Nice work Meowi! (And I love the dedication! )
I've recently discovered a liking for Edgar Allan Poe through the Alan Parsons Project. Here's the only story I've read (so far) - http://poestories.com/read/systemoftarr - and my favourite Alan Parsons Project song (at the moment) to go along with it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHNxBheFAt4. (Quite plainly, I discovered the story through the song - their album Tales Of Mystery And Imagination was a concept album based on Poe's works.)

I acutally wrote it about Stevie and myself. Its about how I hear her voice, singing everday - but never once I have met her.

So I wrote this a few weeks ago and I don't really like it.... but I think its something a little different from me so whatever, I can post it.
Untitled I broke my wrists and broke my spine and the entire time that I lay in that bed I wondered how I’d bend— I wondered if I could melt the lines off the clock, or the ones on my face that I saw in a familiar nightmare. I wondered if I could still write with my tongue if my mouth became dry and my hands became numb. I wondered if I ever had anything worth writing about at all. Or if the fire in my veins and in- between my legs would surpass the time I don’t really have, if the moments of truth that I keep in my breast pocket were all that true at all. I wondered if love beat tirelessly when the gentle beat of the world was gone, if the seconds that turned into hours that turned into days were really as wasted as I once thought. I wondered if I’ll miss what it feels like to rock a baby to sleep while I am falling asleep in the arms of my own baby, if the systematic sway of the numbers and figures that carry our world would carry me to the world beyond this. I wondered if this world is so great after all, if beauty can breathe in its own precious life, if I can outlive all of these moments of wondering where to begin. |

I'm glad I'm inspiring you to write some lovely poetry on my Facebook wall, David.
To everyone else: thank you. But seriously, you guys flatter me... the frustrating thing about art is that I don't know if it's ever possible to be satisfied! |

Beethoven was often dissatisfied, especially with his early compositions; but was also often very satisfied, as he was with his Missa Solemnis.

Hi,
I really want to write a novel... But when I start one, I just stop writing. I'ts really annoying becuase I have a huge amount of ideas in my head. Sometimes I think it's just becuase I am so young But then, there is this kid I know who has written an novel and that gets me - jealous. ARRGH! (Help much appreciated!)

If you're really serious about writing a novel, why not set yourself a target? e.g. "I'm going to write 200 words a day". Even if what you write isn't for the novel, or it's just writing whatever pops into your head, it's still getting you into the writing frame of mind. Once you get into the habit of writing, the ideas should begin to come at that time every day and you can make your targets bigger and it might begin to take shape. (I study creative writing at university.. this is pretty much all we do ) |

I agree with everything that LittleCharmer said.
Honestly, literary inspiration just doesn't erupt out of you. I have to either wait around to feel inspired or go force inspiration onto myself. For instance, when I was writing my one and only short story, I went and stood on an overpass at night maybe ten different times. My story partially took place on an overpass, so I would literally just stand there at 10PM and talk to myself. I got a lot of weird looks but honestly? I never would have written that story without it, and I'm actually fairly happy with it now. So writing IS a discipline-- it takes perseverance, motivation, resilliance. More than anything, it takes a genuine interest in your topic. I have never written about something I don't care about, although I have tried many times (and failed miserably). With that in mind, if you're going to tackle a novel, don't go into it blindly. Plan out the intimate details of the plotline before you start writing. Know everything you want to eventually happen within the story and get yourself excited! If you have a strong sense of where your story will eventually go, you'll be more excited to eventually finish it. Have direction, and then you will build focus. Good luck! |
