No Title

No title. Most Recent. My life.

Get it? It pertains to this post.

For those that don't... I recently came across a story of Hemingway that entirely revolutionized the opinions that I had for him. I used to not like his writing because it was so simple. He had no spice, no challenges. It was all simple, and for some reason I didn't like that. People like Faulkner, who you couldn't understand, excited me because you would have to really think to understand what he is saying. There is a sense of critical imagination with his writing. But with Hemingway... nothing.
Anyway I became so infatuated with Hemingway recently because of one single story that I heard from my SAT writing teacher at a studying class that I do every Saturday (I may have mentioned this in previous posts).
The story contained six words, "For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never Worn." Back when Hemingway was still a premature writer, there was a newspaper contest where the newspaper would publish one short story and help that writer get known to the public. There were thousands of long short stories (yes ironic I know), but Hemingway constructed this six word short story that told a whole story in six words. Only six words were necessary to tell a story, and Hemingway won the contest with his famous six word short story.
Okay, I was absolutely mind blown by this story. I was so amazed that instantly, I found a new respect for Hemingway. I don't know why, but I thought it was genius. This is my favorite short story because it made a huge impression on me. I never even thought this would be possible... It was perfect.

Okay now for the part that actually relates to this post.
Honestly, I really haven't getting anywhere in my life right now. I promise myself that I would do somethings with Art, Music, Studies, and Working out. I've been getting lazy lately and I really hate it. But I feel like there is nothing I can do about it. Its just that I want to do it, but I never do. Solutions? anyone? I really need to figure myself out. This summer wasn't as productive as I planned it out to be. Shenron? My wish? Make me productive.
