    		 Hey guys! I've only written two articles so far, but both went off well. I love to write, but I just don't have much time. I'm currently a live in nanny for the Summer which gives me the time, but I've only got two weeks left before I have to find another job and a little more than a month before I go back to college. Which means I probably won't have time to write another article until a holiday.

    That being said I want to make my last article of the Summer something really great. I'm just completely uninspired when it comes to topics. So anyone have any advice? I obviously want to do something original, I'm a child of the 90's and late 80's (which I remember little of) and I don't mind sharing personal experiences I'm just not sure what to write about.

    A few topics I've considered:
    - The cartoons of my childhood and how they influenced me.
    - My experience with video games growing up and the various systems and games I played.
    - The cartoon characters that inspired me to draw and that helped bring about the passion for art I now have.

    I'm open to any and all suggestions. :)

      		 Well all 3 of those topics would fit well into a article! You could explain how both video games AND cartoons influenced you, and how they gave you a passion for art.

        		- My experience with video games growing up and the various systems and games I played.

        This one might be nice, just as long as you actually sound like you're remembering your memories, rather than just stating what the game's like in a monotone voice, a la DalmationLover.

            		 Boring, what is this boring word?

            Aha no worries I definitely will not be producing a list. I like to have a narrative when writing, and to paint a picture for my readers. I'll definitely be doing the gaming one Gaming is still a pretty big part of my life and it just feels right. Thanks guys hopefully the article will be coming within the next week or so once I find the time to start and polish it! :)

              		 HINT: Read DalmationLover's SNES Memories and Genesis Memories, you'll see what we were talking about.

                		 No worries.

                1. I don't do countdowns in that sense.
                2. I write... a lot.
                3. I won't be doing it like a Wikipedia article.

                It's going to be very story-like.

                  		 *claps* Good to know, good to know. Just don't make references to Internet Boy Toy James Rolfe, AKA the Angry Video Game Nerd, like she does, and you'll be just dandy. We look forward to reading your article.
