How to write what people want to read.

How do you write what people actually want to read?

When I write, I write what I feel and I write from the heart and directly from my head. I get a good coffee high and write. I don’t write what most people write about. I write mostly about my life and being shot in the head. No one on here, wants to be shot in the head by a gun. It is not a glamorous life. You loose friends, limbs, and the ones that still come around are the true friends because believe me. It is hard to maintain true friendships. Especially, when I was on a pill for seizures called Tegretol. I had no life, but my bed. So, writing from that perspective makes me a little different because they are not very many people walking around with a bullet in their head. So, I hope what I write is unique enough to keep most coming back to my blog. Some will read what I write and some others will pass on what I write. The thing that matters, is that it is pertinent information. Thank you for reading. Have a nice night.

Had to move quickly

What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?

I was going to get kicked out of the place I lived in before I moved here because the landlord wanted more for the rent. I couldn’t afford it. So, I had to move. I was desperate to get out of the place I was in before I moved here because the landlord was going to charge me the new price for the place. So, I came here and I decided to move here out of desperation. It was spontaneous, but it was a good move. I pay only one bill for rent and utilities. So in essence, I only have two bills to pay besides food, which are rent and cell phone bill. I have other bills, but they are the main ones. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

Time for self-care

How do you make time for self-care?

Self-care is one of those things that has to be done everyday, no exceptions. If it is done right. It should be part of your routine as soon as I get up. I make coffee for energy and to help with my depression. Coffee makes me happy. Then, I eat an apple and yogurt for more energy. I brush my teeth and take a shower. I shave for self-care also. Then, I work on the cellphone for a few hours. I eat a salad for nutrition. Then, I play my drums, so I am not so angry about my injury. Then, when it is time for bed. I put on lotion. Then, I go to bed for about eight or nine hours. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

No place like home!

What’s a place you visited that felt like home?

There really is no place like home because I can roam around in my underwear, if I want to. I can go to bed when ever I want to. I can sleep in my own bed. I can get up whenever I want to on the weekends. So there is no place like home. The place above symbolizes a place that is not home. Thank you for reading. Have a nice night.

This what I wish i would have done.

What’s one thing you wish you had started doing earlier in life?

I wish I told this guy to fuck off earlier in my life because he always got me into trouble, stealing mail, making fires, stealing from stores. Then he proceeded to shoot me in the head and ruined my life. So, I wish I would have ran away from this man a long time before he shot me in the head. Hopefully, he gets his because my family did not press any charges against him because he was family. Thank you for reading. Have a nice night.

This is my lifelong companion

If you could pick any fictional animal to be your lifelong companion (like a Pokémon or fantasy pet), what would it be?

This is an Ewok from Star wars Return of the Jedi. He would be my life long companion because he knows how to dance. I could play the drum set and he could play the bongos, which would be great. He would be great company also. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

This is one of my favorite fictional characters

If you had to switch lives with a fictional character for a week, who would you choose?

Every Saturday morning, I used to watch Looney tunes and eat Kellogg’s Corn flakes. I loved watching the Roadrunner and Wiley Coyote because Wiley could never figure out a way to eat the Roadrunner. He would build these elaborate traps to trap the Roadrunner and all of them would fail. He would fall down a cliff or a mountain. So, his famous words were back to the drawing board.

So, for a week, I could live the life of the Roadrunner and be able to run away from Wiley Coyote and watch him plummet off a cliff or a mountain. It would be great fun sticking my tongue out and quickly run away from Wiley Coyote. Just running that fast to avoid his traps would be fun. Thank you for reading. Have a good night.

This villain

Have you ever liked a villain more than the hero? Who and why?

In silence of the lambs there was a villain named Dr. Hannibal Lecter ( Anthony Hopkins) who cannibalized people, that they had to put a mask on him so he would not eat anyone. He was being interviewed by Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster, the hero) to assist the authorities in catching another serial killer,  Buffalo Bill. Buffalo Bill would kidnap, starve, and skin the women and construct a suit for himself. So, the audience and I  started liking Dr. Hannibal Lecter more than Clarice Starling from the stand point that he helped them catch Buffalo Bill, take him in custody and put him behind bars. Thank you for reading. Have a nice night.

The longest book

What’s the longest book you’ve ever read?

Well I could say I read one of these books, but I haven’t at all. I have read a number of books for school and college, but some of them weren’t very long at all. I think the longest book I have ever read is Around the Next Courner because the words were bigger than in other books. It made reading the book more enjoyable because I didn’t have to squint at the words. The book was written by Elizabeth Wren. It is a story about a woman who is going through  empty nest syndrome. All her kids are growing up. Her oldest son is already in college and her other two are in high school. She is a stay at home wife, while her husband works at a clinic. She decides to take in a dog and train it for the blind. So, the whole book follows her around teaching the dog and training the dog how to be an obedient dog. So, in two years she will be able to relinquish the dog to a blind person. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

This is my absolute best thing I could give to people younger than me.

What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?

Nowadays, people get into trouble really quickly without thinking of the consequences of their actions. The best advice I can give to someone younger than me, would be abstract thinking. It is asking what if in any situation they are in. If I knew abstract thinking before I got shot. I would have probably not gotten shot. The cousin manipulated me to go down to the river with him, where he shot me in the head. So, if I asked the question what if I get shot in the head or shot period. I probably would not have gone.

So younger people have to know about abstract thinking and asking what if in any situation they are in. If a friend asks them to go and rob a bank with them. They just need to ask what if we get caught and they put us in jail. Then, he can kindly say no. Abstract thinking will keep them out of trouble, just asking that basic question in any situation they are in, what if. It would have saved me years of heartache. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.
