I ask myself that question everyday and the awnser is nearly always different, however i have been going through this phase lately where i've been obsessing over wanting to be a journalist. I would be one who writes interesting insightful pieces on lifestyle or international issues and/or crisises, not grossly untrue gossip pieces on celebrities. Although it would be kind of fun to write exposes on scams and conspiracies like Sarah-Jane Smith in doctor who. \

*gasps* I'll be scarred by the pain of your words until the day I die! *begins to cry hysterically* But no, on a serious note, that's one of the things that makes it more fun, to leave all mistakes in. It's just funnier to read. : :) I knew that i was just teasing : .I love seeing spelling mistakes from ages ago they always make me laugh and take me right back to when I was little.

Can we all provide a small peace of writing to go with our answer? cool. Here goes. I made it up in the spur of the moment so it might not be very good. Its a short poem on belief. within the absesses of a sturdy body of notion an echo was heard this echo bounced on and off the walls of the cavernous absess completely changing its obstinate, exagerrated form this echo was known as doubt then as if in awnser to this echo there came another sound this sound was coming from a trickle of water it erroded at the walls of the absess until a more truthful structure emerged from the walls this trickle of water was known as honesty then another reply came this time it was the bell like tone of belief and as this tone rang out the unfathomable notion was gone for it no longer existed now that the truth was unveiled and believed Its a kind of wierd prose poem. I just sort of had the idea for it, because i've just been to see this video installation at a gallery. It was very moody. I think it touched on a buried nerve in my mind and i wanted to write more before i lost it. Its not the usual thing i would write though so maybe i should do another. Tell me what you think. :D :D

You know i love this!!!!!! :thumbsup:

Holy Macaroni? :D Tee Hee Hee :

lol :D :thumbsup: the cinderella themed one was particularly funny. What i want to know is are the spelling mistakes from 2001 or the present day???? Just joking!!! I'll try and find some things to post in this area asap.

Maybe. What does "Hm" mean. I'm gonna go and comment on your thread now!!! :D YAY! Hm means... well it's not shorthand or anything, it's literally short for 'hmmm' the sounds you make when you're thinking hard. Thankyou issy!!! I was a little confused. :

Maybe. What does "Hm" mean. I'm gonna go and comment on your thread now!!! :D

I think it does. But, correct me if I'm wrong, Andufus is male, yes? I can see why the first sentence would not appeal to a guy. oooh really? how? Anyway i think i'll keep the first sentence now. Thankyou v. much suziangel and issy2 :D It appeals to females rather than males because (Issy, don't shout at me) females are nosey. We hear something like that and we want to know more. Most guys need something with impact to get them to take notice. I know it sounds a little sexist, but do you see my point. Well I s'pose... : But I suppose it's true, in general (not all cases) girls want to know more... lol issy. I can smell the reluctancy in writng that comment. Meant in the friendliest possible way. :D

Thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone one for really great, helpful comments. :D :D :D . I really love getting constructive yet postive feedback. :thumbsup:

Thankyou so much Issy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D am doing some other stuff at the moment, but I'll get back to the story ASAP.

Thanks for all the comments!!!!! :D :D ( in response to suziangel's and issy2's) I changed the title to lady. I think it makes more sense and sounds better. I understand what you mean about "tailor", but i think the entire titlle has a nice ring to it. I may change it if i find a suitable replacement. :-k ( in response to andufus's) I'll give it some thought. I agree the first sentence should really catch the readers attention.

Harsh words. Don't lets lose sight of the vulnerable person at the centre of this argument.

Please comment!!!!!! :D any errors or suggestions let me know. I'm making it up as I go along :oops: , so any ideas on how to end it are welcome! Prologue Maria regarded the array of objects before her. Crimson soaked chaise lounges, oozing the sophisticated yet hyper glamour of the 1930ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s. Hand embroidered calf leather place mats, and a complete set of willow pattern china straight from the ports of Vietnam, lay untouched on fine Spanish oak dining tables. There were priceless crystal chandeliers and hand painted dressers discovered after much groping through the Milan archive of interior manufacture. And among this fine collection of mismatched home treasures lay one of the most puzzling paintings in the history of fine Dutch art. This strange sight of a room bulging with the most wonderful memories and stories that the 20th century and before had to offer, might have been a curious sight to behold had you not known what mistress was governing this private affair. It is time that I introduced you to the hostess of this gathering of belongings, the landlord of this estate of keepsakes, the leader of this party of possessions. Lady Gwyneth Tailor herself. The buyer to rival all buyers, the collector to challenge all collectors and most importantly the spender to silence all spenders. You are probably wondering what humble, polite, sensible Maria was doing in the luxurious apartment of the preposterous, in your face, grand Lady Gwyneth Tailor. Well the fact was Lady Gwyneth Tailor was facing a situation of bankruptcy. ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅLord in heavenÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

Alot of the time I write about the stuff i write about to make a point. Other than that i mostly write for pleasure :D . I always try to make the stuff I write about enjoyable. Just lately I've been really obsessed with journalism, but now i feel like writing something creative again . I find colours and specific elements of the world around me very inspirational as far as poems are concerned. Like issy i like writing stories in the past and i make my stories very descriptive. Something that particularly inspires me are concepts (seasons, ceremonies etc etc).

Listen to rushrock. I agree with everything he said, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that the people who listen to irulepoker and irulepoker are brainwashed, other than that he is apsolutely right. He knows what he's talking about. DON'T listen to irulepoker. The most important thing to do when you're depressed is not to give up on yourself. Following irulepoker's advice is like changing your personality to suit others, therefore it is like giving up on yourself because you don't have enough faith in your own personality and feel the need to copy others. If people don't think that you are good enough for them then don't get involved with them, they obviously don't understand you and can't accept you for who you are. Look for people who understand you and are like you ( share the same interests etc etc). My mum who is a psychiatrist says you should try to do more of the things you enjoy and focus less on the things you don't. Hold out there and talk to someone close to you if you get really desperate :

:D :D :D :D :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Its even better than the first version issy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! promise me you'll never give up poetry i think it would be a great loss to everyone with good taste, seriously. My mum says to tell you its "fabulous darling". =D>

Thankyou SuziAngel : . Yeah I get what you mean (deiphobus) I sometimes don't know when to stop when i'm describing things.

on topic: There's no reason that you shouldn't like the name because its a namesake, it was just a personal accusation. : Off: hi andufusthebronze. Is the picture above your profile by Mini Gray???? just wondering. :D

I liked it I thought it had certain bits that upstaged the other bits though. If your going for the full on descriptive style maybe you could brain storm some (fore-mentioned) similies and metaphors and decide which ones are better. I know its not the most grown up method but its very useful I think when your editing a piece to use brainstorms. I like the name Tess. Could it possibly be a namesake??????? :wink: :wink: I personally would give it 18,but keep improving. ps: I still don't know who george is. Or am I just such a dunce i can't spot it :XD:

=D> =D> It's a bit mixed up and I think a more structured rhythm might work well... but it's so fun to read I found myself ignoring that as I read! It's really great, maybe you should do another for summer and winter and spring or something? =D> =D> I don't think I'll do another poem a while, but i'm glad you liked it

:D :D :D i know its a bit late, but happy new year!!!! (to anyone who'd care to hear it).
