I'm really thankful for some the books I read in high school - I didn't ever even consider reading Frankenstein, oh boy but when I did, what a novel.

Get yourself to be taught in college/high school for the next 60 years - you're set.

From then on aquiring all the other boards under our hand (such as /c/, /trv/, /adv/) will be of no challenge!

The legions of /b/ will tremble under the glorious Enlightenment!

Huh, this looks interesting.

In a detached sense, Native Son.

Though it'd be difficult to pin a "bag guy" in that one.

Well fair enough - continue at it then fellows.

The exaggeration of the problem makes it a problem mostly.

That looks fine.

I mean, you could change it to "What are their interests?" to avoid the preposition...but no, no, it looks alright.

Thanks, I'm unsure if I was trying for this exact piece - usually stuff I write on a whim tends to be confusing as fuck.

We fervently entered the club, keeping our hands tightly swung deep in the inner pockets of our coats; sure, it was our favorite chilly Boston night-type, one to keep nice and tight, nobody would question it. On obvious tradition, the less drunk of us two maneuvers the crowd - a sterile, virgin lookin' first mate with tightly wound shorts nicked just below the slightly torn adventure polo colors, paddling ripples in any jubilant crowd for his ale-stubborn Captain, coaxing behind. Always a few bumps with rare waves washing up just port-side, feisty enough to grope (and her slapping urges that crash up, making for one drenched, red-faced Captain.)

It was odd to think that with such a relationship, maneuvering a coiled rave bar, half-past a late teenage child's curfew, there would remain a goal. Of course, money could taste a man to thoughts of such a dangerous life; money and the pure danger in itself. There was an element to the surging, the blasting of sound pumping so jubilantly to your own heart, knowing that once your hands pull out the weapon, the only heart you're going to hear is your own; maybe your partner's when the money hit the floor. Time was up, with our eyes met, and the steel ran down until its crack across the pitched floor – neither armed, he spoke first. “You aren’t really going to shoot, are you? You ain’t got your gun, we ain’t got our guns, that is.

I'm never afraid to read my writing. Even if it sucks completely on your own accord, you've learned what to avoid next time.

And there's usually salvageable material in night-time writing for later work.

I just enjoy Bill Murray, so therefore his movies score points with me.

I'll go to agree with the general consensus that your ideas, at least from this angle of description, seem pretty commonly considered.

The only advice I can give you is to either:

A) Somehow string together particular story ideas into one element (such as I suggest previously.)

B) Delve deeper into one idea and flesh it out - basically write out a three paragraph synopsis of the major points/action/characters in the story and figure areas where you could deviate to stand out.

(For example, you could do a coming of age story but what if one of the people was handicapped? Mentally? Physically? Even something like that is a major shift on the ideas presented in the novel, the interactions between characters, etc.)

Hahaha!

I love how you've got the Anderson tab up from that other thread - I went to read him up after you mentioned him as well.

> mfw I immediately thought to mix the whiny story of coming to age with the BDSM

I don't know if it would work OP, but man it'd be one heck of a tale.

And ignite.

I love saying ignite.

I laughed but I hated myself for doing it.

You get a selection of five choices, and they are just two wizard "terms" slammed together with a number.

Some are cool - Silverdawn, Castleflight, SnitchSnatcher

Some...are questionable and sound awkward to say.
