Novel Treatments / Porcelain God - Prologue
Version 1

My story feels like it begins with my disease. Everything before it entered my life is fuzzy and blurred around the edges, like it wasn’t real. I know that things led me to this place but I don’t quite believe they actually happened to me. I like to believe that in the beginning I was a different person. That over the years of mistakes and bad choices and struggling against a disease that has grown to encompass my life more and more, I have evolved into a different sort of creature than I sta...

LaLa Lain is standing on the digital scale and staring with what I can only describe as utter disbelief. This is the fourth time she has weighed herself today, the second that she has been completely naked while doing it, and each time the number staring back at her from the LCD display has been unacceptable. “I don’t know how I can be expected to work like this!” She snarls finally, flinging herself off of the scale and onto the couch where she huddles into a ball. She reaches to the floor f...

It is generally accepted that a person can become addicted to cigarettes, alcohol, prescription medication, and illegal drugs. But addictions come in many forms that the majority of people are not aware of. Something as seemingly harmless as eating can become an addiction if it starts to be abused. Eating disorders, long considered “dieting taken to the extreme,” are serious, life-threatening illnesses with many of the same mental and emotional causes that drive others to use drugs. Just as s...

human, i cannot grasp the truth of being the cardboard toilet paper roll, as exciting and as pointless as a two dollar bill, what dreams come next in this ultra-light world? neccessary, evils of the pink stuffed teddy bear, the broken light-socket the world has become, we have built the castle in this place we stand upon; you and i, the person buried next to us with the aluminum cans, glass bottle memories i can't quite remember; yesterday, the day i couldn't sleep through the rain, powder bl...

It is girl-on-girl day at Pink Plush Studios. Everyone is irritable but they don’t say anything because Censor Bitch is here to observe things and one wrong word out of anyone could get all of us fired. The Harrisons and Censor Bitch do not get along. Have never gotten along. In the beginning the Harrisons wanted to name their production company Pink Pussy Pictures. Because of their contracts with prominent financial backers, Censor Bitch got the final say on what they could call themselves. ...

Haiku/Senryu / Middle School
Locked
I really liked this, it was interesting and relatable and flowed really well. The only advice I can give is 1) to go back through and do a careful line edit, as there were some spelling mistakes (like "from" instead of "form") and 2) you might want to break up the lines a little more as in some places it reads like prose instead of poetry and that could be confusing for readers.
Journal, Diary, & Blogging / Claire_D on Commuting
While the vocabulary used in this entry is certainly interesting, I'm not sure it really fits into the realm of a blog post. Blogs are usually written in a person-to-person kind of tone, as if the writer is conversing directly with their audience, so it will sound almost converstational. This piece does not sound conversational, it sounds more like literary prose. Plodding literary prose at that, because after the first few lines, that interesting vocubulary weighs the sentences down. It feel...
I was reading this aloud, trying to figure out the flow, and after a little while think I caught it, but it might have been alot easier to read and understand if you had included the punctuation yourself. Your words certainly evoked a certain kind of lazy observation of the world around you, something we all have succumbed to at one time or another when we are just sitting by ourselves. If that is what you were going for than it is well done.
Romance / NaNoWriMoProject 2
I'll focus more on the actual plot type stuff, as I know when you are in the midst of writing for NaNoWriMo it is more about content and less about the grammar and other mechanics. I found this interesting enough, the plot moved forward at a pretty fast pace and never stalled out for too long so that it became boring. But it felt like a bit too much telling and not enough showing. Your main character has all of these conversations with people that we never get to hear. Dialogue is an importan...
