What do you do when you're feeling depressed, or stressed?
LJH replied to WatchPatRun's topic in The Lounge
Benji - i find that helps too. -
Thanks Fishie. I was inspired by Oscar Pistorius to write this story. Pity that he strayed off track in real life. I wanted the reader to be there, on the track, and that means engaging the reader by showing instead of telling. I hope I have succeeded.

Thank you Fishie. I really appreciate your input. This was developed as a character building excercise for another site, and there was a word limit so I had to squeeze every word and find the exact words to tell the story. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hugs

Oh, believe it, Colton is going to learn the hard way. Richard is a calm, kind of decent gent, and the more I write and interview him, the more I like him too. It all does seem pretty hopless at the moment for Jack, but there is a plan. And Sue, well, she has police experience so she's going to be a tough one to break. Hugs and respect

Thanks for reading Jo Anne. Don't know why I didn't reply to your comment before. I don't like killing my protagonists off so i guess they are going to be around for quite a while. That being said, it's quite something to write Colton's story against this violent backdrop without bring violence into the story. But better times are coming...we'll just have to wait and see.

Thanx for reading. Peter is dysfunctional, as are the rest of his team. It's not to say that all IRA members were this bad. I do believe in developing the bad guy larger than life, and in that sense, yes, I'm making him look like a man intent to do as much harm as possible. How far it will go, I can't say yet.

Thanks Jo Anne. Peter is not a guy with whom I would play hopscotch. The IRA turned on all whom they perceived to be traitors among their ranks. I guess it's true for military organisation, not just the IRA. We shall see how things develop in the next two chapters, maybe there will be something positive coming out of all this. I hope so. Thanks for reading and being so supportive. Hugs

‘Where do you think you’re going?” Peter cocked a weapon and pushed it against Jack’s head. Jack lamented. He gasped as the cold metallic barrel touched his left temple and adrenalin surged through his body. His heart beat faster. His mouth went dry. ‘Both of you, place your hands above your head where I can see them. Don’t make any smart moves Ray.’ Peter said, quietly. ‘What the fuck are you doing helping this moron in the first place?’ Ray remained silent. If he spoke now, he would gi

Something is bothering you bro. Find it and crush it. You need peace in order to sleep. Peace is when the whole world seems to be in harmony with you and vice versa.

A story within a story. At one point the reader willbe compelled to scream at the writer for the ending, but that's all good. It shows how compelling a drama this is. I enjoyed the three points of view to the inner story. Be careful what you wish for. It might just be the death of you.

Sometimes we are all subdued with affection from the most unlikeliest of people. We think we know someone well, only to find out that we actually don't know the person at all. In fact, more surprising when we realise that the affection goes deeper than just friendship. An engrossing second half. Compelling. Needs editing. But a pleasant, lighthearted, story.

One of those stories where the reader has no option but to feel sorry for the main character. A well written story of loss and sadness. The ending had me crying out and I hope Pete heard me. It's up to the reader to decide, to take the ending where he wants it to be taken. There is so much more to life, than death I like to believe.

Brilliant in every way. The work of a writer who knows his craft. The story evolved quite smoothly. The metaphore of the mittens absorbing the harshness of the world is genius.

The sadness in this story struck a nerve on several levels. Beautifully told. The brutality of homophobia is tangible in this tale. It's a story of true, raw love. Jess and Kevin had an entire lifetime to look forward to. In the horror of it all I cried for Jess. Such a sense of hopelessness pervaded the story. Some of us will die for each other. And it has happened. The story of the Titanic comes to mind; dying for each other, dying together etc.

For a debut, this story has CRUNCH! The first word hooked me and I read and read and read right through and had to read it again from the start. The interaction between the main characters engaged me and I was spellbound. A great, uplifting end. I wanted it to continue.

The writer writes with such conviction. His sentences are alive and move across the page as the reader comes to know the main character's mind and how he has come to this point. His destiny was written into the stars the moment he was conceived. And he welcomes his destiny with a truth and a poignancy that is all too scarce in our modern world.

The characters are fun to be with in this Halloween drama. There are times when the ghosts of our past materialize to make our lives live-able. The ending was so sad and my emotions poured out for Nick. The dialogue is written to show character and this is where lies the strength in this story. Well told, and emotionally satisfying.

Very very nice

Wow will you look at that. Hmmmm firefox .... -
Thanks to Myr , AJ and Cia and Talonrider and Trebbs and Renee Stevens for all their hard work, without whom this site would not be a great site. Well done folks.

I love how the story opens with an incident to hook the reader. As I read I felt that there would be many people who visit social sites will identify with this. I particularly enjoyed the way you allow the reader to get into Chris's head and the way he feels, and of course your descriptions are always tops. The last line was just...fabulous.
