I competed and won last year. I've even edited the story that came out of last year's NaNo and am thinking about shopping it as a novella or short story to a few places. Not sure just yet, but I've done about 10 edits since last year and feel that i…
Every November millions of writers unite under the crazy idea of writing a full novel in one month...are you insane too?
Hey there.....sorry I haven't added anything lately. I think I'm at a creative crossroads. I haven't felt very creative or imaginative and therefore feel that I cannont, in good conscience, add to either the story or the poem. I hope to be out of my…
Getting out of the Barracuda, Sinjin stepped toward his door. His secretary, Dixie, was already at the office, which meant that she wanted something . . . Dixie never came early unless she wanted to leave or wanted a raise. Sinjin thought about it a…
Experiencing the taste of you is joy so sweet
The soft dew drops from your tongue make me feel complete
My precious flower, you are dear to my heart
Dreaded is the time we are apart
The longing for is excruciating pain
Suffering survives so seductio…
The waves crashed on the jagged rocks, sending salty water in a spray, glistening in the moonlight. Fate seemed to be intervening tonight as everything was going right for a change. Ghostly apparitions seemed to dance in the shadows of the rocks. De…
Emily,
First of all, let me welcome you to the Box. Second, there are plenty of writers that have confidence issues - some published and some not published at all. Everything that has been said so far is true. You will be laughed at, you will be cr…

Look at it like this: Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are the best two players in the NBA, but there are dozens of other All-Stars. You can be one, too. And believe Kobe and LeBron have confidence issues, too. That's one reason why they work so hard. It's part of the game. Just keep writing.

Snippets of Inspiration
Below are three different paragraphs that I wrote last month in a vain attempt at creativity. Sadly, this is all that these paragaphs were. Any thoughts? Does one sound better than the other? Is it possible to turn one of these into a story that could be interesting?
