Summary:Koda Rose Grady comes of age in the shadow of her legendary musician father. This is a novelette, not a novel; I'm just posting it as a novel to keep the different parts together. No chapters, but I will try to stop at logical points. :) Thank you in advance, everyone.Chapters: |

Summary:Taking a break from Ruby Rose and feeling reflective, so thought I'd give poetry a crack. Not because I'm any good at it, but I wanted to play around with interpretations/double meanings.
I know as a poem this is really awkward - clumsy rhyming, lousy rhythm, annoying experimental pace ... so I'm looking more for suggestions on how to improve, rather than pointing out what I already know is crap.
I'm particularly looking for feedback on the content - I'm trying for the interpreting-alternative-meanings concept without being too obvious or too obscure ... walkin' the line, I guess.Chapters: |

Summary:This is a short piece of prose that I wrote for a Creative Writing unit a few years ago. It's been a hit thus far so I thought I'd post it on here and see what sort of feedback I receive. It was an observation assignment in which we had to choose a particular type of person from a list, go out and observe one of these people in the real world and then record our observations. I chose 'observe a drug addict' because it was particularly close to home for me at the time.Chapters: |
 | The Sinister Hand (Best Pitch Contest) | clwriter | Short Story | Other | 2 | 0.00 | Nov 4, 2011 |
Summary:I am attempting to describe a satirical novel, so the pitch may also portray a satirical tone. Feedback: Do you think the satire works, or is it just too damn silly?Chapters: |

Summary:When you are in the grip of an addiction, you find yourself in positions you cannot refuse to play in. This is the demoralization of the disease. This story is a slice of that bitter pie, from the history of a recovering alcoholic.
Please give me everything you have. I am trying to polish this story to the bone, in the hope that it might become a perfect piece of prose that marks a critical event in the life of a drunk.Chapters: |

Summary:my first cousin died recently of a drug overdose. This poem is how I dealt with the grief.
I am interested in how the style is perceived as this is a comfortable writing style for me.
This is the first time I have posted work on this forum and I am grateful for the reviews. I am grateful for the editing comments by kiwi & ulli as I have incorporated them into my piece. My first time listening to constructive editing advice. There maybe hope for me yet. To you other kind people, thanks for your comments. I will be sharing this poem at a family reunion today. Hopefully it will bring perspective & healing...
