Hello Taylor,

I'm making some more changes to the FFF to make it even better. Check out my Forum post on the topic for details.

-Ben
we forgive you, as long as you come back. hahahaha.
<3

summer. you'd better visit.
haha, i know right?
i miss you.

your writing is excellent.
and i have to post all my stuff.... gurrr.
Hey Taylor,
Thanks for the critique!!! I will go in and return the favor in a few....I will let you know when the piece is edited. I wrote the story as a 15 minute freewrite without editing for a workshop - hence the typos and tense contradictions
Thanks again! Merry Meet!
hi tayyylorrrr.
its cello.
...And thanks for the critique I meant to say that before...
Granted I may be way off base, but when I think prose poetry, I think of poetry with no regular rhyme or rhythm scheme, like free verse, but written as more of a narrative, often in complete sentence. Does that make sense? Again, it's very likely I'm wrong..
hi, taylor--
ha! thanks for the critique of 'clean, dead steve'--you helped clear up several punctuational spots for me. (punctuational?)
i appreciate you wading in and grabbing hold of it like you did.
Hello, Taylor! Do you wanna read any of my works? Just let me know on my scratchpad! I also look forward to reading more of your works and hearing your questionnare!

About Me

About Me: ok, I'm over my Scribophile Tirade.
I'm Taylor. I like to write, but Often I read something that makes me lose all hope of ever amounting to anything as a writer (take Poe's "The Raven" or James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl as examples). I love analyzing works of literature right down to the sentence structure and how it affects the message. Which is probably why I like Frost. I love Broadway, and I like stage manage, when I'm not busy doing the 5 thousand other things I have to do in a day...
Favorite Books: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Kesey), James and the Giant Peach (Dahl), A clockwork Orange (Burgess), Lord of the Flies (Golding), Othello (Shakespeare), The Onion Girl (DeLint), The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald), The Book Thief (Zusak). J.M. Barrie is absolutely my hero.
Favorite Movies: Meet the Robinsons, Benny and Joon, Harold and Maude, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Juno, Jurassic Park (the first one), Indiana Jones (all of them, and I'm so excited for the new one), Anything Tim Burton
Favorite TV Shows: M*A*S*H, The Colbert Report, Scrubs, The Office
Favorite Quotes: "But around here, we don't look back for very long. We keep moving forward, opening new doors and experiencing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." -Walt Disney

"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." -Mark Twain
(honestly, I just really love Mark Twain quotes. One of my favourite activities is to go on google and type in "Mark Twain quotes." hilarity ensues.)
Loves: well, my dearest love is my girlfriend. After her, I love my friends, my family, my dogs. I love writing, I love reading. I love Robert Frost's poem "Design." I love Broadway! Favourite musicals include Into the Woods (Sondheim), Sweeney Todd (Sondheim), Children of Eden (Schwartz), Les Miserables (Alan Boubille or... someone... I honestly forget...), RENT (Jonathan Larson), and the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (I really don't know who this is by...).
Hates: I hate tomatoes and all byproducts thereof. I hate Walt Whitman with a searing passion! I really dislike Shakespeare's The Tempest (not to say I hate Shakespeare. I really like Othello.). I don't like pickles. SPIDERS ARE THE SCARIEST THING EVER! It's not that I think they're going to eat me or anything, it's just the way that they more. their legs are all knobby, and stick out at odd angles, and they move in the most eery way. If there is one standing still I can tolerate it, but otherwise...

ok, I'm changing the formatting. Everything I've written so far is now one chapter, with several breaks, instead of three separate chapters. » Read...
