About Me

The Shire epitomizes what the world should be. A place of happiness and peace. The greatest arguments should be about how much food one can eat, or who gets to host the next party. People should listen to the music of the world, and care less about the differences in each other.

In which I begin to write...again.

For the longest time I've wanted to get back into writing.
Everything from fanfiction to original stuff. I think it's really important to cultivate a love of literature in every generation, and a large part of learning to love reading, is learning to love creating and being a part of new worlds. People, especially Children, have to be able to fully immerse themselves in these new worlds. You don't have to be a child to learn to love to read. You can start at any age, at any time.

People who hate reading as a whole, are silly. Once they find the right book for them, I'm sure they'd be just as in love with reading as I am. Anyone who says they hate reading, haven't found the right book yet.

I've begun by writing two short stories and one novel. I've only begun plot work, world creations, character info, etc., but I can already feel the story weaving itself. It's exciting seeing myself sit for an hour and get all these pieces of papers set about me with a new world.
I've only written on a few lined pieces of paper, but I think I'm going to invest in a notebook for this. I don't want to lose anything important!

I'm glad that I started to write again, I can feel my creativity spreading, and I can feel myself feeling like I've been accomplishing something, which I haven't felt in a really long time. It's a good feeling.

In which I admit to tears.

I admit it, I cried. I cried like a baby.
I bawled through the whole thing.

Some scenes I don't even remember watching because I was too busy wiping away my tears.

Of course with every movie, there were differences between the book and the film, but that does not make the movie any worse or any better than the book. This movie was brilliant.

I can't remember a single moment when there weren't tears in my eyes. The movie skipped some scenes I thought were important, but for the most part, they were spot on.

The acting was brilliant, the shots were splendid, and the themes remained true.

We see Neville finally rising to take his place, the potential that Dumbledore saw in him, the courage he always held.

We see the relationships and the breaks and the wonders of magic.

The opening scene, the ending scene, the prologue. It was all just... bloody brilliant, and I have nothing more to say about the movie.

I've waited 11 years for this moment ( as some have waited for 14 ), and it was worth the wait. Harry will never leave us behind, so long as we choose to keep him in our hearts, always. Until the very end.
