thanks for the comment! Out of curiosity, how did you know that the main character was female? Was it a guess, or something that gave it away? Just wondering
haha thanks. my family used to have horses on their farm, and when i was little, i fell off of one and almost got stepped on. also, they smell.
I'm still alive. Trying to figure out how to make money without having to go out in the real, fake world.
lol, what do you plan to do with the story? anything?
ha! thanks for your comment on my scratchpad, O--much appreciated.
hey, nice beard! i always respect a man who can grow a beard. those who don't... they're bitches. sorry, that was unnecessary for me to say ahaha.
usually... when i write, it just flows. the idea comes, then another. and another. i like when i write... i'm able to do it without getting stuck.
it's the ideas for me though. i have to have the right one or else i WILL get into a dead end. that has only happened once though. and the only reason i got stuck was for contradicting myself.
but what does your title mean?
i know boston like the back of my hand, if you're ever coming up, i can show you some cool stuff, man. and i really want to go to quincy hall. God the food. THE FOOD!
Hi - Thanks for dropping me a line. Really. It came at a good time. I mean, I needed some sort of nudge to keep at this. I'm having a hard time making peace with critiquing other people's work. I understand it's an important part of what makes this site work but ... I don't know ... maybe I just need to accept it and get used to it. I read a segment from "life In a Small Town." Pieces like that, no problem. I enjoyed your style and langage use very much. Still, I need to dig my heels into the more formalized critiquing and "just do it (nike typing)." Thanks again for the note ... Sky
The red sox, by the way? are you from massachusetts?
plus, you get to hang out with me!

Well, ok, you could have done that anyway. But this way we'll match!

I also collect rare first editions of the titles i love.

Favorite Movies: Gross Point Blank, High Fidelity, The Big Lebowski, Transiberian, and some documentaries
Favorite TV Shows: Quotes: "Indeed there is nothing more vexing, for instance, than to be rich, of respectable family, of decent appearence, good education, not stupid, even kind, and at the same time to have no talents, no particularity, no oddity even, not a single idea of ones own, to be decidedly like everybody else." Fyodor Dostoevsky- The Idiot
Favorite Quotes: The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” Jack Kerouac
Loves: I really enjoy learning, and I find language infinitely facinating. Also, I really enjoy interacting with like minded individuals, and listening to new thoughts and ideas.
collecting modern first editions when I can afford it. Baseball season, the Red Sox, fishing in the spring, traveling, my family.
Hates: People who are smug, trite, arrogant, and pugnacious. Sociopaths, and narrcsists.
