Do you think I have creative writing talent?
I'm fourteen and I love to write. I think I might have talent for it. I'm just wondering if you think I do. Please read on and give me some feedback. I would appreciate it so much Thank you in advance.Prologue I didn t know this would happen. If I had I d have never of done this. I wouldn t have taken the risk. You have to understand, I did this because I thought it was the right thing to do. I never imagined it would have turned out like this. I m sorry, so, so sorry. I ll regret this for the rest of my life. I m not asking for forgiveness. I m asking you to understand. Life is a funny thing really. One minute everything is great. You re content, happy, full of life. Then the next minute, life takes a big turn, giving you a big, wrenching twist that you couldn t have ever thought possible. Then you re left feeling sad, alone, in despair. But then, there are those times when you feel all of the good feelings, and the bad ones, at once. And that s where life becomes confusing. So, of course that leads to funny, in a weird and sick kind of way. Life is a funny thing. Really.

Another creative writing endeavour, what do you think? Not sure where its going...?
Late night writing gets the better of me again, Not sure where i'm taking this, also i understand there is probably a lot of grammar spelling issues at the moment. There are over dramatic statements and it makes me cringe when i read it back, but hey ho. I was sat in my philosophy class on Monday talking to Tash about something deep and profound I imagine. She was recollecting a story I wasn't really hearing but I laughed anyway where I knew I should. Yawning and looking up to move away from her I caught the eye of a scruffy, hippy dippy lad sat at the other side of the room. Shaggy hair stuck to the sides of his face and he had countless chains around his neck, different symbols and jewels knocked about chest as he shifted in his seat. I held his gaze momentarily for the first time, usually just snapping my head away and feeling awkward. Needless to say I felt like even more like an uncomfortable shy girl. Why is it that the human body has evolved to have such unhelpful reactions in the most peculiar of situations? I just wanted to smile at him, prove that I have an ounce of confidence lodged deep down inside somewhere, that I am probably more interesting than a large percentage of the mindless sheep waltzing around this place. That maybe just maybe if I smiled at him he would smile back. No, all I could manage was to stare him down, attractive.I ve always been fond of the hippy type, those people still waltzing around as if they are from the 60 s, a time of revolution, of not giving a fuck, alternative living and embracing this glorious planet we are so suddenly slaughtering. I imagine that if I had lived then I would not be this person, I would be a girl that followed her desires that did what she wanted to do or what she dreamt about. I could have travelled anywhere, got on a boat with a hundred strangers and made a hundred friends by the end of the journey. I would never have to see them again, not on a computer screen, not at college the next day I could just move on with my life and be whoever I wanted to be. I would stay in a community surrounding a crumbling shack on the beach, talking to people about more important things than the weather, or the traffic, I wouldn't have to worry about being that shy girl any more, I wouldn't have to worry about people at all, who needs relationships when you are free to get up and leave at anytime of your choosing. God, can you imagine it? Being able to dance about in the ocean, staying up under the stars simply to see them, to look at them and be able to actually attempt to comprehend the amount of unimaginable chaos that exists beyond them To live simply for the sake of experience, for laughter and for happiness. Bliss Absolute Bliss Sadly my friends, this is not the 60 s this is 2012 and in this day and age everyone is acquainted but nobody knows anybody. People don t talk anymore, not really. Not about what is important, not about opinions and thoughts and feelings. People don t talk about the stars in fact I say good luck in finding someone that acknowledges their existence behind the plastic light of the human presence. People, people don t think about anything other than people, and that my delicate reader is why people will end this unforgiving planet, and the people will burn.
Differentiate between creative writing and factual writing?
Will a degree in professional and creative writing teach me anything I can't learn online or in a workshop?
I'm starting my Bachelor of Arts this year, as a mature age student. I've chosen to study Film, Literary studies, Sociology, and Philosophy, however, my passion lies in literature, screen writing, and poetry. Somehow, I overlooked my university's Bachelor of Arts Professional and Creative Writing course so it's too late for this year but what are your thoughts on a course like this? Do you think it would teach me anything I couldn't get off the internet or learn from a workshop club? Does anybody here have a degree in professional and creative writing? Do you find it useful?I'm keen to learn more about film and philosophy but I'm also wondering if my course choice is the right one. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on the matter, thanks all.
How good or bad am i at creative writing? (small excerpt of something i wrote)?
i'm 12 years old. ive always loved reading and writing. we had to do a project at school creating a story based off of a picture. this is the picture....https theclasswithoutwalls.wikispaces.com file view Oscar %26 Alphonse.png 158138227 Oscar %26 Alphonse.pngand here's two paragraphs from the story i wrote She s not anywhere. She s in her mind, fighting with herself. Flashing back, she s in her house. Her old, not ever taken care of house. One and a half year old Oscar is sitting on the ground, playing with some toys. There s no harm in that, is there? She walks up the stairs, brushing fingers against the weary, pale blue, floral wall paper, the stairs below her creaking with each step. Heel, toe. Heel, toe. She reaches her room and closes the door. Approximately an hour later, she hears a gagging sound. An unbearably challenging thought crosses her mind. She runs down the squeaky stairs and the pale blue wallpaper but she is too late. Oscar is already dead. One less toy car to play with. She has gone three years into the future. Her ear is pressed against a new, striped violet and beige wallpaper. There was too much Oscar in the old one. Her hearing focuses in on her mother and father. There s no time for fighting, she thinks. No time for anymore complications. Father is starting to lose his temper. Nothing good ever comes from that. A sudden trigger being pulled and a gun shot is heard. Then the unmistakable high pitched scream of her mother. There is silence. About another minute later another gun shot as her father makes the last sound of any kind of pain he ever will. The girl walks in to see Alphonse and his wife on the ground, the gun still gripped in Alphonse s dead hand, mocking the girl. It is done. Oscar and Alphonse are gone. She is all alone.i just want to know if i have any talent in writing? and if i should pursue this slightly more seriously? thank you.damn link doesn't work. but you can still read the story. P

Writers: Do you follow/visit creative writing blogs? (+BQ)?
I see that there are thousands of blogs on creative writing and they mostly target aspiring writers with little to no publishing experience. But this seemed sort of redundant since most of them post the same type of advice. So I wondered Do aspiring writers actually follow writing blogs or are they more likely to participate in creative writing forums where they can post their work and gain critiques? Or do they do both? So, writers 1 Do you follow writing blogs? If so, which ones have you bookmarked or visit regularly?2 What material do you find most useful interesting about blogs?3 What type of information would you like to see more of but isn't offered?4 What draws you to that blog? The blogger's tone? The graphics design? The advice? Certain tools or writing prompts or idea generators? 5 Does offering editing services seem dodgy to you? with or without charging a fee 6 Finally, do you find yourself gravitating toward blogs written by published authors or doesn't it matter? BQ1 Do you play video games or online games?BQ2 If you could travel back to a time before recorded history, what time frame would you choose?BQ3 What color or pattern clothing does you the least justice?BQ4 If you could enlarge a certain insect animal enough to ride it, what creature would you choose?
I need help with a creative writing prompt! Any ideas?
So, I'm supposed to transport by time machine three authors I have chosen to discuss their opinions on a given piece of literature. It needs to be entertaining and creative, which is the part I'm having trouble with. Would anyone like to lend an idea they have for an interesting story? Thank you so much, the help is much appreciated Here's the prompt, if you want to read it Choose three authors from the earlier eras of our country who are proponents of the three different literary movements, Puritanism, Classicism, and Romanticism. Transport them by time machine to common ground. How would these three writers interpret The Open Boat Daisy Miller, The Awakening OR McTeague? Have each draw comparisons between these texts and their own works. Their interpretations of the texts should reflect the literary movements to which they belong. Your writing will be in the form of a fictional conversation between the authors and focus on the text assigned to you at the final.
