I had fun with all of them desu

Not a piece I need critique on per se, but a bit of advice. So let's assume I start off my story with a moment of suspense without climax, arbitrary example, imagine someone hiding from a killer and noticing the door was left unlocked, and the knob turns. Boom freeze frame, flashback to how it came to this for all of the first and half of the second act. So when the time rolls around for that above suspense moment again, chronologically, should I just paste the first part I mentioned for jejs and go on from there with the climax, or write it differently so the reader doesn't think I'm that cheap?

>keking stops immediately

I've started reading quicker by thinking of paragraph/page rather than sentence or line. I feel stupid because I could have done this the whole time but just did line by line reading unwittingly.

How do you read with french flaps? I like the design of the book like this, but I don't know how to read with these flaps on them. Help!

I need your help, today I read a poem that get stuck in my mind but I can't find it. It's about a girl in high school that says that she felt in love with a guy with a asian name ( sajo , saho , something like that) I remember that she says that she feels that she is just like an entertainment for him, and that she also felts like she confused him more. Anyone who may know it?

Someone said that these Internet thread things are something stupid for private time, like masturbation, and not to be referred to in the physical world whilst discussing with friends. To the objection 'life is subjective' I replied 'dante reserved the worst place in hell for those who sit on the fence's. I received no response. Thoughts?

>tfw you generally get very enthusiastic responses from the people you show your writing to, but have thus far been unable to get published

Maybe the people I show my work to are easily amused.
