    Tragedy in London

    I truly feel for everyone in London. I know how hard it must be to live in fear. Everyone always says not to live in fear because it's what the terrorist want, but one can't help being afraid to climb on a public bus or an underground subway. Much like I'm terrfied of flying here in the states...

Certainly, overuse of adverbs and adjectives make writing unnecessarily verbose and flowery. Often, the use of an adverb or adjective is unnecessary, or even worst, masks an ineffectual...

    Critique Me!! I want to play too!!

    Novella what don't you understand about my ego? I thought I made it quite clear that I have a very strong ego. I don't take offense to the fact that you or anyone else here does not like my work. I face rejection every day from my mailbox. I take it very well. I have taken your comments and...

    Critique Me!! I want to play too!!

    Novella I don't mind people telling me that my work is bad. It hurt when my work was mocked by your post. It hurts when people make you the laughing stock of a whole comminuty. I respect each individual here and make every effort to understand that everyone is intellegent in their own way. I...

    Critique Me!! I want to play too!!

    Thanks motokid. I think that you have to be the only member who is intellegent enough to write inspiring responses like the previous. I will however continue to read because I love it almost as much as I love writing. I will take a break from my writing because I just can't do it. It really...

    Critique Me!! I want to play too!!

    I do write for myself and it's one thing motokid for people to not like my work, but to all out make fun of someone's efforts at sincere writing is just plain hateful. I would never tell someone to their face that their work is shit. I would however offer advice and suggestions on how to...

    Update---Opinions?

    Inside the Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s office the phones rang off the hook. The dispatchers sat professionally at their desks speaking the constant lingo of law enforcement to the patrol guys in the field. The radios cracked and chirped with static on and off with each remark spoken over the...

    Update---Opinions?

    Thank you so much Thanks so much for the great insight. I couldn't for the life of me even thought I've read many books over my life span understand or get how the hell was I suppose to make my characters tell the story without using dialouge and sticking with 3rd person POV. The examples...
