What off Writing Time is like

 I'm sure some wonder what I do, when I don't write my books. Well, a lot of things, like play chess, read comics, and have History/ Theology discussions. But besides all of this, there are many other things I do including watching Disney's DuckTales.



I have watched the first three seasons of Duck tales and Re-watched them over the past, four years. Duck Tales has been both an inspiration to my work and a fun relaxing time for me when I'm not doing heavy work. The series has is one of my favorite's, and because of my likening of Donald's nephews, I'm sometimes called Dewey. 
I use to think for many years that I was the only person whom actually took inspiration from Disney cartoons, but I was wrong. I took inspiration from The Brave Little tailor, about Mickey Mouse for Peter de Preaux in my series of Kings and Crusaders, probably for the fact that just as Mickey Mouse was the unlikely hero to kill a giant, Peter, was the unlikely hero to fight boldly behind Acre during. the 1191 siege. The humor of Walt Disney's cartoons also balanced my stomach and head from bad stress, when I have much work to do. Therefore, Disney cartoons were my evening watch, to balance my stress. In 2012, I wrote and concentrated on series stuff all the time, and by 2013, I could no longer handle it. After reading advice for writer's block on some websites that same year, I decided to write my stories early in the day, and watch cartoons in the later part of the day. Thus my day was balanced, and I began writing much easier as I was no longer under so much stress. Writing in 2013, became very enjoyable to me, in some ways more than the last year, and ever since this has been my habit. Some cartoons were too stressful, while others were more stupid with no plot. Duck Tales made the good balance, by having good stories and characters, while being relaxing and fun.



Watching series films in the evening most of the time for example, was too serious for me to handle after spending hours and hours on writing, research, and contemplating my story throughout the day, as well as finishing up school and getting my exercise in. Cartoons, particularly Disney's, were the good balance for the evenings. Huey, Dewey, and Louie with their uncle Scrooge, and cousin Webbigail, along with Launchpad Mcquack and Doofus, with their adventures and events in their lives, I watched with my sister Ashley every week. Me and my sister Ashley have many memoirs of Watching Duck Tales in the morning and midday.  
I have advice here for my friend writers, when writing, relax, do things to make you relax, never rush your story, give it all the time you need, and feel your day with lovable and calm and fun things, so that when you write, you have lot's of energy and strength to to put towards it, and never, never, let anyone put your noble work down, as the greatest before you have faced criticism, and handwork to get to the legends that many of them are now. Remember let your work be a masterpiece, as it will be the part of you that lives on to the next generations. 
 Writing is a habit, it requires skill and work, but above all enthusiasm and perseverance, for these will be what keep you going. Our Heavenly Father is the Creator and first artists. Let us make use of his great Creation to make stories and enjoy them. 
As I said, I thought I was the only one whom took from Disney like that, to take inspirational ideas from it and write, but I'm not the only one. Two Disney Duck stories inspired the classic, Raiders of the Lost Ark and it's opening sequence: "The Seven Cities of Cibola"and "The Prize of Pizarro". So even, Disney stories with Donald Duck, can inspire great classics. In my case, Duck Tales and other cartoons were an inspiration to me. By evaluating the cartoons stories, and taking their simple ideas into bigger ones, one can truly began writing some good classics.
