I wrote this from personal experience actually, so its more coming from the viewing ones self as a screw up. It was a one time thing that happened in my past. I couldn't find a job for months it seemed it was a momentary lapse of better judgement that brought it on after a whirlwind of things happening that brought me there. less

None of my stories were nearly as boring as what happens in real life. And it was a good first story and we do tend to get more inspiration ehen we are writing from events that we were involved in (or would like to be incolved in!). I got hat she did have new hope for the relationship, and that the urges ebb and flow just like everything else but the sentiment is still their. I think part of why we all liked it is because we have all lived through something similar. less

Btw, this is my [third | italic] time trying to post this. First the power flickered long enough to knock out the router twice in a row then I went and apparently hit the hot key on my keyboard to turn the wireless network adapter on and off. And, of course, that took me 10 mins - d'oh! Ironically, I was actually here on time, a few mins before 7est even, but alas, no matter what I do, it seems fate is going to continue to make me perpetually tardy. That could be good though, right? Detention? The principal's office? Some rulers and some otk spanking - ain't gonna complain about that. Anyway...

(and excuse how far behind I am top-wise, ty)!

I just so happen to be The Mistress of All Things Haiku (and senryu - sp? - sometimes, too, though not on purpose). I made myself write a minimum of 20 each morning for MONTHS & MONTHS on end. It was my way of doing that get yourself going writing thing - like how some people free-write for a specified amount of time to start their writing day. I even have a link to some of the best (imho), if anyone's interested. I need to post them to my real blog! They're still only on my myspace blog, of all things. Anyway, suffice it to say, I've got several hundred if not 1000 or more tossing around various hard drives and boxes and whatnot.

As for combining all three perspectives/points of view in ONE piece - well, now, that's quite the challenge. Makes haiku look like a walk in the park. I'm thinking it'd work easiest as separate (perhaps even stand-alone but intertwined) chapters or stories in a relatively short book. That, or writing a poem with the point of view changing with each stanza change.

I thought the jobs yall did w/ 3rd person were great. That's a struggle of mine. For some ungodly (obvs self-consciously self-punishing) reason, I start off writing a LOT of fiction in 2nd person, of all voices, though, generally speaking, Im best in 1st.

I'd love to sometime explore some of the poetic movements and devices more thoroughly and I'd love, love, love to do anything regarding stream-of-consciousnes s.

Also...
HEY LADIES!!! Sorry I'm so behind. I swear, I'm in such a daze that I sat at the comp, tab open and everything, for 15 minutes, at least, while I zoned out on the screen and tried to remember what it was I was supposed to be doing.

*written after the part above, if that makes sense: and then, all hell broke loose.* (lol)

Hope y'all are all doing well! Muah! less
