글쓰기 Article: Divorce it should be a cuss word Pt. 2

I woke up that morning exhausted and numb. I had no idea where I was, and for a 스플릿, 분할 초 I panicked. Then, like floodgates opening, it all came back. The hurt, the tears, the anger; my newest scar. Suddenly I had an idea. What if this was all just a terrible nightmare? What if Lyn was waiting for me in the 부엌, 주방 like always? I hurried out of bad, pausing to only make sure I was decent for my cousins. I stepped out of the room onto the cold tile. The house had an eerie morning silence, so with every step I took I hesitated. I hadn't prayed in a long time but I did then. "Please, pretty please, let this all be a bad dream. Tell me Lyn will be just around the corner." I was two steps away from the kitchen. I held my breath and stepped in.

She really was gone.
Really.
Never coming back.

I think that was when I decided to hate her. Before, I had decided I would just cut her out but now, I would loathe her with a 불, 화재 that could burn anything. Hate her with a passion. She had left my dad while he was SICK! What self respecting woman leaves her husband when he is SICK!?!? I don't mean with a cold, OH NO. He has a tube sticking out of his side GOD DAMN IT!!!! So now I would hate her.

H- Heinous
A- Acidic
T- Traitor
E- Enmity

HATE. A life consuming emotions.

The Jagged Edge

posted by ToastedRabbits

Someone once told me,

"Being a writer is like being a prostitute, really. At first you're only doing it for yourself, then 당신 decide to tell a few friends, let them in on the action, then 당신 decide to let a couple strangers in, pretty soon you're welcoming the entire world."

Such a very accurate quote. When I heard this, I was at a very formal luncheon with a few kids from my journalism class in which we produced the school's newspaper: The Jagged Edge. It was an awards ceremony for individual work as well as our newspaper as a whole to be recognized. Granted, it was a local newspaper that...

We Are Wrong...

posted by BeSafe

I chanced a glance at you
from across the crowded room
and that was when I noticed
당신 were looking at me too

we both know this shouldn't happen
its a road we've been down before
and the only way it ever ends
is with 당신 walking out the door

so I wish someone would explain to me
why I'm still rooted in place
staring in the direction
of just another lonely face

my mind is screaming at me to run
while my 심장 asks me to stay
for a moment I dont know what to do
and if its a price I'm willing to pay

we both know this is wrong
the 사랑 that we share
but we also know that wont stop us
because to find this kind of 사랑 is rare

피아노 Magic - A Short Story

posted by Dearheart

Darkness whispered outside, and frosty stars sparkled in the windows. Bits of fake snow and glitter were scattered here and there, with crumpled-up programs lying in the pews and the last strains of “Joy to the World” echoing in my head. The 크리스마스 음악회, 콘서트 was over, and my family was off in the reception hall snarfing down sugar 쿠키 with everyone else. Normally I’d be with her (I have an awful sweet tooth)...but this time, something had told me to stay behind.

I glanced around the sanctuary one last time. The dim lighting combined with Christmas-sparkle gave everything a sort of...

How to Prepare Your Manuscript

posted by Pushkin319

Remember that 당신 want to make a good impression and that the presentation of your manuscript is the first step. When you're preparing a manuscript, whether it's an article, a short story, 또는 a novel, there are certain styles that make your piece stand out. 당신 want it to look professional—not like the large percentage of manuscripts that appear as if the writer took no care at all in the presentation.

Writers disagree on whether editors really care about the typeface and the line spacing and whether the manuscript follows a certain style 또는 format. Some editors don't care about these things,...

Dearheart's Do's and Don'ts for Budding Writers

posted by Dearheart

Ladies and gentlemen, writers of all ages (especially teens/preteens) and species (except mosquitoes), welcome! I'm bored, have a writer's block made of concrete and am feeling particularly resentful towards the curse known as textese/chatspeak. (Seriously, whatever happened to good ol' morse code?) So I decided the best way to give my 글쓰기 a rest is to help out with yours! Aren't I generous? :)

Before I begin, I'd like to point out that I am not an expert 의해 any means. I'm not a 글쓰기 guru 또는 a master advice-giver-person. I am simply a fellow writer who wants to pass on what she's learned;...

poem, capture my 심장

posted by whitelion

love, a word that can bring much joy 또는 much pain
it can put the 심장 at ease 또는 under strain
and as that word to each other we spoke
it made our hearts complete and not broke

a feeling unlike any other i felt
as 당신 heavenly eyes made my 심장 melt
당신 were always the one, i could tell
cause from the moment i saw 당신 in 사랑 i fell

the words to describe 당신 a poet can never posses
당신 were always the one that was hard to impress
당신 wanted 더 많이 than 시 and 꽃 could give
because only on true 사랑 your 심장 could live

to capture my 심장 for 당신 it only took
one moment one smile and one unforgettable look

Opposites

The author considered. Then the author wrote:

Two opposites sat on a park bench

The author deleted

as soon as it was typed, and replaced it with

and one wanted the other to leave.

The critic noted "That's really not very specific, is it? Two 'opposites'? Come on, you're going to have to be 더 많이 specific than that."

The author considered. Then the author wrote:

The Republican sat down 다음 to the Democrat on the park bench

and nodded, satisfied. The critic clucked his tongue. "Welll...it's not exactly original, is it? And how different are they, really? Honestly, 당신 couldn't...

I Ran (short story)

posted by ToEkNeE

I woke up as usual. But there was something about today that was going to change. Unusual. I stumbled out of bed, opening my eyes to darkness. I wouldn't need to expect sunlight just yet. I clumsily found my way to the bathroom to take my shower.
For some reason, I wanted extremely hot water. Usually, I would have tepid water on, but this time, the water was blazing. The water beat my back with an intensity far beyond a human could ever intake. It was like hail was being shot at my skin, with a beat to it. The burning was far worse. When every droplet hit my skin, there would suddenly be a sharp...

Young Enough - A Children's Poem

posted by Dearheart

Young and fresh and shining bright
Filled with wonder and delight
I see beauty, 일 and night
I am young enough

Whether it's Real 또는 just Pretend
Possibilities have no end
There could be magic, 'round the bend
I am young enough

Dolls can 옮기기 when I'm asleep
They come to life while I count sheep
And freeze whene'er I dare to peep
I am young enough

Book-friends all come out to play
My 침대 becomes a magic sleigh
Imagination rules the day
I am young enough

The sky can cry a lot of tears
The trees tell secrets; can't 당신 hear?
The world's alive: to me that's clear
I am young enough

Grownups say the queerest words
Have...

Is 시 A Dying Art?

posted by Cinders

I've been slowly but steadily coming to the conclusion that 시 as an art form is quickly losing its flavor amongst the iPod generation. And I'm not talking about contemporary poets who don't get read 의해 the masses, because as Gertrude Stein would say, "Those who are creating the modern composition authentically are naturally only of importance when they are dead because 의해 that time the modern composition having become past is classified and the 설명 of it is classical. That is the reason why the creator of the new composition in the arts is an outlaw until he is a classic." Or,...

당신 are all i desire, a poem

posted by whitelion

your smile, your eyes, your voice
as if 당신 gave me a choice
everything about 당신 i loved
all other feelings aside i shoved

on your every word i hung
and even among
a crowd, only 당신 i see
nowhere else i would rather be

these feelings for you, that are kept inside
i can no longer hide
everything about 당신 i admire
당신 are all i desire

so kind, so sweet, so passionate
everytime our eyes met
my 심장 would race
while looking at your smiling face

full of buety, life, and joy
with my emotions 당신 play like a toy
like a wild beast, my emotions cannot be tame
and i don't even know your name

Meredith sat up in the middle of the night screaming. Again. She felt tears wet her eyes at another miserable attempt at sleep. She wanted to pull her sore eyes from her sockets. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stay asleep. She wasn’t going to get any 더 많이 sleep tonight, and Meredith knew that. She pulled off the sheets and slowly stood up. She wobbled slightly and held her head. These nightmares were going to be the death of her.
Meredith crept down the hall and into the 부엌, 주방 for a little snack. Maybe some warm 우유 would put her to sleep. She reached...
