One of My Vignettes
I'm too broke to post this in the Writer's Workshop, but I'll
Always More to Come.
That's sort of the idea.
It seems people get more bang for their buck by directly posting, so here goes:
Always More to Come.
Yeah, I know. I loved it, but I certainly won't be reading it again.
You are who you pretend to be.
i thought that was fantastically sick. you really should pay the small price to join the workshop. youd get so very much out of it. you'll get alot more response than this and you'll get other, like minded writers, like myself reviewing your work contructivly. and you can grow and get this piece up to a standard that is ready for publishing.
plus the essays by chuck are priceless. and all the other extras. get in there. really. do it. and i will critique this straight away. i have plenty i wanna say about it.
cheers, matt
that was twisted. And the style it was written in, the lack of punctuation, it really adds to the childish innocence of the speaker.
Fucking ace.
Ok, guys. You've sold me. I'll sign up over there in the morning and will post it in the workshop area. Also, this was a part of a collection a friend and I were working on when I dropped out of the Creative Writing program I was studying in...so there is some already written and plenty planned.
Our idea was to have a sex-themed piece to go with each violence-themed piece, but he wimped out on me after I dropped out of school...now he's off somewhere not talking to me and--no doubt--wearing lots of flannel and smoking a pipe and ruminating on page about the proper preparation of rye toast. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you.
Anyways...its unfortunate I can't show you his work and how it coincides with mine, but I may just write his portion directly from scratch. Dunno yet. Its too bad, really. We had some entertaining stuff planned. Guess I will have to stick my neck out all alone.
Oh yeah, and one other thing: I drew a little inspiration for this piece from a short story called "Strays" by Mark Richard. Some interesting stuff in his collection, "Ice at The Bottom of The World".
Always More to Come.
Alright, up and at em' with the workshop.
Always More to Come.
I'm glad you've signed up. I really want to, but I'm pretty broke myself. I tend to not comment on the work people put up on the main site (because it's usually not good and, well, that's what the workshop is for), but I really liked yours and I think the grammar and punctuation and whatnot go great with the story.
:] Cheers.
I think I'm going to sign up. It's only 40 for the year, so even if I end up changing my mind again like a douche, I'm not out a lot of money. I look forward to seeing more of your work there. And I think the juxtaposition of a sexual and violent story would work great.
Yeah, I wasn't too crazy about paying, but there is definitely plenty of great stuff on there...now I just have to garner enough points up to post this story. So I get to go back into the game of critique, which I am pleased about. For me, its a matter of forcing myself back into habitually writing & reading as I've been away from it since I dropped out of the MFA program.
I'll show you guys what I mean by the juxtaposition with this piece (which I will post in some shape or form). Mind you, the sexual bit was written by a friend, and I had the misfortune of writing the violent part. My skin still crawls when I look at it: I had to research child murderers for 2 weeks to get the proper mindset...and then I didn't pick up a pen for a month afterward. It's the most fucked thing I have ever written or wanted to write.
Always More to Come.
I feel sick...
