Withholding information also depends on the story. As a reader you want to discover things as your MC does. Knowing too much too soon kills the suspense. Whether it is two lovers who are learning about each other, a crime, the thrill of an amusement park ride, or the destructive force of nature, you want to keep your reader's interest. Half the fun in reading any story is getting from the beginning to the end, and then there is all the action in between.

Occasionally, I spill some of myself into a story. It is facing those parts of myself that are hurt, cruel, or dark that allow me to move forward. A lot of my writing goes hea. However, there are a few pieces that people have a hard time reading, and knowing where those stories came from, I'm glad it causes the reader to pause and see that, reflect on it, and hopefully excise it from their own life. Just my two cents.

Always feel like I'm behind. I did read and comment on all of them. -
Halloween Short Story Contest *Voting Open*

all done. They are very varied. -
Here I am thinking Green Man or new Dryads and it ends up being a drug dealer? Disappointing to find it so mundane. Good story, although Jonah will probably have a field day with this.
-
Seems like a mess with no winners and lots of losers. I really feel sorry for Melissa,

Such a sad story. You can't help but feel for them and hope we don't slip back to that kind of bigotry.

This just seems to be a tale of three poor souls. Bauer, who had love, but secrets in his past. Spencer, a sweet man waiting for his first kiss. And poor Dalton caught between them. Ghost stories are always somewhat sad. Nicely told.

Richard is a straight out creep. He is destroying people left and right. Jody needs help. He scared the hell out of me when he held the gun. Hearing about his suicide attempt was funny. However, if he is going to have a future he needs some counselling. Tommy needs to either be put up for sainthood or else in for help too. Staying with someone for five years while they sleep around is the act of a crazy man. Story was interesting and worry about the future of all four.

Aww. Poor Denny had a nightmare and didn't get to go trick or treating. Felt bad he dreamed of being possessed and never got any candy. Not happy with his teacher either.
-
Hmm. Brownies are have always been helpful spirits. Crows are carriers of knowledge and death. To see them working mischief was wrong. Then two angels show up too? Poor Dom was not having a good Halloween.
-
Poor Christopher. He grew up in fear of Halloween, only to solve the mystery behind the disappearance of all those children. You feel sorry for the eight families that lost their children, but hope having answers and finding their bodies brought some kind of peace. Grateful that the sheriff believed Christopher and that he wasn't made a suspect. Spooky tale.

Diego knows what he wants and goes for it, whether it was Taylor or Cairo, although I think he makes a much better part of a couple with Cairo. Milo, Parker, and Naomi help to set up a healthy relationship. I find Taylor to be really disgusting going to the Gibson site and making fun of Adam's death. Not sure I like Nicole making a bad joke worse. Glad to see Diego and Cairo talking. Hope their relationship blossoms.

Okay, I'm a bit slow but working my way through them. 2 down and 9 to go. Hope everyone enjoys them. -
Now there is a twist on demons and humans. Makes Monsters, Inc look calm. Great story.
-
Ooh. Dryads, angels, and demons. You have a whole cross section of myths and stories. Interesting twist to this. Enjoyed it greatly.

The final decorations were up and the fog machine pumped mist across the floor. Everything was just the way Desean would want it, but Camilo pushed that thought away. Desean was gone and he had to try to make things continue without him. He just had to plug in one more thing and he could leave the hall. “Camilo, damn, everything looks perfect!” Christina stood smiling as she looked over the hall. “You did a fantastic job, bro. I still can’t believe you did this all by yourself.” “I

Camilo had it all and tossed it away when he screwed Terry. Two months later and Halloween has rolled around bringing Desean and Camilo face to face. Is this a treat or a terrible trick of fate.
-
Like most things he had good and bad, but he was learning to cook, and discovering his interests. Glad you enjoyed the story.

It is because of that work that I'm making them on Sunday, my day off.
-
I've worked with your editor. She might mark up your work, but you can't really say she is wrong. Lol.
-
Mainly, I write for myself. Then my beta and editor. A good beta will let you know when you need more, and an editor rips out what you screwed up. As for comments, they let me know where I've connected or lost my reader. I'm happy to have some who read and comment on everything, but always happy to hear from anyone, especially those who have an honest opinion. I know my work won't appeal to everyone, but hearing this is great won't allow me to grow. Lately just takes me longer due to some eye issues, but still doing my best.
-
Wow. I'm glad to see so many people shared.

Caz I'm just reading this forum again. If you need recipes again, I'll give you my apple cake recipe.

Unfortunately, I've seen it happen to people I call friends on here. It sucks knowing their hard work was stolen and passed off as someone else's. My stuff is too short to be stolen. I am not as professional as most. I write because I like to tell the sort of stories I want to read. Just wish that people would learn a little respect for the property of others. Thank you to the Administration for working so hard.
