Summary:

A short novel about a tragic romantic triangle. Carla, Tom, Steven... First three chapters are on site. I think it's pretty good. How do I make it better? It is either high commercial or low literary. How do you see it?

Summary:

In Boston the new museum of contemporary art displays avante garde exhibits, some of them rather baffling. I visited recently with ten friends from Western Mass. Boats sail outside the big glass wall and the airport can be seen across the water. That's Logan, where terrorists once boarded planes to wreck some lives and landmarks.

Summary:

When Ethan Elliot, the prodigal son with a poet’s heart, crosses paths with the eccentric Jules, their trajectories align, hurtling them far from the boroughs of New York City, on a life-changing, cross-country, roller-coaster ride into the bowels of Middle America. After a hap chance meeting on a subway in Manhattan, Ethan and Jules are forever bound by a single self-portrait. However, it’s only after we are introduced to the worldly, mystery drifter, Wolfgang, that their true colors begin to show. The three “lost souls…nbsp; take off in a Chevy Chevelle bound for Boonville, Missouri expecting to find themselves, the world they once knew, and their shared divination. What they don’t expect is to be taken hostage by a family member that they have never met. "Freaks of Nature" is a coming of age story about forgiveness, providence, and our redemption as a human race. It takes the reader through Ethan’s slapdash, and often times frightening, view of today’s America, demanding us to face our gluttonous zeitgeist and nudging us back towards our intended humanity. But more than simply a story about a character’s growth into fruition; at approximately 90,000 words, it’s a commentary on the anomaly, or “freaks†, we’ve become as a society. First round draft. Looking for any advice: creative, technical, what have you.

Summary:

This is my first serious attempt at a novel. The theme is roughly about how art can save your life. Since it will be ever evolving, I can't sum it up entirely, but the main character is a man, and it chronicles his life, as he watches a devastation happen to his artist mother, through the joys and sorrows of marriage and fatherhood, and so much more set from the 60's to present time.

Summary:

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Pablo Picasso---- Believing WE ARE ALL CREATIVE, Echosis explores the consequences of a world where the threat of a global strike by artists of all disciplines brings the brokers of art, entertainment and the media to their knees. Reminiscent, in part, of NETWORK and its plea for a public to speak out, in anger if necessary, Echosis chronicles the growth of NYC sculptor, Derek Turrel, and the obstacles he encounters in trying to hold onto his integrity as he realizes success and influence via his new paradigm for Art and Entertainment appreciation. He proffers his beliefs to a world gone amuck with media's continued contempt for individuality and its determination to "give the people what they want" instead of affording them a creative opportunity for learning "what they need." AS A RESPECTFUL REQUEST, PLEASE START ANY REVIEWING WITH CHAPTER ONE, AS JUMPING INTO THE MIDDLE OF A NOVEL IS RUDE AND COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO BOTH WRITER AND READER. IGNORING THIS REQUEST WILL RESULT IN MY NOT READING YOUR REVIEW, AND AN AUTOMATIC 1 RATING FOR LACK OF RESPECT.
