Writing’s a rather new creative endeavor in my life that began to come into fruition over the past two years. The onset was several English composition classes in college where I was introduced to a wide range of contemporary literature (Nabokov, Oates, Austen, Kureshi, and the like) and was able to critically write essays of aspects of these works. It was all part of the curriculum to pass, but the manner that the material was taught and how I perceived the literature had an absolute positive affect that lead me to explore writing further. My main focus is screenwriting, but those stories are not available for review since this service doesn’t support the appropriate text format needed for a script; however, I have a large amount of wri…

Quotes / The broken path
Good work. Regardless if the written text's from a book or as a stand alone piece it is very powerful. Unfortunately, and I fully respect your position on the quote, it easily carries the stigma that is breeding on our world today. It is much more potent if one were to associate it with politics/government. With peace comes hostility. Thanks for sharing.
Quotes / Regrets
Good work. The quote is universal and mirrors the cliche saying of 'Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.' Thanks for sharing.
Quotes / Absence of Mind
Good work. I sense a hint of pessimism in the quote in that it is conveying that society is a force that controls those who are not free to think for themselves. I fully agree with this ideal because social convention is very much instilled on the American culture (I use American because I live in the States and is the only culture I've known since a child) and it makes it easier for one to succumb to it if one is dead behind the eyes. They simply go with what they are told because their mind...
Good work. Unfortunately I don't have a first hand account in light that I'm not dead, nor would know where to begin to finding what a death entails, but I fully agree with what the quote is conveying, as well as the statement that is written in the preface.

I also sensed a hint of black humor in that one must be tolerable of being enclosed in a casket and buried. I wa...
