Novel Treatments / Twelve Plus One Book One: A Guide To Extremes (Redux)
Version 1
74 Reviews   16 Comments
_Twelve Plus One_ _Book One: A Guide To Extremes_ “Let us digress around hundred and fifty years: in the year 1857 a famous writer gave birth to a movement called ‘Realism’. His name is Gustave Flaubert (or however the French pronounce it!), and he wrote an extraordinary piece of work that some of us analyse today called: _Madame Bovary_. In a cliff note I found on the Internet, it says: “_Flaubert depicted an entire segment of society and unmercifully analysed its people…_” Which segment of ...

Journal, Diary, & Blogging / 10 Things I Hate About… Marriage
Version 1
1 Review   0 Comments
10 Things I Hate About… Marriage: I heard an old guy once say that marriage was a necessary evil! I was young and naïve back then; around my early twenties. I was a salesman in Buenos Aires at that time, dating a beautiful, tough 16-year-old whom later ripped my heart to shreds. I needed a break from work after making a house call, so I stopped at a café to get a shot of caffeine- I was easily pleased back then, too. Like most good salespeople, I was very approachable and became very chatty t...

Non-fiction / My Life In Love - Birth to 13 (The Language Barrier)
Version 4

Hi! My name is Andres, pronounced “undress” with a rolling ‘r’. My best friends call me ‘Undies’: an Australian slang for underwear. It all started when I was trying to get them to pronounce my name right, as I cringe at being called Andreas. They were drunk (I’m still a teetotaler) and would try rolling their “r’s” as I was demonstrating. One of the girls said: “It sounds like ‘undress’!” So the others giggled and said: “Yeah, Andres! Undress! Take your clothes off!” Not being shy, and playi...

Humor/Satire / The Dare Devil

Locked
Humor/Satire / Application
by Unnoticed
Well, at least it answers the mythical question of who let the cat out of the box! It's very succinct. A little introduction about the character applying for college, his nervousness and anxiety, and a description of the setting wouldn't go astray. Seperating each 'Step' in its own line might allow for clearer reading: _"Step 15: Please Submit Urine Sample"_ _The page had a colored bar,..._ Will there be more?
Young Adult / Gifted, Ch. 4
by AstridM
"more intense than any she’d ever had, a haunting merry-go-round": use : after had as it is an extra description about the same subect. It seems like a very, minute-by-minute description of events. Charlotte has a shower. Charlotte brushes her teeth. Charlotte dreams... There's not much personality coming from the characters- no defining traits that a reader could relate to (except having a friend die or a stuck-up mum). In other words, Charlotte and her family seem very shallow. I know I hav...
Journal, Diary, & Blogging / Dear Father
by traceylb
"Who do I look lie?" like "tear stained paper": tear-stained is a compound word- use dash to join them. "and place it into my fathers casket": placed Very short! But very understandable. A few questions that arise and aren't answered: How old were you when he died? And when you awoke from the dream? How old was he? How or why did he die? After the first paragraph it seemed like a letter to God. Then your mum shows up, and I realise it's about your own Dad. But, why doesn't he know what you lo...
Poetry / The Story of Fallacy, Part II
by East
It should be called The One Night Stand, because that's the picture I received from it. It's a bit too layered and complex for it to become a popular poem, yet it's written as simply as can be. Maybe you can transfer those feelings into a story, as dialogue inside a poem rarely is seen. All-in-all its not a bad prose, yet poems are reknown for the Feelings they inspire. This is more about events than feelings.
