Kudos for getting the Tori reference, really, most ppl wouldn't pick up on that, although I had that song going through my head when I started writing.
If you come through ATl, let me know, we'll go eat a chefly dinner and talk words.
Peace love and happiness to you, may the fruition of your thougts be born with clandestine clarity and epic proportion on paper for the rest of the world to revel in !!
Don't you love the unoriginal cliche phrases I just inc. that's why YOU'RE the writer !!
My rustic mood led to a wonderful weekend. My dad and sister came for a visit and we went to the coast, a welcome relief from this sweltering, apocolyptic heat (Woohoo for global warming!) Hiked to the tip of cape lookout, staring off the cliff to the blue and white crashing below I realized that heights still terrify me, and here I thought I was... Read More
Lord I was a stranger,
passin' through your town,
Lord I was a stranger,
passin' through your town,
when I asked you a favor,
good gal you turned me down
Honey I'm so lonesome,
I don't know what to do,
Honey I'm so lonesome,
I don't know what to do,
The way you treat me mama,
I hope you're lonesome too
I usually the glass half full girl, but I think I was just cranky yesterday because of the heat and not feeling very well. It unfortunately happens from time to time.
Ah summer, love and fear intermingled, blended. I have never felt more loved, and yet more alone, it is a time of contradictions. Writing is not an option right now, I have nothing to say, it's time to be quiet, time to listen.
A worn out joke to keep the flies away
Carried it this far
Got the west side winds to keep it steady... Read More
I'm going to be gone for awhile. This place isn't what I need, I've been letting real things slip away and I need to focus on my life and making myself happy again. I'll be back in a few months, in the meantime anyone who wants to contact me should e-mail me at Report_Thought_Crime@yahoo.com, but not for a few weeks. Much love to all.
I am going to do something unorthodox, most of you have not read much of my writing, so out of context I'm going to post a section that I'm struggling with, a parft that I'm not sure works. I want you all to read it, then tear it to shreds, verballly, intellectualy, violently, sexually if need be. School me.
I'm always more than happy to read anything you have to say.
Dialogue is super akward to write, and I'm thrilled to see you don't use any of the disgusting "he said" "she said" bullshit. urgh. anyone who uses that in their stories has no place in writing in the first place.
suggestion wise: try to kind of separate the conversations with narration--make it a clear difference between when it's him talking to the vegan and him talkign to his girlfriend. it gets all muddled towards the end there and you lose track of who is saying what. try finding different ways to say "____ said"; i.e. "(s)he interjected/declared/added/etc."
hope that helps
Tired today, I wonder where all the time goes. The sun is at the center of Gemini, and my sn sign is enhanced, stretched to an almost comic deggree. I forget sometimes that being Gemini can be exhausting. Time to rest, I am happy in a very quiet way but I wonder if I will ever get used to sleeping alone.
I certainly hope you aren't a mere figment of my imagination, it would be rather devastating because I had so much faith in the fact that you were one of the few remaining intellectual, compassionate human beings that I know.
"I am happy in a very quiet way" that made me smile. you are beautiful.
Sleeping alone is one of my least favorite things, I hope you are able to find someone to fill your empty bed.
