I’m an English major and while I love a good book, I’ve been trying to write one of my own in my spare time. You can check out some of my non-fiction works at: http://www.myspace.com/icomeanon
    I’ve been writing since I was thirteen and, believe me, I know what bad writing is because I’ve had to read my own (underdeveloped/immature) stuff for years. I’m finally settling into my own style. It needs work, just like everyone else’s (otherwise, I wouldn’t be on this site), but I feel as though it’s starting to come along (finally).
    I am a published author. (I’ve been published by a small time publishing agency). I also wrote for an award winning newspaper for almost two years. I guess that means something, though I have read so…

Non-fiction / Imperialism and Iraq
Version 1
0 Reviews   0 Comments
There are a variety of opinions regarding the war in Iraq. For some, it is a tiresome subject that is to be avoided at all costs. For others, it is the protein of their conversation. The war in Iraq is always discussed in terms of morality and immorality, good versus evil, winning and losing, and cost and benefit. Everyone has an opinion and no one is truly right or wrong when the war is argued in these terms. Although these issues are viable, they are superficial aspects of a more basic huma...

Criticism / The Slumbering Incidentals
Version 1

The trouble with Christianity today, and I say "Christianity" only because the reader will recognize (in part) what I am referring to, is the popular (but grossly wrong) idea that it's a security blanket of some sort. As C. S. Lewis once said, "We regard God as an airman regards his parachute; it's there for emergencies but he hopes he'll never have to use it." This understanding of Christianity is bent. Bent in the fact that people see God as an accommodation. This way of thinking raises man...

Non-fiction / Characters and the Character of God
Version 1
1 Review   0 Comments
As an English major, I find that I enjoy writing a good story as much as I enjoy reading one. It is through this mode that I have come to understand God just a little better. Writing a story with several different characters has given me a chance to explore myself. You see, every character I've written has had a bit of my own personality within him or her. Some of the characters are good and some of them are bad, but they all are related to me in some way. Some portray my wild side and the ne...

Non-fiction / All dripping in tangles green
Version 1
0 Reviews   0 Comments
Last year, around this time, I wrote about turning twenty. I made mention of my twentieth year being a rollercoaster, an adventure, a heartbreak. It's amazing how accurate that piece was. I remember writing the piece quite vividly. As I sat there re-reading what I had written, I thought to myself, "heartache"? Why in the world would I write something like that? I have no desire for heartache. And yet I couldn't shake the feeling that life was about to get seriously hard. So I left it in. In w...

Sci Fi & Fantasy / Gate of the Realms (Chapter 8)
Version 3
4 Reviews   7 Comments
Chapter 8 Satyros had forgotten how good it felt to be a part of column of men marching off to some unknown fate. After three years of peace, he was ready to breathe the crisp, morning air and appreciate it for what it could be; the last morning of his life. It was exhilarating. More than that, it was life. The celebration the previous night had lasted far into the evening and well into the early morning hours. Satyros did not stay to see its end, but had left soon after Ren had given an acco...

Sci Fi & Fantasy / Elidah's Song of Parting
by Tivarah
You have an interesting premise, but the quality of the poem needs to be worked on. Even though the poem is not written in heroic couplets or written in any set rhyme scheme, you need to work on the rhythm. For instance, your third stanza uses the word "blemish" which seems to have too many syllables. This is only one of many examples. It might help to read the poem out loud to yourself to discover it's rhythmic weeknesses. Also, you've got some sort of language at the bottom. Be careful. Tol...
Short Story / Poetry Killed My Dog (Revision)
by onlywish
My interest is definitely there, but the idea is out there. Really out there. As for the normal mechanics, I would suggest you re-think the spelling of "thier" and "then" should be "than" in the second paragraph. "Dogicide"? Really? This one word throws the whole concept of the story out the proverbial window. Words are powerful and this is a little too silly, even with the plotline such as it is. As for the actual writing, you have a good way with words. They flow well. Segweys are develope...
