Ok, my first ever blog entry, thought into existence while commenting on someone else's blog, and deciding to make my comment into an entry. So, here goes...*drum roll*
Sigh.
I find it damn near impossible to write about happy stuff. Turmoil, depression, conflict ect always seem to be more real and interesting both to read and write, and really, who wants to hear about fluffy little bunnies making fwends in sunny, beautiful meadows and living in harmony with the other animals, pools of clear, unpolluted water to drink from and an abundance of sweet, pesticide-free lettuce kindly laid out by the friendly farmer who exists only to make sure no one goes hungry?
Not me.
I like interesting situations where you actually don't know if it's going to work out all right in the end, and you start actually worrying about your favourite character because the plot isn't all predictable, safe and happy, and you know there's a good chance that the troubled, disturbed yet still endearing (because of his flaws!) will lose the girl, end up on the run because no one believed he wasn't the murderer, or (Shock! Horror!) die!
Just my opinion, though. No offence intended to the writers of "Fluffy's Fwends: A Bunny's Tale of Sunny Days and Flowers"

So what your trying to say is that a mass bunny murdering fox in a polluted shit hole of a world is more your style...?
