I like English, and Graphic Arts. But in English, I feel sort of intimidated. Sometimes I do not know if I can write some good stories. I know what I want to write, then I get on the computer and my mind goes blank lol.

^^The writing thing is sxactly the same with me. I know what I want to write for my story(ies), but when it comes to actually typing it up, I struggle putting thoughts into words quite a lot. I guess its because I create my own little world for my stories, and when it comes to writing it, I try and show the readers as much of the world I've made as I can while telling the story, and I often fail.
I still like English lessons though. The teacher for them is awesome too.

Ah, you have the same thing as me, but my problem is with drawing. I used to be brilliant (or was lauded as such, at least), but then lost all confidence and now nothing inside my head ever ends up right on the paper. I've long since given up.

That is exacly how I feel! It's horrible. I mean, I have this really awesome story to cook up, but I get it on paper and it just isn't the way I wanted it to be. I tried typing it out one day, and I looked back on it. It was weird, because it sounded so good in my head, then I when it was typed, it looked horrible lol. Anyone have a cure for this? lol

Pretty much every author I've ever read about on that topic says that their first draft is always horrendous. The difference between an author and someone who merely wants to be one is that the former writes without caring how it is, knowing (s)he can fix it the next time round.

That said, I've never been able to put that theory to practice. I've always wanted to write but I've never really been able to transform my ideas into actual prose.

I SO agree with Glukinator. I also like math, but my teacher sucks.

I know Nate, transforming ideas into prose is VERY hard. I am never writing an Oddworld fanfiction again :D

Yeah well my English teacher is a psychobitch. She always pisses me off and she's small and has a lot of muscles. **COUGH** STEROIDSGENDERPROBLEMS **COUGH**

It's Biology now, if you haven't realised from the lessons I've been giving in other threads. ;)

It used to be Art, but for some reason I ended up dropping it! AAAAAAAARGH! *head explodes, slumps forward onto keyboard*

Somehow you ended up dropping it? Well, I can't imagine how that could be..

Bullet Magnet 05-15-2006 07:59 AM

It came to a toss up between Art and graphics. I had already taken both subjects for the past two GSCE years, and the amount of coursework from them both nearly killed me. Someone persuaded me to take Graphics, and I just finally finished the fourth project in a row doing essentailly the same thing at aprogressively higher standerd. Not a day goes by when I don't wonder, what if?

For instance, I might be going into Animation instead of marine biology, although that's still an option. I think Gautam Babbar of OWI studied Marine Biology before he learnt animation and joined Oddworld...
