Stephen King, On Writing
“ One of the really bad things you can do to your writing is to dress up the vocabulary, looking for long words because you’re maybe a little bit ashamed of your short ones. ”
Stephen King, On Writing
This seems like a pretty helpful site. Wish I had time to peruse and use.
“ You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, “Why not? ”
George Bernard Shaw
for anyone who wants a place to put up their stories. =)
Keep a journal, but you only need to write one sentence each day. It can be a thought, a summation of your day, a question, a complaint, or something you need to remember. Even a simple note to yourself. Anything is fine. All you need to write is one sentence!

i was going to write something deep and meaningful that summed up everything i was thinking, but then life happened.
the melted trails left behind by snow
the water trails left behind by forgotten snow
the puddles left by trailed snow
the puddles pooling after melted snow
My breath fans out like walking through clouds
my breath disappears like cigarette smoke
my breath steams the air to a higher plane
my breath exits my mouth to form clouds
my breath is the fog
my breath contributes to the clouds
We are walking down a slippery slope
there is a slippery slope
that is a slipper slope we are falling down
before us lies a slippery slope and we must climb
slipper slopes are similar to slippery slopes
all my love
i give to you
so let it drown
in beats or two
upon this ample brow
i bestow a clue
cleaved in the middle
of a lovestruck child
but how
now
with winter’s fading
duly noticed chilling
clings to bare limbs
and fall gracelessly
to the pavement
sitting
on shattered shins
