Thanks guys! I don’t have music to go with it yet, I guess I kinda do that whole process backwards. Spot on with the rock/alternative/punk mention though. Thanks again!
i suppose you guys are right.. maybe it should be that the guy says he wants her to die the day early so that she never has to live without him.. but isn’t that kind of macho or egotistical or whatever the right word for that is? not sure, thanks for the input
I think this is awesome. Really pulls you in and makes you want to know more. Kind of like a perfectly orchestrated movie trailer. But way more emotional and deep.
This is awesome. The idea of guarding your heart from someone may be used alot, but your descriptions and personality make it mean alot more. Great use of words.
this is really good, i love the emotion. but i think if you just wrote it out straight without the (awkward) line breaks, it would read alot easier and be all-together a better piece. keep up the good work!
i think you say too much at the end. the reader can understand what happened by what you were saying without you putting it into so many words. i really like the emotion behind it and i, unfortunately, can relate.
well, its good. the idea, anyway. the lines just don’t flow. try counting syllables and then having each line (or stanza) contain the same pattern. also, if the first line contains 2 syllable words, its best to put 2 syllable words in the same places in the second line. this’ll help the flow. thats all i can really help with, i really like the ideas behind the lines though!
i don’t really like saying that i made stuff up, i imagined it being real. thinking about it that way helps you feel like what you’re writing is true and therefore you write it more realisticly.
i don’t understand the last line of the last stanza. it almost feels like your making fun of people who cut there wrists.. “ever since i became an emo fag”. what started off emotionally strong, slipped to complaints and confusion.
what i think is cool, is that you portray what the “girl who listens to old music and is very independant” of the future would be. a little choppy, but none the less well written.
pens, once again you’ve captured the moment and left us with an incredible feeling with a single ending line. my single gripe is in the second paragraph it seems as though you explain yourself too much instead of letting the reader analyze it. however, such a small flaw does not bring down the greatness of this piece.
I agree with grey, it kinda makes you think theres going to be an eerie solution (“we could report it”) and then to just throw in the comedic swich is beautiful.
i think i would understand this way better if i had more of a religous background. i’m pretty sure i know the relative information of the story of the tower of babel, but not well enough to full comprehend this one. if i’m right in my thinking though, this is very clever.
its interesting. i feel like you put too much just out there in straight words. try making things more vague, that way the reader as to infer them. it makes it more enjoyable to read instead of being handed dry facts.
hahah, it took me a bit to figure out what was going on, but once I did I loved it! The dialogue is very fast and quick-witted, which I love. Very good
My names Trevor. I play the drums mostly, a bit of guitar and bass on the side. I’m really into playing and listening to music. I’m a sophomore now but when I graduate I want to go to the Clive Davis School of Recorded Music at NYU and start my own record company.
My stories are mostly dramatizations of my real life where I am the main character in a place that helps describe how I’m feeling with things going on that depict whats going on to me.
I love comments/notes even if they’re criticism cause it’ll only make me better. I hope you enjoy my stuff and I can’t wait to read yours.
