Journal Entry: Fri Oct 30, 2009, 7:20 PM



With my lack of creative journal titles

I submitted two entries to #Writers-Workshop's new extended metaphor workshop. I'm quite pleased with both, considering they were done within an hour. Now I dare each of you (who are writers) to try this workshop out. #Writers-Workshop could really use the support.

=Amriah

PS: The features will stay up for the rest of the week (until next Sunday).

PPS: I like eating scalloped potatoes with my hands. :evillaugh:

Features

--Sorceress' Rain: Prologue by *kadarian.

This is a very intriguing prologue. It pulls you into the trial of Rain D’Karinae and never lets go.

--The Originality Illusion by =illuminara

=illuminara has a whole gallery of writing guides that you should check out. You might find them helpful, since she is a fantastic writer!

--Rope by ~vital-organs

I'll have to confess, this story is...very close to what I've experienced in the past--so much so that it alarmed me the first time I read it. The impact it makes is strong, and the twist blindsides you. Definitely worth the read.

--Arman and the Flaming Dragon by =roninspath

This is one of the funniest twists on the "knight in shining armor, save me from the evil dragon" theme. Better than Shrek on many levels (in that theme, at least). If you want teh lulz, go read!

--Dark Sketchbook 1 by ~Schizmist

Ben colored something for once! Okay, I'm being mean. I like the style of the picture and, as someone commented, it does look Gorillaz-ish. Go check it out.

--More Llama... by ~cupcakemichi

I have to admit that the Llama Song influenced this choice. :giggle:



Stamps






  • Mood: Compassion
  • Listening to: Face to Face by Daft Punk
  • Reading: Everyman (a moral play written in the Middle Ages)
  • Eating: Chicken, scalloped potatoes, cornbread, and corn.
  • Drinking: Iced Tea (the inspiration for my poem Iced Tea)

that workshop looked interesting. i might participate, i have an idea forming in the back of mind and i'm kind of hoping that it's something that can be extended into a novel, because I still don't know what I'm writing for nano...

Oh, I'm considering entering that workshop as well. I have an idea that's been rather personal for me, though I'm not sure if it will be cliche or not. I shall have to try it out regardless.

And eating scalloped taters with your hands? Hmm, sounds adventurous!

There are a lot of people doing this workshop, so the entries are diverse and hardly cliché. =)

Considering how much I *love* metaphors, I think I'll skip this one. :P But I shall read your entries! Sometime . . . my sister went over our net usage limit AGAIN! So yeah . . . I think I'm going to strangle her. -.-
