I am writting a book and I want you to read the preface and a little of the first chapter, what do you think? Question: I felt as if my heart was going to bust into tears as it stroke 11:00 at night. At this time, a year ago, I was driving to a restaurant with my grandparents. we ate a lovely dinner. Then it was time to go home. It was raining so my grandfather went to bring the car around for us. Five minutes passed by and he still didn't come. My grandmother went to see what was wrong and told me to stay put. She too didn't come back. I heard a scream and a loud bang. Police cars came rushing by. I knew something happened that would change my life forever. I still can't get the memory of my grandparent's lifeless eyes. The reason I was with my grandparents in the first place was because back in my home town, detroit, michigan, my parents didn't have enough money to raise me properly. As a result, they put me on an airplane to Arizona, to my grandparents. My mother's parents were like my parents. and now they were gone. But in their will, I was to inherit their money and go home to my mother and father's open arms. It has been a year. And I have moved on. Now my story has nothing to do with this. I have told you this little bit of information to show you how I have felt for the past year and to tell you a little about myself. My name is Heather Richardson. I am 17 years old. And I live happily with my mother, for my father is also dead. I am an only child. And my heart still belong to me. For now. Chapter one "Heather, your going to be late for school if you don't get your butt out of that bed of yours!" my mother yelled from the bottom of the stair case. The first day of school had arrived and I didn't want to greet what layed ahead of me. I got out of my full sized bed, very comfortable i might add, and got dressed in a blue blouse with a black mini skirt. I wasn't the ont to get fancy but first immpressions count! I ate breakfast, a soggy bowl of cereal, as fast as I could so I wouldn't taste it. Kissed my mother food bye and headed for my car. It wasn't the newest tachnology type of car, it was plain black and well, plain. I didn't want to be late so I tried to drive as fast as I could without getting a ticket. I turned out to be early so I just sat in my car, praying I wouldn't embarass my self. Then I heard a rapping on my window. I jumped and turned to see who it was or what it was. Daniel West was smiling in at me. He has had a crush on me ever since who knows when. He was a simple guy, brown hair, blue eyes, and of course, a ladies man. but he wasn't for me. I opend the door against my will. please tell me what you think about my book so far and let me know if I should change anything, from where i put things, what i put in it, up to the very last detail like names or characteristics! please let me know! it is a romance it is a romance/ suspense Answer: Hi good start but think of using punctuations, so it is easy to read than one long ramble OK? If u read it again u will see what I mean,think how the reader is perceiving ur story. Read a novel u will see what I mean Good Luck ♥ PS. Don't forget to spell check it... |

I just wrote this poem-what do you think? Oh, and it's really long, so read all of it. Criticism welcome? Question: A fierce wind seeps its way into the midnight bullet train- and leaves I shivering and my can of black beans chill cold- cool-s'cool-s'a-ll-cool- on this cold train-bopping heading smiling to Coltrane, oh baby I do believe I love your way of smiles and dresses and jeans, long hair waves and twinkling sunlit in the moonlight eyes- ah, lovely. Ah, moon-I love you, metal chill car-I love you- cold moonlit tracks-I love you, and all this way into the mainland vein of America, a 'night in tunisia' and recorded slapped on beat and delivered in wax folding-can I sleep here? Should I as the night train speeds past middle plains and lady marks dawn with her neck lovin' bites behind the ear of loving sighs. I am leaving Washington D.C., the atmosphere is too much! for a sweet dreary bum as I- San Fransisco is my renaissance. I love her curves and rainy day pouts-I love you and by train I pass dizzily by- onward night train! Sick to my bullet am I! Another poorboy, a pint, a bottle, a stick, a light, I sleep, I dream of hips and thighs, I wake, I clean, comb, clean teeth by fingernail, all to the rythym of the night train in silver, I shot a grain, I chewed and shook leather, I sit and write in a furious time-table of lapsing seconds and breaths-good God I'm a wreck- and I love the crates that read as my companions oft do-"Made and bound for China"-in red lettering and sealed with kiss for luck-I love the chinamen in chinatown down by the coastal bay, the swaying-ness of it all, smiling wrinkled oriental wisdom of centuries Zen. And onward onward! I'm tired an' dull, where's my Jazz, Duluoz? You promised life on the mountain, all I found was a dirty shack and a dead mouse-what a religious promise in said imagination! - I pass through up Southern California-LA in her man-made beautiful flowery smile in the lights and shadowy figures jump cars such as mine-and now share a laugh, a smoke, a drink and tales of the wild cowboy west-where old bums drink rye and rum and skaddish! Blam!-San Francisco is a-run with rennaisance lovers and buisnessmen! Love on the docks, love on the hills, love to be found a 2 'o clock morn, let's talk of being made, then follow suit- as in a night in tunisia... Answer: It could definitely pass as a genuine Beat jazz-poem. Great job. I liked these parts most: You promised life on the mountain, all I found was a dirty shack and a dead mouse-what a religious promise in said imagination! oh baby I do believe I love your way of smiles and dresses and jeans, long hair waves and twinkling sunlit in the moonlight eyes- ah, lovely. Ah, moon-I love you, metal chill car-I love you- cold moonlit tracks-I love you, I sleep, I dream of hips and thighs, I wake, I clean, comb, clean teeth by fingernail, all to the rythym of the night train in silver, I shot a grain, I chewed and shook leather, I sit and write in a furious time-table of lapsing seconds and breaths-good God I'm a wreck- |
