Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: My distant uncle is a kidnapper who ended up killing the poor kid... Nobody in the family ever visits him in jail. Yes he is in there for life. Edit: I never knew the post would get any attention. For those who are interested here is the story. This was ma ....
Comment preview: When I was in kindergarten learning to write, the teacher noticed that I always turned my head so that my left eye was pointing directly at the page on which I was writing. My folks took me to an optometrist, who convinced them I was doing it for attention ....
Comment preview: Sure! This is a chart of my moods throughout the day. I have health issues/chronic pain/anxiety. It also shows certain symptoms. I've noticed that charting my moods actually makes my 'bad moods' not last as long. When you are actually pressing a button tha ....
Comment preview: Hey guys, A few months back I got a bad bad batch of glue which I used to assemble a huge Warhammer Empire Army and a Chaos Army. You've probably heard of the bad glue batch by now, but for those of you who have not, it caused the GW plastic glue to crysta ....
Comment preview: I don't remember a lot of things but according to my mother, I was a horrible child that did a lot of bad things. I apparently got kicked out of two preschools but I don't remember any of it. Most people who know me now wouldn't believe it (I don't really ....
Comment preview: Sad to say 25 year old me would not have listened. But if I could have forced myself to listen. I would tell myself that I enjoy getting wasted so much because it distracts me from all of my bad/depressive feelings, which are very real. I would explain th ....
Comment preview: The fights scenes had a lot of gymnastics for no reason, exposing vulnerabilities for no reason, and generally looking nothing like how a normal person would imagine a light saber fight. "my opponent is attacking my right side, should I move my blade sligh ....
Comment preview: I don't think so. I think a lot of readers here may be confused by the money. I don't care about money in that amount, not really. I'm perfectly content, currently, with having a hundred books on Amazon wishlist I'd never be able to afford. Just living cle ....
Comment preview: Don't say "your b" because that's mean. Let me explain. I was in 3rd grade, living in a small town in Kentucky. I was chilling with my friend... Let's call him Sam, because his name is Sam. His family was moving away to Texas, and that day was his last day ....
Comment preview: She wasn't my bad english teacher, actually. The bad one was in 8th grade, and (among other things) got me fired from a *job* writing at the local paper. I was crushed because I worked my ass of to earn that job, loved it, and was actually earning some spe ....
Comment preview: * God: Don't eat from this tree. * Adam: Why? * God: Cause I said so, that's why! * Adam: What happens if I do? * God: Me damn... look, just don't, okay? It's bad... * Adam: What is 'bad'? * God: I uh, can't... look, just, don't eat it okay? * Adam: Okay, ....
Comment preview: I think it' a good conversation to have. I can't vouch for all retail establishments or chains, but pretty much in my company, one bad visit by a Regional Manager, Area President, or a year of bad scores for whatever legitimate reason whatsoever and us as ....
Comment preview: A common trend I have noticed when people describe their bad trips regardless of the experience of the user is that the FIRST thing that happens is that they become scared- whether they became scared of the side effects of the drug itself such as is your s ....
Comment preview: As a customer, I screwed up some time ago, and was gallant about it. I thought I might let you know not all customers are 100% arseholes. A leaflet enters my house through the mail slot. It catches my attention, because it mentiones smoke alarms at a great ....
Comment preview: I've told this story before, but it seems to be relevant to the discussion. My daughter told me this story when she was around four years old. _(This is as close as I can remember to her exact wording, and told from her perspective)_ I was with my old fami ....
Comment preview: Eleanor projected me a smile because I had made her lemonade just right today; not too sweet, just enough to cut the acidity. Of course she couldn t drink it, but it reminded her of better times. Her grandson, Clifford, projected upset because I had taken ....
Comment preview: My daughter has always had night terrors, since she was only a couple of months old, the doctor said it was just gas (and that babies don't dream), but he didn't see the absolute look of terror night after night, even after having changed her diet and eati ....
Comment preview: This is so bad that it sounds made up, but it's 100% true. When I was about 17 I worked this place called Roger's Pitt BBQ. My job was salad bar duty. The boss explained how my main job was to flip over food in the little plastic trays to make it look fres ....
Comment preview: Nope, sorry. I fully stand by my statement. If my mum was dying and my job expected my undivided attention on a financial scale which dwarfed my income, I'd talk to my boss about a leave of absence or would otherwise find a way to work while making concess ....
Comment preview: You sister probably struggled for a very long time before she got the courage to admit her relationship is rough. And when she finally acts like an adult and starts taking action (ie, admitting there's a problem), you go and beat the shit out of her husban ....
Comment preview: I grew up in a house where I heard from mom often how the world treated her bad because of her weight. she wanted to be accepted for who she was. As I got older I saw things differently. I saw her break someones chair because it couldn't hold her weight. O ....
Comment preview: omg I have been waiting all my life for this thread....I am 2 months shy of getting my BA from ITT in WA state. Worst. Mistake. Of. My. Life. I was running away from the real estate biz in 2006 when I literally clicked on the first college ad I saw online ....
Comment preview: This, OP. Especially if your family does not have a history of being controlling, abusive, or crazy themselves. (There's not enough information in the post right now for me to judge accurately.) My family often saw what my bad ex's were long before I ever ....
Comment preview: When i was a kid i had a real dream of becoming a secret agent or a ninja. And a part of that dream was to create traps for enemies, and i did that quite a lot. Once i was home alone and thinking about how i could trap my enemies. For some reason i thought ....
Comment preview: This reminds me of when I was in grade school. I was in third grade, right on the border of hanging with the bad kids and being a good kid all on my lonesome. I was in the bathroom when one of my bad "friends" came in. After joking around and what not, an ....
