Marc is a man with a dangerous problem. When his brother won't give up trying to help him will he accept that help?

Someone recently said to me that all I would ever be, all I could ever do, was what I was doing now. Just floating along on the surface of the sea of life, never challenging myself. I'd just shrugged in response, not knowing if they were right, and not really caring either. I got up, I went to work, I came home to sit on my ratty futon before I hauled myself off to my lonely bed. “Jeez…Demarcus, when are you going to give this crap up?” asked my brother in disgust when he showed up out

For You! Have a great day!

Welcome! Don't feel alone. I, too, have only been writing for a year. There are people here at all different levels of writing skills. This is a great place to get feedback and learn those little touches that make a good story great. I hope you enjoy the community you find.

Changing Focus By: Cia Sean plucked his damp t-shirt away from his sweaty back, balancing on the crotch of the tree he had climbed in pursuit of a perfect blossom he had spotted from the ground. The weather was cool, still in the 60s but the afternoon sun beat down on his shoulders and head, making him a bit warmer than he would like. Oh well, he'd be going home tomorrow with the results of his labor, surely a few of the images he had been able to capture would fit in with his projec

Sean was out in the woods taking pictures alone, at least he thought he was...

LOL, it's never too late for Congrats! Thanks guys!!

Light and Dark are opposing forces, destined to be apart forever. Everyone knows that until someone decides to take what he desires, consequences be damned!

Eren's Light By Cia The sun had sunk behind the earth but still lit up the clouds until they looked as if they were on fire, lit from behind, painting the sky with flames of orange across the blue that was deepening into the indigo that presaged the coming night. I sat in the field, surrounded by grass and flowers and peace. But I was anything but peaceful. I wondered how it would feel if I was lit up as bright as those clouds, my own personal sun having been lit insid

I think guys are better tasting than girls tbh, but then I'm bi leaning guy. Overall the shaved look is so much cleaner, though it doesn't have to be an all or nothing affair. Just my 2 cents Boobs are okay but I like butts better. Why is there no butt option. A woman with a nice butt in a skirt of jeans... yep, I'd walk behind that for a few extra blocks

Wow, sounds like life is rolling right along for you. I would say wait til you hit 30 but I've found 29 is the year I am doing a lot of evaluation about who I am and who I wanted to be by now. Maybe that's just a woman thing, since 29 is supposed to be so awful.

Thanks everyone! It's a great compliment to be chosen from among the great writers here at GA. I really appeciate all the congats (and kitteh's), they've made my day!

I am glad your natural up-ness is back though I'm even gladder (yes I know, silly word. Blame Pollyanna a guilty pleasure of mine to watch) Anyway, even gladder you were able to vent to us and let it out. Whether or not saying what you were feeling will do any good and the fact that the pat answers don't help (not that we tried to give you any), you got it out. Sometimes that is all that is needed to really feel like someone is noticing you and how you really feel. Believe me, you have a ton of people here who care and are with you in spirit. Hugs!

If your lack of knowledge bothers you than do something about it. If it doesn't then say screw off to everyone else. I love to learn. I am a trivia hound, I was raised to be one but I get that other people might not know the esoteric things I might. Then again I'm a political null, I have no interest in it.I can't even tell you definitively what party our President is. So I can get the fact that learning stuff you have no interest in is really not for you. I speak to the subjects I know and if I do not know something that someone mentions and I'm interested I look it up. If I'm not interested then I don't worry about it. You are the only one who can really decide what you are going to learn in life. I encourage you to read widely and learn because I feel we should never stop but unless you care it won't do you any good because you won't retain the information. If you get tired of feeling ignorant then do something about it.

Hugs Nephy. Sometimes when a person is very strong others forget they have moments of vulnerability and need as well. I'm sorry you can't get what you need to nurture you as a person, sacrificing your happiness for your child is very very admirable. I know as a parent we're supposed to but 'supposed to' doesn't make it any easier. I admire your choices, I know how hard they are. Hugs and luvs!!

I don't really care about the porn honestly. Plus I've noticed at least most hetero porn is pull out because they like to have the 'money shots'. As for myself, being married and in the same relationship for so long without an outside partners I haven't considered needing condoms well, really, ever. And when I did it was procreation issues, not std's. Personally I hate condoms.

Good luck with this. It's a very difficult choice. What do you WANT to do? Do you want to take the job in your current company? Is it possible to pinch or change your current bill outtake by moving or reducing things to make it work at your current job? Can you guarantee those other job's monetary promises are going to come through? It is sooo much easier to find a job when you have one so not making a hasty choice is definitely preferable. However, I understand the the total quagmire that increasing debt due to insufficient income puts you in. Sometimes you have no 'best' choice, just what is the lesser of the not so great options. Making 'more' money if you don't absolutely need it and turning down the smart choice in the long run to do so would be unwise. Really weighing your options and making your choice based on long term projections of both the value of things now and what they might be down the road is smart. Will those other jobs continue to have the same or higher wage earning capabilities as your current job in the future? You aren't being greedy, really. You are trying to figure out what is best both currently and for your future. Only you can say which is more important.

Exactly! If i am really 'feeling' the story I can write any of the emotions. I guess emotion mostly comes into play for me for the actual writing, not the content I'm writing. Good point!

I'm not that connected to my writing to need to be experiencing an emotion in order to be able to write it. I can be perfectly fine and write torture and angst for my characters (partly because it causes me glee, I'm horrible, I know). However I do find whatever mood I am in does tend to leak out. Humor a character finds in a moment of sadness, a space of quiet contemplation after a joyful meeting, sadness and death suddenly striking, those come out because of how I feel. If I can't focus enough on the story to really pay attention to the characters and their tale then I just don't write.
