    Uplifted Spirit commented on Uplifted Spirit's story chapter in Chapter 5

    You made me laugh. I'm trying my best to write from my experience from when I was a lot younger. I'm what I guess many would consider old, but I still feel young at heart and those experiences from you youth are still with me. Thanks for your comments.

    Thanks for your input. Sometimes it's good to have people who demonstrate positive values. She's bold and in a way shamed them into doing what's right.

    Your comments are greatly appreciated. I'm doing my best to make these guys seem like everyday teenagers with the doubts of 14 years olds as they try to find their way in the world.

    Chapter 5

    Uplifted Spirit posted new chapter in Knots

    Andy I nudged Matt on the way to our bikes. “That Emily's really hot, don’t you think?” “Yeah, but I like Gina. There’s something about her. Of course I’d rather look at your hot body,” Matt said. I don’t know why Matt said that. I wondered if he was serious. I’ve caught him looking me up and down a lot lately. Seems he likes my skinny body. It kinda builds my confidence. I don’t blame him for looking. I’d be upset if he didn’t look once in awhile.

    Andy Matt looked pissed when I rode up late for our mowing job, but seemed to understand once I explained it to him. There was this big tangle of knots I tied when the hitch broke. I got so frustrated when I tried to untie it, that I just cut the rope which was kind of stupid because I didn’t have any rope to tie it back up. Yeah, it’s those damn knots again. Fortunately, the Hemsteads were glad to give me some rope. I took off my shirt before we started one engine,

    Thanks for your comment Lisa. You summarized exactly what I'm trying to do.

    Andy Matt asked if I’d write something about the things that happened in our freshman year in high school. I didn’t want to, but he used our long friendship, since second grade, to make me feel guilty. He listed different things we did that year and asked me to write what I remember about them. We agreed to be honest, and considering what happened, I don’t have any problem being honest with Matt. We mowed lawns together that summer. We’d take our shirts off and I constantly lo

    Thanks Lisa. I'm glad you responded the way you did. Makes me think I made them human and not fictional characters.

    Thanks. My goal is to try to represent what boys this age go through. I wanted it to be more universal. Adolescence is always filled with a lot of self-doubt.

    I appreciate your comment. I'm wondering why you saw it in black and white.

    Chapter 2 - Matt

    Uplifted Spirit posted new chapter in Knots

    Matt The Next Day I rushed to the swimming hole the next day, parked my bike, and heard voices when I got close. My step slowed as I approached and looked through the trees. Andy had brought boys and some girls from our class. My heart thumped, then skipped a couple beats. I jstood there, hurt. He’d taken something special between us and shared it with everyone. “Matt, I see you. Come on out,” Andy yelled. I sauntered out and smiled at everyone. “What

It documents the challenges their friendship faces as the boys move through their freshman year in high school. Each part of the series covers a year of the boys' high school life until they graduate from high school.

    Chapter 1 - Matt

    Uplifted Spirit posted new chapter in Knots

    Matt Andy and I were fourteen the summer before our freshman year at Edison High School, a school of about 750 students located in the small conservative town of Canby. That summer, and the year that followed, are as clear as a high def digital movie in my head. It’s no secret. Andy was my best friend and I loved him. Looking back on that time makes me think of knots. You know, those knots that seem to come from nowhere when it’s usually because we were a

    Maybe I should add, that knots is about two teenage boys who are experiencing the successes and failures of growing up.

    Hello, I'm Eilias Donovan Scott. Yes, it's an alias. I'm 70 years old and young at heart, which I hope you will notice from the stories I submit. I've written many stories, but will be submitting my novel, Knots, which is about the knots we tie in our lives.
