Broken Birds Part 29
|
deneb has a sense of how these things work. In my 30s, going back to college, for some reason a lot of women felt that I was they guy to carry their burden. Sometimes the healing was sexual, sometimes not, but in all cases once they had given me their darkness they wanted to get away from it and me. Unlike the guy in Green Mile, I couldn't just blow it out, I had to digest it and it took a while. It was the right thing to do but I quit dating for a few years. |

How to Write a Terrible Sex Story
|
Nice to see you back, Bashful. You are right on the money. I chose my name because of reading some great stories with spelling and grammar problems, and wanting to help instead of complain. Then the rules changed and most of the authors I liked left. If any of the new writers, or returning old writers, are writing stories like BashfulScribe suggests - but are still relying on spell check to find problems - maybe we can work together. |

How to Write a Terrible Sex Story
|
Anon1, these are paragraphs, not chapters, but when they get really long they are a little hard to read. Mark Twain did it a lot - some of his paragraphs were a single sentence. Yet, indentation and missing lines are ways to group sections together and indicate breaks between one idea or topic and another. ("Parsing" in computerese.) If overused it creates more confusion than it relieves. Italics and boldface are also used but they don't seem to be available here. This is an essay about writing. If you don't like essays about writing, move on. And don't read Stephen King's book "On Writing" either. |

No fear, this shows some real promise, the same quality of story with a new twist. Go for it! |
