if i never wrote, my head would explode, but that doesn't mean i could write something worthwhile this very minute

do you never just have a compulsion to write? do words not just come to you? don't you notice hints of meaning, and want to flesh them out? or do you feel these things and just let them pass, or suppress them, and then go home and sit down and force yourself to write?

it does look a bit like that strap was painted as an afterthought, i wonder what the story there is

>>6907556
i took way too much diphenhydramine last night so i had really vivid dreams

in one of them, my friend killed himself and i went through all the processes of finding out, attending the funeral, grieving

let me tell you, going from fully accepting that someone is dead to seeing a text they sent you causes some insane feelings

it suggests you need to know more about your own heart, perhaps

i was always noided when teachers asked me if they could keep my work to show to future classes because i thought this would happen

i said that a teacher could keep a diorama i made and i found it in a pile of things the teacher was planning on throwing away at the end of the year

:c

to be fair, critique threads get unwieldy very quickly because they generally consist of walls of text

naw
>piling into her nostrils
air does anything but pile and scent is an airy sensation
>dough-slathered
dough cannot be slathered, batter can
>spattered with sweet taste
not only have you already used spattered in this poem in a way which does not lend meaning to its repetition, you used it in an immensely weak way this second time. her batch is spattered with taste? what does that even fucking mean?

good ending though

all 3 parts were impressive, but it seems as if you have not proofed them for punctuation. if you typed all this up as soon as you read "new critique thread," good on you, but you really ought to iron things out before posting anything

>Sancho figures out that she is lying
he doesn't "figure out" shit

sancho forces the accuser and accused to fight over the accused's purse, and when the accuser proves herself a formidable fighter, sancho states that she must not have been raped, because if she had fought for her body as hard as she had the purse, she couldn't have been overpowered

chapter 28 is the only one i can think of that deals seriously with rape
