So from time to time, you get this incredible idea in your head and no matter what you do you just can't seem to shake it. So you have to get it down on paper/computer. Whether that means through a story or through a drawing is up to you and your own personal strengths/preferences.

This is how I felt about my story concerning Vaan and that Ragora. The idea had been running around in my head for a couple of days and I just couldn't let it go. So I decided to sit down and see if I could make it into a story.

I feel like this particular story is my most successful (mind you, my personal opinion holds little value). Not only was there a good story to it, but there was also a good deal of tickling involved and it just seemed to flow fluidly from my fingers. Unlike some of my other stories, it didn't feel forced-the story came so easily.

Why am I writing this journal? Idk, I guess first and foremost as a means of self-appreciation; but secondly, to encourage others who want to express themselves to just do it. I always tell people if they have a writer's block to take a break from what they are writing and focus on something else. I mean, you could even just start writing about something totally different or draw a totally different picture. Anything to free up your creative juices and help new ideas to enter the mind.

So yeah, if you took the time to read this, I hope you weren't too bored or annoyed with my self-righteousness. Thanks for all the support and favs! I appreciate it all!
