Number one: How to describe the word "right" (as in the direction right, not correct right) to a blind man without touching him. Describe it in no matter how long or short, just as long as it isn't tautologous. It took Kuya Mark about five minutes to find an answer to that. It's very mind boggling, and challenging. I tried but I was as tautologous as anything.

Number two: keeping a writer's notebook. It will have an endings section, a beginnings section, and a list of the books that are good examples for such rendering as falling in love (The English Patient---when Ondaatje described Katherine and Almasy's affair), or character description (American Gods), among others. For the moment those two books are the only two I can use as examples because they are the only two I've given enough of my time to in the last few months. It's a very nice feeling to have, the feeling of more fluid translations of thoughts into words due to the recent exposure to figures of speech and nice quotable phrases from reading. The lack of which I've struggled with during my creative writing course last semester. A writer will never be anything without being a reader. Never.

Anyway, I digressed. The Endings section will be a list of random endings that come to me when I'm on a train or half-dreaming on my bed that are fantastic enough to keep for the time being until I'd need it for a story. In the same light will be the Beginnings section. Great ideas that are not full stories yet, but have the potential to be someday when I'm in a better disposition to continue it.

Maybe I should include a phrases section in that writer's notebook. Just nice phrases that pop into my head that are neither an ending or a beginning. Oooh. This excites me. XD
