I really like the real rigorous stuff, like sonnets, but a little free verse as well. I've got 2 short stories and one screenplay brewing but I usually talk myself out of working on them.

:hug: I look at it this way. I write for myself. If other people like it, great! If they don't :shrug: I just did it because I wanted to

Ok, knock that off!

I was originally going to compare the second book to Koontz/King :ohmy: I shit you not


I was the same way with books, too. At age eleven or so I was reading true crime novels about split personality disorders and satanic cults and horrific murders...
I had a thirst to read, no library easily accesible to me because I lived out in the middle of nowhere, and I read through the books my mom and dad bought me really quickly, often twice. And then I read the comic books. and then I read my brothers comic books. and then I read what my mom was reading, thus the true crime.

I was a little :censored: up in the head for a long time because of those damned books :lmao:

:hug: You so are my clone its just to scary!

I read alot of stuff I shouldn't have including my moms books on nursing from college. I read everything my parents had in the house at one point, so when she wasn't around I read her college books. She was not pleased when she found out. But she was really impressed that I comprehended the stuff. I was in 8th grade. hehe My parents have gotten wiser over the years though and always have extra books on hand when I visit. I don't sleep well when I'm there, so I love to read at night and usually go thru four or five books a week.

YOu sound just like me....I see so many talented writers here...and Sarah is a great one, too...she wants to write for a living...that I just feel like "yeah, this is my crap contribution...".


Ugh.
I don't know what possessed me to keep writing caps for you girls. It's utterly uncharicteristic of me. I avoid sharing my work at all costs, unless I can have some sort of anomnimity.........partially because in some papers/essays/whatever, I get a little persoannal, and I wouldn't care if the teacher read it, but the idea of other students (we would have these in class editing sessions where we exchanged work), people I know reading it? :yikes:
 
VP- You can always share your writings with me; it takes all sorts of styles of writing . (See previous post to Eles) :)

Eles, it's your personal decision with who and when you share what you write. I posted in DOL because I didn't know anyone there, and I like that. But at the same time, I really love being able to share things I write with my girls here. it's a totally different experience

Russty - I don't doubt you have had a poem published, you have a poetic spirit

That's like me...I've read voraciously since I was a wee thing. Unfortunately, school has f'd that up for several years now...but now that I have some free time, I currently have Satanic Verses and The Screwtape Letters here waiting. :) I also want to work my way through Ulysses this sunmer. :yikes:

:hug: :heart: SG, thank you! That is the sweetest thing anyone has said to me in a very long time. I take that as a very high compliment. <putting that one away in my heart to pull out later> :D

VP I have three books waiting for me as well, that I've been dying to read. My friend Lori was reading a book called Ireland the other day at her shop that I'm also interested in. She said it was a great, a sort of history book with fun thrown in.

My parents have a very well-used set of encyclopedias from when I was little. Also a home medical dictionary which I think I memorized... I used to read the books which were directed at my age level in a single setting ... My first official story that I wrote was in sixth grade 'the Teddy bear capers' :lol:

They also had a collection of classics (Hans Christian Anderson, Edgar Allen Poe, The Bronte sisters...) anyway, you get the point :D

Bri and SG....

Bri has already read some of my stuff. The story I'm currently working on. She said she liked it, but there's always this little, niggling insecurity that people who know me will say that just so they're not hurting my feelings.

It's not that I think I don't write well. I'm VERY rusty (heh, sorry) at the moment. for 5 years now, it's like I've been trained to write in a clear, concise manner that is accepatble for the field of psych. I do that very well, I know. My marks and comments reflect that. But now that I've taken up fiction again, much of what I write seems (to me) to be emotionless. There are words and phrases and sections that I'm very pleased with...but entire parts that leave me cold. It's hard to explain. Perhaps I'm just very strange. :lol:

I had a Hawaiin Sunrise this morning...a dark chocolate iced coffee with a spritz of orange. :drool:

I was a bad girl and just finished eating some Ben and Jerrys ice cream. I really want some chai tea, but since everyone is asleep I don't want to wake them up by putting the kettle on. :(

Good morning Wild! :hug:
 
Bri you better not stop doing your caps! I'm a cap addict if you don't give me my fix I will have to send you goat porn spam! Yeah thats right you heard me! GOAT PORN SPAM!!! :evil: Don't make me do it! :mad:
 
Eles... Chocolate... :drool:

VP, if you stop questioning yourself, thats when you need to worry :lol:

There are two books I have read recently which I would highly recomend: "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold and "Odd Thomas" by Dean Koontz :up: both MIND Blowing!

I was thinking about that, but honestly...I'm a little intimidated. :yikes: :reject:

intimidated by an unpublished wanna be who spends more time on fan fiction than her 'real' projects :lmao:
