Greetings readers and welcome to Folio, the blog of Fandescript! Happy Earth Day to all! Readers, writers, and fans alike, I thank you for your constant visitation of our website and hope you have enjoyed Fandescript's daily animal facts! I hope that the information presented to you over the past couple of days has been enlightening and also peaked your curious minds to delve deeper into the world of not just our animal friends, but into the world of nature itself. Over the past couple of days during my research in presenting these animals to you, I learned more about the creatures you see here on this website and found a commonality that we share amongst them, though I am sure there are many to name. We all share our portion of trail, hardship, and joys in this life: whether man or beast. Think about it.
The mother zebra whose foal was snatched by predators simply for food. The mother who has lost her son or daughter to life's circumstances, be them economical, social, mental etc. The pack of wolves that face the cold kiss of winter's chill endeavoring to survive in the icy wilderness against all odds. The family that struggles, mother and father, (sometimes either or) to keep a roof over their children's head facing mounting bills with low income. The joy when a new calf is born to a mother water buffalo and the joy a mother feels when she brings another human life into the world. I present these examples to you as a symbol to show that we all go through hard times and seasons of pain as God's creatures. Separated by our genus/species and other matters, we still collectively face challenges whether in the classroom, courtroom, job, or on the savannah, tundra, or jungle. The old saying is true. It really is a jungle out there. But just as the camel pushes on through the dry desert sands, so must we. Just as the wildebeest migrate by the thousands in search of greener pastures facing predators and surmounting odds of death, so must we trek on. As some of our animal friends are facing extinction, yet they bounce back with the help of conservationists and wildlife refuge efforts of organizations across the globe, so must we rebound back from the circumstances and situations we face daily with the help of one another. Maybe in this light, we can see that we're not so different from those who we share this planet with and hopefully preserve this home for generations to come which will one day share it its trials, tribulations, and utter triumphs despite their race, be them human or animal. It is our nature for we all have instincts. Happy Earth Day!

Greetings readers and welcome to Folio, the blog of Fandescript! Greetings readers, writers, and fans alike! I hope you've enjoyed our fun animals facts posted online in honor of this coming Earth Day 2013! If you haven't checked out our facts, please do so. There is something that we all can learn about the wild and those creatures with whom we share this planet with. I assure you, you WON'T be disappointed!
To my writers today, I pose this question: If your stories and characters had a life of their own, outside of the written page, what would they say and how would they live? Would they speak out of the own mannerisms, character flaws, and paradigms that you the author have created for them or would they have their own voice? Could you recognize your own work if lets say the villain in one of your works walked past you in the mall, or at the job, or anywhere on the street? Would you want to recognize the character as your own or would you pass this off as a mere hallucination? Perhaps you met this figure of your imagination and had a conversation with them on their fears, joys, passions, trials, and journeys of life. Would you believe what they had told you, given the truth that you had written everything about them from their description, integrity (or lack thereof), conflicts, beauty, etc. Could it move you or would it move you to hear what a manifestation of your mind told you about how they personally felt? Possibly incur fear in your heart? Sometimes we are the composite of our characters that we write about and weave tales, legends, and sagas of in our creative efforts knowingly and unknowingly. "You live long enough to see yourself become either the hero or the villain..." (The Dark Knight) I believe the same can be said in both our own lives and in the lives of the stories we create. They do speak after all. What do you think? As always, I am anxious to hear your responses and welcome your comments...all Greetings readers and welcome to Folio, the blog of Fandescript Have you ever been there? To the edge of your mind where the possibilities are near endless and the things you see bring you such nightmares and joys that you dare question if you're awake or not? Perhaps you yourself are the dream? Maybe living in the mind and imagination of another's thoughts while you experience pain, joy, laughter, danger and other emotions that make life so grand and at the same time, sometimes, so...mysterious and haunting? When you are there, at the precipice's edge of imagination, what do you see? Have you visited it frequently and is it a haven of peace for you or is it a frightening realm of thoughts where only you and you alone are the master? Have been there for so long that you can't tell where reality ends and where fantasy begins? Is it comforting? Is it reflective? Wherever it is, whatever it is, share your ideas on this place. Tell me, where does your imagination take you? To the past, to the future, to the what might have been? Where does the dream take you?
Greetings readers and welcome to Folio, the blog of Fandescript. What makes a great hero or great villain in literature in your opinion? Is it only by description, the situations that they are found in, choices, fates, their given names? Is it the opposition they face in the tale or saga? I'm interested in hearing your thoughts and welcome your comments.
Greetings readers and welcome to Folio, the blog of Fandescript. There is always another part of us that we keep in shadow, hidden from our friends and families to see. The real us. The side that we don't like to show out in front of others due to our own proclivities and indiscretions at social gatherings or events. This side of us could range from our tempers, biased opinions, paradigms or anything that could be deemed unacceptable by social standards, not including our own viewpoints of ourselves. In the creation of these character traits about ourselves, because face it, one way or another---you are somebody's hero or villain, whether you know it or not, we have been molded by circumstance and by choice to obtain the kind of paradigms that have bonded with our natures. The mind and heart of man has been proven to be very dark, savage, and evil throughout the course of history as well as very loving, innovative, and brave. Depending upon whom you may ask about the opinion of the matter, they may tell you a different side of the story. History tends to favor the better opinions as it would suit the masses so to speak. I ask you--reader, writer, dreamer, and vistor of this page--who do you keep in shadow? Is there a side of you that is at war with your other nature? Whether it be your opinion of yourself (visually, mentally, economically, etc), a conscience struggle, self esteem issues, personal belief issues, your emotions, what do you keep in shadow? Does that side of you have a name, if you have given it one? Have you shared this part of you with others (family, friends, etc.) and if so, what were their reactions? Pleas
Greetings readers and welcome to Folio, the blog of Fandescript. What is the difference between a healthy love/desire for something or someone and a obsession? Is there really a difference and if so, what are some of the deciding factors that separate the two? Can they become one in the same, given the intensity that is felt by the other party who loves or is it codependant upon the situation itself? (ie. long distant relationships, a sought after item you wish to buy, a favorite brand, etc.)
Greetings readers and welcome to Folio, the blog of Fandescript.
In honor of Valentines Day, we here at Fandescript will be posting a new blog from Feb 11th-15th about love. Its feelings, consequences, prices, dark sides, good sides, and all that can thought of when the emotion enters our lives and hearts. I encourage you, the reader, to comment, post, and share your thoughts on these ideas with your friends, lovers, and acquaintances. I value your opinions and am curious to your thoughts on these issues. With that being said: let us begin! Can some people suffer hopeless love addictions that produce unintended side effects? Does love of/for someone or/for something drive us to the brink of insanity or push us to the limit of our determination at our our own will or behest? Is it something that is out of our control when it comes down to our emotions or are we forever slave to the passions that drive us. Perhaps both? Greetings readers and welcome to Folio, the blog of Fandescript.
How far are you willing to go to get what you want? Would you compromise your morals to gain what you desire most? Some quest for money, power, fortune and end up selling their souls in the process of it all. Would you do the same in order to survive? Not to have things (cars, opulent wealth, etc) out of greed but to have food, water, home/shelter (some of life's basic needs) would you consider the alternative? Would you judge those who live their lives by such standards? What if the next meal for you (or even a family--i.e. infants especially) depended upon you stealing from someone or selling something? Would you do it and ask for forgiveness later or go without? |
