That's really good! Keep writing, definitely!
Image
Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here—that life exists and identity,



That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

I don’t remember waking up, but I found myself sitting on my bed some time later. I turned to look at the clock, but the hands were blurred, and the numbers seemed to have been wiped off. Rubbing my forehead, I looked over to the window to see the rain pounding against the glass, spattering across it in huge drops. The strange thing was that I didn’t hear it- I couldn’t pick up the sound. For a moment I panicked, thinking I had lost my hearing. Standing up quickly to call out to my aunt, I dropped the bear.
The plush toy fell to the floor with a soft thud, so I knew then that I wasn’t hearing impaired. I looked back to the window, and still the rain slammed against it, fat drops hitting both the glass and the wood. Frowning, I walked over to it, pressing my fingers against the chilled glass.
Looking down to see the lock fastened, I fiddled with it to open the window. The rain made sound now, like rocks tumbling down a metal pipe. Bringing my legs up to sit on the window bay seat, I rested my elbows on the sill, watching it spatter against the road. It all seemed to be going slowly, like someone had placed a large television in front of my window and pressed slow motion.
Sighing, I pulled the windows shut and latched them, the noise being muted almost automatically. Turning to walk down the stairs, a breeze pulled my hair to brush past my ears. As I turned, my eyes widened dramatically as I saw the window was open. I rubbed a hand up my arm to try and get rid of the chill running over my body.



Ooh! Cliff-hanger! I'm interested for more :D

I have links for three stories in my signature. I'd like for people to review them over and tell me what they think before I continue so I don't continue on a bad story line. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm not so sure. You definitely need to be cautious, so you don't get in trouble.

It's a writing thread, if you warn of the violence above the link, you should be fine. I don't believe that there're any rules about it!

s e v e n wrote:School is finally out for the summer, and I'm relishing the chance to be able to write again! C: I've been sitting on a novel plot for almost half the year -no exaggeration- but I haven't been able to do anything with it yet.
Which leads me to ask some very pertinent questions -how do you guys go about plotting your novels? What do you do when you get stuck at a certain section, and how do you go about world-building and character-shaping?
This is partly simple curiosity, and partly my idea of being proactive (for once) and attempting to acquire some tips before driving right into the fray. :p
-Viz


Yeah, I'm probably a bit late answering this but better late than never!
When I have an idea for a plot, I sketch out a rough plot pyramid. Very, very rough because the plot always changes as I'm writing it. I have this idea I'm working on right now (It's been three years since I came up with the idea >.<) and you wouldn't even think that the original plot had anything to do with the plot I have now.
And when I get stuck, I just take a break and work on world building or character creating or something like that. Or else I just leave the story alone for a few days weeks until my muse comes back.

    Ahh, I really need some help... I can't figure out how to start this story I've been wanting to write.

    The problem is, I'm normally straight into the action when I start a story, whereas in this one I'm trying to make it sound as average as possible. But I can't think of how to start it, or how to write it so that it doesn't seem either really, really perfect and happy or really miserable and moany.

    I'm also writing it in first person, which probably isn't helping at all. I can't do first person.

    If anyone has any examples I could look at for inspiration or some tips, I would really appreciate it. c:
