Re: { INKLINGS } A Thread For Writers

    Hello, I'm a new person here, first time I've posted since my form. c:

    So, I want to practice writing short stories, but I'm drawing a blank on ideas. Do you think I should offer to write short stories based on people's characters or favorite songs, etc?

Hello evergreen! Well, personally, for the first short story I wroe, I got the idea early one school morning, and it was so random. I built off of it with random things I wrote down without even really thinking. That works for me, but everyone's different, so maybe one if the things you mentioned will work better for you.
@written in blood= I would! Thanks! I'm excited to see how it turns out!

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.

hai guys, i need your opinions.

would you read a story about an abused scene/emo teen with strange powers {to see and communicate with ghosts and other beasties}, who ends up running away and bumping into ghosts or whatever?


Hm... I'm afraid that I probably wouldn't. However, if it were pulled off right an drew in my attention, I would give it a shot. I'm more of an adventure/comedy gal.

Hello, and welcome! I'm fairly new to this thread, myself. c;
As for short stories, I tend to focus in on characters, expanding their personalities and such. I do song-based short stories once in a while, but I go with such character-based ones most of the time (as I am more of a fanfiction author).
Hope this helps!

    Attention to anyone who enjoys reading Sherlock fanfiction!
    B U R N has just updated here, and I've also started a little set of one-shot cute Mycroft and Sherlock as children fics here.
    What do you guys think? Opinions/Critique would be lovely. :>

If I'm not answering, I'm probably at work. I usually get on in the late evening my time (listed timezone below)

Pronouns are they/them and you can call me Starfalling, M, or Morgan. I'm in Pennsylvania which is on EST (CStime -4)

I love trading, although I'm recently back from a long hiatus so I'm not fully up to date on demand. For any current event pets, I’ll only trade them away if I have a double, and I don't trade growing pets Real life got hectic and I somehow missed the whole month of May on here. Looking for all May pets, will keep WL updated as I go

I use bold a lot because it's easier for me to read, since you can't change other people's font size and being zoomed in constantly is annoying

I am a holibomber!
Sig was getting long, my counts have been moved to trade rules

    Hello all!
    I am entering a summer writing contest and I have just finished the first little chapter-like thing of my rough draft. I'm hoping for some feedback before I go ahead and post it so I can ensure that it's not complete rubbish. XD If anyone is interested in reading it and giving me some critique just shoot me a pm.
    Regards,

    hiii
    so, i finally got around to writing something but i'm having trouble with this one sentence. it's sort of describing how the main character is feeling while he dances. and just to clear up any confusion the 'other' mentioned in the sentence is just another person in the room.

    Before long he’s dancing, paying no heed to the other and lost in his own world, where nothing matters but the smooth flexing of movement and the quick snapping of limbs, where it’s not air that he runs on but the burning adrenaline rushing through his veins.


    yeah it sort of feels longgg. but i don't know if i should shorten/split it into two or not, or if i should just keep it.

    helpppp :U
