I am a writer at heart. I don\u2019t always have time to write as much as I want, but when I do find a few moments, I immediately feel much more relaxed. If I\u2019m going to be stranded on some random island for a year, I know I\u2019m going to need something to do with myself lest I go insane with boredom. This is where my writing ability would come in handy; not only will it keep me occupied for 365 days, but the new and different storylines will provide me a constant source of entertainment as I scramble to decide what\u2019s going to happen next. While my DVD, item, and book decisions were difficult, I think I finally found the most beneficial combination.<\/p>\n

There is only one movie that I have always loved: The Princess Bride. I may not seem like such a softie on the outside, but the mushy love story between Westley and Buttercup make my insides bubble with glee every time I watch the film.<\/p>\n

The supporting characters aren\u2019t bad, either: Inigo\u2019s infamous, \u201cYou killed my father, prepare to die,\u201d mantra excites me every time I hear it, and I swear that Fezzik could make even a pre-ghost-visited Scrooge laugh. Besides, who doesn\u2019t want to watch Cary Elwes prance about in a Dread Pirate outfit for a few hours? But I digress. The Princess Bride is the first \u201cadult\u201d movie I remember watching, and I\u2019m one hundred percent sure that this story is what inspired me to start writing; this basic storyline can be seen in almost all of my early \u201cbooks,\u201d though some of the names were changed\u2026 mostly just to \u201cButtercup and Wes\u201d or \u201cBell and West.\u201d The Princess Bride is absolutely going to come with me to that island, whether or not I have a player with which to watch it \u2013 it can just act as silent inspiration if I can\u2019t actually view the film.<\/p>\n

My DVD was an immediate decision, but my item was not so easy for me \u2013 what I really want to take is pencil and paper, but that would constitute two things, which is against the rules. I suppose I cheated a little; I don\u2019t actually own what I want to take with me, but I hope to own it soon. There\u2019s a laptop called a \u201cportable word processor\u201d that does nothing but run Microsoft Word \u2013 no internet, no games, nothing. I imagine that I\u2019ll have an endless amount of time on this island, something I lack now. I would definitely use that time to get at least one of my millions of ideas on paper (or in print, to be specific), and in order to do that, I need something with which to write, and something to write on \u2013 sand will merely wash away, and I feel that carving my story into stone would be much more work that it\u2019s worth. For me, the word processor (with a fully-loaded, fully-charged battery, of course) is the way to go.<\/p>\n

My book choice was by far the hardest decision; I literally have my own library of books and, unless a Kindle is allowed, choosing just one was nearly impossible. After much thought, I decided that if I were writing my own stories, there really wouldn\u2019t be a need for someone else\u2019s fiction, so I took all those out of the pile\u2026 which left me with only three books: two on how to write and one on the history of pirates. Though the pirate one may be a good thing to have on my little island, I decided instead to take Stephen King\u2019s On Writing, a work that contains both his autobiography and an overview on what he believes makes a good, if not spectacular, writer. On Writing is both satirical and informative, and because I plan to start \u2013 and finish, for that matter \u2013 a novel or two while I\u2019m on the island, this handy-dandy little book will certainly be useful.<\/p>\n

Part of me \u2013 oh, who am I kidding, all of me \u2013 is dying to go on this trip now, because it\u2019s just what I need: time, freedom, and peace. Unfortunately, it\u2019s fictional and impossible, so my personal Fantasy Island is just going to have to reside in my head for now, waiting until I can drop in for a few hours in order to write. When I do find that time, I know for sure that The Princess Bride, a portable word processor with a spectacular battery life, and On Writing are coming with me.
I just hope I don\u2019t run into a band of pirates.<\/br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
