No. That would have been giving him what he wanted. Tonight was "deny the booty-call boy night...yet leave him with a totally hot image to torture him."

Ok, knock that off!
I was originally going to compare the second book to Koontz/King 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 up in the head for a long time because of those damned books

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...".

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

The truth is, i'm sitting here like a complete slob in a tank top and my underwear. To me, that says slob. If he chooses to think that's hot, that's his thing. Whatever floats his boat, i guess.~BrightestStar~ said:

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