Welcome, welcome.

You have found your self here: on Ellie's semi-kept-up blog.

Lots of tidbits and nothingness reside here. Don't feel obligated to read anything.

If you're interested, here's a random blog I wrote (+photos) while traveling in New Zealand in 2012: newsieland.wordpress.com

With love,

Ellie

Random Thoughts of The Day

Sometimes I wonder. Why is there war? Why does God encourage it in the Bible? Why are there abortions? Why do wonderful people have to die? Why is there pain? Why is there hurt? Why do people hate one another? Why do people laugh at others pain? Why do people cry? Why do people live? Why do people yell? Scream? Laugh? Dance? Love? Why? Why? Why? Doesn't everybody wonder these things? They discuss and force their thinking's and philosophy's on other people, and then stand back and refuse to join the race until everyone agrees with him/her.

There is a quote that says, "A word is not the same with one writer as with another. One tears it from his guts. The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket." (~Charles Peguy) It's so true. Some people,(such as me) have to work at making their writing sound fluid and believable. Others, its simply natural, like breathing. My question is, is it the ones who work hard, or the ones who it comes naturally to, that are the greatest writers of all time? Who decides whats a classic and whats not, anyway? who decides whats a good book or not? What are they basing the decisions on?

These are just some random words I had to put on the blog. You may find I think randomly. I say things that maybe don't make a lot of sense, but I do think. Believe me.
