And Amem! God bless us with a good boss/client!

I can relate a littlle bit  to this toxic client you’ve been freed.

How about a non fictional text about this?  Or a short story ? Laying such an experience on paper may be a good start.

I didn’t know Wise Blood. I will read it for sure. By the time SE launched the reading club on The Promise of Jesse Woods I tried to buy it, but I just couldn’t. Maybe…[Read more]

I think this character is disappointed in the church. His arc will be: how to trust again the children of God?

Thanks also for suggesting to pray over this theme. Yes, The…[Read more]

Have you ever tried to portray “disappointment with the church” on any writting of yours?

Do you have any suggestion?

I’m wrinting about a man (40 years old, single) who lost something very precious due to bad counsel from brothers.  I didn’t decided yet if it will have an happy end.

As an  architect INFJ/T too, I would leave my bed early to ride my bike or to take a long walk on a park, with abundant trees. Alone. After that, I would apreciate to have lunch with a special friend on a nice restaurant.

I enjoyed the descriptions. I could feel being tired too.

1) Do you wear shoes? How many?

2) Have you ever done any handmade things? Which ones?

3) Are you ashamed of something? Is there anyone who knows it?

Invisible hands guide mine trough a tango

How nice this sentence: “When something goes wrong in your life, just yell, “Plot twist!” and keep going.” !

1) What is the most oddly satisfying thing for them?.

Playing bass with friends. Walking very early in the mornig, while the sun is rising.

2) What animal creeps them out the most?

Creeps? Maybe cats.

3) Are they good at carrying a conversation? Yes, but with few words. He’s a quite silent guy. He enjoys being around…[Read more]

I’ve read Fancine Prose’s book.  Some questions remembered me her book.

But I would apreciate some stories of a priest where he can do his job in peace, like if it could be a normal part…[Read more]

What’s happening changed peoples perspective of live. We are dealing with things that few of us could imagine.  And so fast. I guess I needed some time to rest these ideas. I fell that what I’m about to write will be…[Read more]

So, an possible…[Read more]

Oh, If I could, I would invite her to go to some beach and just forget this smalminded school people!

Does it works? Enjoy and critique.

Salmo

 I’ll be weak beforme my God
The one whose praise is worth
I’ll be weak before my God
The one who made me of His own
 
 I may live in a huge desert
One He personally knows
Oh, God!
Help this pouring soul!

Sometimes I feel exactly like this.

There is a Word War on SE.

Sorry for taking so long to answer (*shame*)

And thanks too, @andrew.

I like small poetry. In fact, my goal is 15/18 lines. So, if it is not enough, let’s rewrite! (I intended to portray loneliness.)

Now, your turn, guys.

No hope

I keep my eyes open untill night

I keep myself asleep 

Listening silent stars.

(I just forget they are above, really above)

I read.

I play cards alone.

I wash one cup.

How old is your younger sister? How does she shows afection toward her mom?

Maybe you should invite her to prepare somenthing of her own that could be added to book project . Just ask her what could be (she may want to contribut with…[Read more]

About L., I’m not sure if anyone would go on asking the way he does (in the middle of the text, in fatc).

(I’m not sure about L. behavior in the end. If it is convincing.)

It’s a english version of a short story written in Portuguese.

But Maristela was in panic. Shy and talkative, she went on telling her ideas to change the world (at least, sharing some succesful experiences on smaller tasks).

Just a question: when ‘Post personal writing schedule and request critique partner” is supposed to hapen?

Sorry, I didn’t get the point.

I write free style poetry, small non-fiction stories and things like Lydia Davis’ style.

I would like to write non-fiction as a professional, if it’s God’s will.

Don’t foget the bread!

It took a litlle bit to get it, but it’s amazing! I like the “shade vs light” theme. It’s like a writer’s vow.

Very well done.

1) well managed prose

2) characters that face important problems and deal well with it.

3) missing the places the characters once were.

as frozen eyes that had me hosted.

First attempt done (kinda weird, I guess).

About “To Those Who Want But never Give”, I would like to say that the topic is very good!. The beginig with tree verses with the same structure works very well. I just would try to write with less rimes in the second part of the poem (in the first part there was live/desire well done).

About ““Self-consciousness” I would…[Read more]

I write poetry and short fiction, but I read novels and poetry too. Last week I started one book of Tomas Mann (Doctor Faustus).

I live in Brazil and I ‘m happy here. I live in the very south of the country, which means that my home is closer to Argentina than Rio de Janeiro. Oh, I’d never met Rio or…[Read more]

It’s not easy to say “hello” here. I’m afraid of writing something wrong or being misunderstood.

Why?

English is my second language. A very loved one, but the second.

I’m a Portuguese speaker (born in Brazil), christian student of creative writing, who loves Psalms and poetry.

I’m here because I don’t know other christian…[Read more]
