Clichés: How To Embrace Them

posted by Cinders

Courtesy of the cartoonist, Clangnuts

Ah, the dreaded cliché! The worst feedback a writer can get is, "Well, it sounds sort of cliché, doesn't it?"

All authors want to be original. If someone even mentions that a writer's work reminds them of someone else's, the writer tenses up. "No, no, no, I'm nothing like him," he says swiftly. "I've never even read him."

"Yeah, but it's kinda like him," the reader persists, believing she is giving a compliment rather than an insult. "He's incredible, 당신 should read him!"

The thing is-- it should be a compliment when a reader compares your work to...

What i hate about 당신

posted by mars15

I hate when 당신 walk away from me
because I'm always scared that 당신 won't be come back
I hate every time i see you
because i always melt like ice scream on sun
I hate every time when I'm not seeing you
because i always think where are you
I hate that you're always in my head
because i can't think about anything else but you
I hate when 당신 don't talk with me
because i always think that i did something wrong
I hate that i always try to impress you
but it's like 당신 don't see that
I hate every time 당신 touch me instinctively
because 당신 always make me want to hold you,to 키스 you
I hate every time 당신 talk...

Make Me Care About What 당신 Have To Say

posted by Cinders

And of course, the initial reaction to a 제목 like this one is, "Well, why don't you make me care about what you're saying, first?"

So I'll cut straight to the chase: When submitting a short story, 또는 even a poem for publication in a literary magazine, keep in mind that the editors receive hundreds of submissions a day, which means that they don't have time to read every last one of them. This is why it is incredibly important to hook them in your first few sentences, other than start slow and verbosely build up to why they should care. Therefore, this will be a succinct explanation of why...

All he wanted...

posted by thirteen_times

He didn’t want money 또는 fancy cars; all he wanted was to be loved 의해 someone, any one at all. He needed someone to care about him, not his wealth, not his ties to the rich and famous, someone that actually cared about him, the boy with bright blue eyes that sparkled in the sunlight, curly raven black hair and a boyish grin permanently plastered on his face hiding the pain of being alone. Yet no one did, all they saw was the heir to the Jeffrey Empire, the boy that was going to inherited it all. The boy, who was the prefect son living up to the Jeffrey name. They never saw the boy’s who’s arms were covered in cuts, the 칼, 나이프 against his skin, the blood dripping down staining the carpet, his eyes closing never to open again. No one read the note tucked into his pocket cause no one cared.

A new world-chapter one: Gone draft

The only sound that could be heard in the large hospital of Melbourne was the continuous beeps from the room in which Jamie's daughter lay.

The white walls and the bright yellow lights were too much for Jamie too take and the 질문 which he dreaded to ask himself filled his head. First of all why is my precious Stephanie in here? Nothings wrong with her she stayed at Ashley's all weekend. What could have happened? and secondly why hasn't that receptionist stopped staring at me. She hasn't looked away since i sat down.
Jamie looked down at his watch, it was eight in the morning. He had been...

Huntress

My name is Gennive Mason.

And oh yeah. I'm the last vampirehunter alive.
You pobally think it's so cool. " Oh yeah she's the last vampire hunter alve. 당신 must be everyones hero." Wrong. No one and I repeat no one can know about me 또는 뱀파이어 또는 warer 늑대 또는 shape- shifters 또는 witches. 당신 see it goes against code.

I shouldn’t have shot the dog. I definitely shouldn’t have shot the dog. Even if he did chew upon my prized drumsticks, and feast upon my freshly-baked brownies. The little white-and-brown terror, Mickey, belonged to my neighbor. My neighbor, an 87-year-old chain-smoker named Mary, rarely left the confines of her living room. She sat, 일 in and 일 out, as her precious mutts wreaked havoc about the neighborhood.
You can see it! My house, the little beasts have chewed upon everything their gnashing, tiny, sharp little teeth could find. I did my best to keep them out, but the little bastards...

“I just want to talk.”
“There’s nothing to talk about.” 당신 lie. 당신 don’t want to hear him apologize 또는 even see him. What he did hurt 당신 like nothing else could, still 당신 knew that 당신 loved him and 당신 심장 ached for him. 당신 wish 당신 could turn back time to when 당신 both were happy but 당신 know that what’s done is done.

Gods: Chapter 8: Games

At lunch I went over and sat 다음 to Liz, she looked up at me and smiled. “So, you’re talking to me” I said, I opened my can and took a sip out. “Yeah, I forgive you” she said, and then she turned and looked at Adam. “Is that why?” I said nodding at Adam. She smiled at me, and giggled. “He’s happy” The word shocked me as they came out of her mouth; I had forgotten that Adam was as Liz tells me ‘unhappy’. I gave her a light smile, I had made him happy. When the 벨 went it frightened me I was too 로스트 in my thoughts to even care about being late, so for a while I just...

What is the greatest 키스 in the world to you? Is it the ol "let's just be friends" peck on the cheak, 또는 maybe it's the "let's just finish this, I have places to see and people to do" kiss, it could be Mom's 가장 좋아하는 키스 the "we'll finish this later" 키스 또는 the one that my brother, Tyler gives his khloe eyed tamagotchi girlfriend, Misha.
I'm not exactly sure how to discibe this 키스 to 당신 and I can't guarenttee that what ever 당신 have previously eaten wont decide to show itself again but I can tell 당신 that I'm sick of sitting in the living room during one of their sucking face sessions....

A Valentine’s Gift: A Story of Determination

Every once in a while we face certain challenges in life; whether it would be at work, school, home, 또는 an illness. At times we don’t know if we have the courage and inner strength to get passed our obstacle. And sometimes during our worst obstacles, we can accomplish the unexpected. Depending on the challenges we face in life, we still must keep our dignity, even if we lose the battle.

Why i need 당신

posted by mars15

I need you
from the first moment i saw you
I need you
because you're the air i breathe
I need you
because you're the water i drink
I need you
because just the thought of seeing 당신 makes me want to get out of bed
I need you
because 당신 can with just one smile make my whole world starts to turning again
I need you
because 당신 make me wake up from my the most horrible nightmare without fear
I need you
because 당신 can give me hope when i don't have one
I need you
because even if I'm at the bottom,you're always there to help me stand up
I need you
because in this cruel world 당신 keep me alive
I need you
because i know that you'll never give up from me
I need you
because when no one believed in me 당신 were there to stand up for me
I need you
because you're everything for me
But the most important thing why i need 당신 is
because I'll always 사랑 you!

This was in my head so i just thought to write it

Barely Noticed (Metaphor)

posted by funnyshawna

Life is an iPod. The different melodies, the ups and the downs, the changes in tempo, every song, and every experience differs a little from the next. Start with the tinkling bells, meaningless lyrics, and soothing sounds of early childhood. Everything is simple; repetition, a song meant for young ears, nothing to think about, nothing to ponder, just to breathe and to live. One song flows into the next, changing subtly, barely noticed. Then the words begin to gather 더 많이 depth; the beat becomes a little faster, a little louder. The 음악 plays, slow and monotonous during the school day, dragging...

Spirit Of Stone

Eddie Krinshaw walked down the side walk of the Ulysses S. Grant comunity park. It was almost dark and the sun was starting to set. He needed to get 집 before his curfew, 또는 his parents would get mad. He walked through the park gates, then across the 거리 to his house. Just as he was getting ready to do his homework, there was a pounding on his window. He waited until the pounding stopped, then he opened the window to see his friend Vincent Samson standing there with a dart gun in his hands. "What are 당신 doing!" said Eddie. "I found this cool construction site down town" said Vincent.

팬팝 시 Contest!

posted by Cinders

Photo by Steve McAlister

저기요 there, everyone! It's the start of a brand new year, and I know we all have brand new ideas for our lives. That is why I want to open this 년 up with the first ever 팬팝 시 contest! It's basic and simple, because everyone can write poetry, and it's short which means everyone can read all of the submissions in a brief period of time, whereas stories may take longer. However, if you're a story-writer (I sympathize), never fear! If this contest goes well, I may sponsor a 팬팝 Short Story Contest afterwards.

Established Rules
1) Any piece of 시 is accepted, so long as it is not...

For Kay, my dear sister in Jesus. May this small tale help to remind 당신 how beautifully and wonderfully made 당신 are in the eyes of the Great Artist.

~~ Beautiful ~~

Once upon a time, not long 이전 and not far away, there lived a wise and skillful artist who loved to paint. He delighted in making magic with color and bringing all the 이미지 he saw in his head to life in his pictures.

One day, he was painting something extra special. His brush dipped in and out of the swirling 색깔 and flew across the canvas in expert strokes; dabbing here, blending there, moving swiftly in a joyful, marvelous...
