Useful creative writing information
Another creative writing endeavour, what do you think? Not sure where its going...?
Late night writing gets the better of me again, Not sure where i'm taking this, also i understand there is probably a lot of grammar spelling issues at the moment. There are over dramatic statements and it makes me cringe when i read it back, but hey ho. I was sat in my philosophy class on Monday talking to Tash about something deep and profound I imagine. She was recollecting a story I wasn't really hearing but I laughed anyway where I knew I should. Yawning and looking up to move away from her I caught the eye of a scruffy, hippy dippy lad sat at the other side of the room. Shaggy hair stuck to the sides of his face and he had countless chains around his neck, different symbols and jewels knocked about chest as he shifted in his seat. I held his gaze momentarily for the first time, usually just snapping my head away and feeling awkward. Needless to say I felt like even more like an uncomfortable shy girl. Why is it that the human body has evolved to have such unhelpful reactions in the most peculiar of situations? I just wanted to smile at him, prove that I have an ounce of confidence lodged deep down inside somewhere, that I am probably more interesting than a large percentage of the mindless sheep waltzing around this place. That maybe just maybe if I smiled at him he would smile back. No, all I could manage was to stare him down, attractive.I ve always been fond of the hippy type, those people still waltzing around as if they are from the 60 s, a time of revolution, of not giving a fuck, alternative living and embracing this glorious planet we are so suddenly slaughtering. I imagine that if I had lived then I would not be this person, I would be a girl that followed her desires that did what she wanted to do or what she dreamt about. I could have travelled anywhere, got on a boat with a hundred strangers and made a hundred friends by the end of the journey. I would never have to see them again, not on a computer screen, not at college the next day I could just move on with my life and be whoever I wanted to be. I would stay in a community surrounding a crumbling shack on the beach, talking to people about more important things than the weather, or the traffic, I wouldn't have to worry about being that shy girl any more, I wouldn't have to worry about people at all, who needs relationships when you are free to get up and leave at anytime of your choosing. God, can you imagine it? Being able to dance about in the ocean, staying up under the stars simply to see them, to look at them and be able to actually attempt to comprehend the amount of unimaginable chaos that exists beyond them To live simply for the sake of experience, for laughter and for happiness. Bliss Absolute Bliss Sadly my friends, this is not the 60 s this is 2012 and in this day and age everyone is acquainted but nobody knows anybody. People don t talk anymore, not really. Not about what is important, not about opinions and thoughts and feelings. People don t talk about the stars in fact I say good luck in finding someone that acknowledges their existence behind the plastic light of the human presence. People, people don t think about anything other than people, and that my delicate reader is why people will end this unforgiving planet, and the people will burn.
Comments on my creative writing called "The Chase"?
I wrote this last year. i had to decribe the bushes outside my english classroom lol so i decided to let my imagination run wild. What do you think? I can feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins. My heart is pulsating, wanting to escape out of my chest. Every drop of rain burns on my skin as I sprint, trying to find my way out of this maze. My hamstrings are screaming of agony but I continue running. I am being chased by a nightmare. He can hear me gasping for breath and I can sense his eagerness of capturing me, reaching closer and closer. I am lost in the wilderness with death just a few metres behind me. The buzzing and hissing of creepy crawlies distracts me as I struggle to pass through damp and shrubs and tall bushes. My shoes are now coated a filthy brown, making the ground feel slick. The predator is not giving up and his roaring seems like a spit distance away. Panic hits me when my ankle gets caught on a dead branch and the wet, muddy ground pulls me towards itself. My head hits the hard soil which was covered with small rocks. The pointy edges of the rocks tears one side of my temple letting blood flow freely down my face. I am left hopeless as the moist Earth slowly snatches away my energy. I can sense the monster clenching his jaws. I give myself no choice but to accept the fact I have lost. So I slowly shut my eyes in hope that this nightmare will soon be over. But then I feel the light shine on my eyes which makes me wake up. The bell yells in my ears and I become aware of my surroundings. I walk out of the bushes and leave for my English class.OK i know the ending is really bad. but i was trying to tell the reader that i maybe fell asleep or fainted or lying down somewhere during lunchtime, while walking through the bushes at school and im having a nightmare... so can i please get some suggestions of how i can improve my ending?
Writers: Do you follow/visit creative writing blogs? (+BQ)?
I see that there are thousands of blogs on creative writing and they mostly target aspiring writers with little to no publishing experience. But this seemed sort of redundant since most of them post the same type of advice. So I wondered Do aspiring writers actually follow writing blogs or are they more likely to participate in creative writing forums where they can post their work and gain critiques? Or do they do both? So, writers 1 Do you follow writing blogs? If so, which ones have you bookmarked or visit regularly?2 What material do you find most useful interesting about blogs?3 What type of information would you like to see more of but isn't offered?4 What draws you to that blog? The blogger's tone? The graphics design? The advice? Certain tools or writing prompts or idea generators? 5 Does offering editing services seem dodgy to you? with or without charging a fee 6 Finally, do you find yourself gravitating toward blogs written by published authors or doesn't it matter? BQ1 Do you play video games or online games?BQ2 If you could travel back to a time before recorded history, what time frame would you choose?BQ3 What color or pattern clothing does you the least justice?BQ4 If you could enlarge a certain insect animal enough to ride it, what creature would you choose?

Do you think I have creative writing talent?
I'm fourteen and I love to write. I think I might have talent for it. I'm just wondering if you think I do. Please read on and give me some feedback. I would appreciate it so much Thank you in advance.Prologue I didn t know this would happen. If I had I d have never of done this. I wouldn t have taken the risk. You have to understand, I did this because I thought it was the right thing to do. I never imagined it would have turned out like this. I m sorry, so, so sorry. I ll regret this for the rest of my life. I m not asking for forgiveness. I m asking you to understand. Life is a funny thing really. One minute everything is great. You re content, happy, full of life. Then the next minute, life takes a big turn, giving you a big, wrenching twist that you couldn t have ever thought possible. Then you re left feeling sad, alone, in despair. But then, there are those times when you feel all of the good feelings, and the bad ones, at once. And that s where life becomes confusing. So, of course that leads to funny, in a weird and sick kind of way. Life is a funny thing. Really.
I had to write an ode for my creative writing class. I would love any and all feedback?
It's a nontraditional ode, basically a poem of praise. I would just like a " good enough" score at this point, so if any of you have any suggestions that might put this into that territory, I would be very grateful. Thank you An Ode to Dirty LaundryTerrific stench Oh, How you intrigue Escape that prisonousBasket Flow, crawl,Explore every naked bit of Superfluous space, until not a Thing but filthy fabric is seen Oh, Love, in a pile on the floor, you seal the deal for Intimate exploration watching proudly as passionate lovers Fly into provinces of ecstasy. A volcano of secrets, with each andEach and every mysterious oder and food based stain, Illustrating all that isSweat, proof of laboriousness and life.Oh, protector of souls, Never relenting to breed and wanderDuly but mournfully, thoughI must now Return you To the washer.
I'm just about to begin creative writing again.. Any advice from fellow writers?
Its been a while since I last created anything.. So i'm challanging myself to write a few short stories for good practice. Does anyone have any advice they can share.. Or any thoughts are welcome..
My creative writing class has lead me to write a story but it involves alot of gore and is very graphic?
Well the story is about earth after thousands of years from now. It begins with a character who has no idea of her past and has no idea how she got where she is or who she is and later on she starts wondering what she is. she is what i describe as an ariel she has the ability to move any object with her mind within 20 yards which includes compacting it into tiny pieces, lifting it, moving it or completely destroying it. The beiging of the story starts with some side characters, one of them is a general who ends up battling the ariel on her own planet and ends up murdering nearly everyone and everything around him. the scientist warns the general of her capabilities and tells the general to retreat at all costs. the general refuses to retreat and attacks the girl in an attempt to capture her and learn her capabilities so that he can one day recreate her in a lab and use her as one of the most deadly weapons in the galaxy. even his biggest attempts including nuclear weaponry the girl remains unharmed despite her entire planet being completely destroyed. After the attacks she ends up being caputured after passing out from the nuclear attacks. The general takes her to earth despite the scientists greatest warnings about taking an ariel to our own planet. well to skip most of the detail she escapes the lab after seperating the limbs of all the guards of the lab on planet earth and ends up passing out again in the middle of a park. a little girl finds her and befriends her even though she has no ablity to speak, no memory, and is practicly an infant in a 13 year old girls body. The story continues with her learning more about life and her remembering her true identity, she is faced with two sides, the one to create and nurture life and what she was born or designed to do which is to destroy or corrupt life. She ends up with seperate voices in her head and throughout the story she begins battling these voices, the story is about control, belief, violience, love, and trust. so im just asking would it be ok to go crazy with the gore and details, because i dont want to hold back, what are your sugguestions?
