The blank page
stares at me
and I
strive
to drown it
in ink.

But the ink
refuses to obey me
and the white page taunts me.
It sticks out its tongue
and forces me to make up
something
to shut it up.

Sigh

Sigh...so true...my short story is stuck in a perpetual loop of the same ideas, none of which I want to use.

My short Story is Done!!!

My short Story is Done!!! It's been done. My problem is the little writing activities that we have to do with the story. It already had too much dialogue, so I used a different story I was working on. And I had to come up with something to write last class. I was sooo hoping to type it... Oh well. And try the train. It will at least let you think about what to put in, and worse comes to worse, you get to play with a train... I really should find the story I actually wrote using that form.
I get to be annoying about it until you reply to it :-D

We'd love to see you put the short story on the site. Perhaps you'd get some feedback. At minimum you'll get some readers.
cheers
