my invisible fans is weeping at reading this because they thought I died. Well fear not invisible fans I am alive! Here is some free philosophy created by me.

Greatness is a lock inside each of us. All locks are different. Some shine brighter than others and some refuse to open no matter how many times you jam the key into them. The journey of life is to find the key. Keys are everywhere in the world but it takes sharp eyes to find them. Some locks are disabled and have a harder time opening than others do. Ocassionaly locks are broken and it may seem completely impossible to find the key. But it's human passion and strength, and failure that moves us forward. The most important thing is driving around the roadbumps to reach the key. Every single lock will eventually open. It just takes work.

For those of you who learn by "touching the fire to see if it's hot" here is watered down translation:
Everyone in the world can be amazing. But that amazing-ness is inside an imaginary box inside of us. (Not literally) The purpose of life is to open the box inside because inside that box is amazing-ness.
Some people have disabilities or deadly conditions and they just have a really really hard time succeeding. But that doesn't matter because I believe that everyone in the world can be absolutely amazing. It just takes support, passion, encouragement, work, and love.

If you are a person who thinks you are useless my purpose in life is to slap you because you are wrong. No one in the world is useless. Every lock opens with a different key.

signs of destiny

Hello world it's Just Jane.
This morning I woke up and mentally said "I wanna be proud of myself". For those of you who don't speak Jane (I think that would be all of you) that translates to "I wanna draw really well or sing really well right now!". Then I thought about many things for a while. For example all my "destenies" are connected. When I write I want to draw. I can't draw without music most of the time. When I hear music it makes me want to play it or sing it. But most normal people of only 1 destiny. (a.k.a 1 career) How can I choose one if all of them are connected? Which is why I want to do all three! But that might take a lot of work. How can anyone go to three colleges and still stay in the same age range? It's not possible. If it is please let me know before I graduate.
Anyway I've been drawing trees lately. Whenever I draw a rally nice tree I say "I'm so proud of myself". That probably sounds kind of selfish but the thing is in the past . . . . long amount of time I've been failing and saying "Jane you're such a failure.".
What's your destiny?

I never thought I would see this day

This is the day I finished my one and only paper success. The Girl in Black! So today my dad had to do a bunch of stuff on my computor to get some kind of program that works with word so that I could print The Girl in Black which I quickly finished last night. So today I printed it and the format was off because of this program but I really don't care because in a moment or so my parents are going to READ my book and be so super proud of me! I do wish I could have finished all of the illustratinos. Oh well the next book will be so much better. Anyway I also realized my heart is in love with the art of music. And being a model is not something I like.

Progress

YES! I have written the ending to "The Girl in Black"! All I need to do is type up two chapters that I missed, add the ending, finish the illustrations, go through the whole thing and check spelling then I need to print it and find some way to bind it. Then after giving out the first signed copies to the people I promised and mentally promised then I can start thinking about selling copies and writing "The Boy in Black". YAHOO!
