Well, DD must be very patient. Unlike me. I expect 1,000 words a day.
No, I'm joking. i swear! DON'T. CHANGE. YOUR MIND!
Going to bed. night night.

I know this is hitting on a subject that has been gone over a couple times, but I feel it needs to be brought up again. I know when I joined, you seen who was voting on your story and what they voted. recently That has been changed. Now all you seee is a score has been made. But you have NO idea what they scored. YES, I would like to know WHO places a 2 or 3 on my story, only so I can try and understand why they would give me a great comment, then give me a 2 or 3. I have put on forced comment has to be made in hopes this would help, but it really doesn't. It really cost you votes, because after making a comment, people forget to vote, LOL. I think by voting being this way, that no name is put to the vote. It has givin trolls free reign.

You're not rambling and I heard you. I hope writing it all down helped? it often does for me. I'm around for a bit if you need to talk, I sent you a message.
You know, my mother in law and I have never really gotten on well, until my husband died. We were united in our grief and the guilt we felt because we couldn't help him. I especially have suffered from tremendous guilt and if only's. I was talking to her shortly after he died and a little confused at how supportive she was being and how close we had become. I said to her" Why are you being so nice? You should hate me, he died because I couldn't help him" (I said more than that, but you get the picture?) She hugged me, and she said "Darling, I of all people know what he was like, I know you did everything you could, so did I" (much crying) and I asked her again, why though and she said "because you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink" That got through to me, I understood then.
What's happening with this little girl is awful, it's especially hard when it's a child. I think the same applies though and you must not blame yourself.
Sorry, I am nowhere near as good at this as Rachel is. If you need a chat I am around for a bit. I hope you have managed to get some sleep.
love you. you're amazing.

It's almost 330 and I'm lying here awake. I can't turn my head off tonight. So many things have happened recently that I don't know whether I'm coming or going. I've lost an old friend today. He was going only 37 he was like a brother when we were kids. He and my brother raised much hell together. So very sad for his family. We also buried my husband's beloved uncle on Friday. It was a bittersweet day. So very sad that we lost this man but it's shameful to say the only time you get to see family members is at these kinds of things. I really don't know why i am saying all of this except I have much saying on me and I don't know where to turn. My dear friends have been helping me through so much but I feel like it's a lot for them too. I try to be so positive for those around me. A young girl that comes to my home is struggling. She told me she hates her scars and flaws. I tried to explain to her we are human everyone has flaws and scars some you can see and many you cannot. I asked her to tell me one person who doesn't. She told me mom you don't have any flaws. Wow. That's some big shoes to fill when I have many many flaws and scars that run deep. I tell you this because I was unable to reach inside her tonight and she took that razor across her skin. It killed me to read that text. She is such a beautiful young lady and I don't know how to help her. I can barely help myself some days. My heart is shattered in so many pieces. For her, my husband's family, my friends family, myself for not being enough for people to care to see what they do and how much their words and actions hurt. I truly feel broken tonight. I'm sorry for rambling I just needed to let some of this out. Thank you to anyone who hears me.
Kiera lies. the times she's kept me from going to a dark place are in the dozens. friends help you out because what they get from you is worth the energy it takes to keep you on this earth. i hope you are in a better place than when you wrote this. sometimes we just can't be as amazing as we all would like to be. that's ok. it's ok to only be amazing every once in a while, when it really counts. as for others, all you can do is listen. they make their own choices and you can't stop that, no matter how hard you wish you could - it does hurt. it hurts to know that you can't make a difference, but you forget that, you do, even if it's not the difference you wish it could be, even if it's small...

Speaking of "poor moderators," I'm working on a poem as well. It's not even close to done, but its saving grace will be that its word count will likely be in the dozens, not thousands or even hundreds.
good people 
Quote by RumpleForeskin
That said, your life could get even worse. Hate to spoil your day, but I've just submitted a contest poem. The only good news I can offer is it's very short with both quantity and quality being in equally short supply. Be brave, Buz. Be very, very brave.

Damn, I'm just imagining what a great story would evolve from this, co-written by Sprite and browncoffee
Ok back to work on my poem entry...what rhymes with "devil?"
for the record, i am not above co-writing with her, or anyone else. the only issue ever is that my method of writing tends to drive other people insane

You're not actually awake yet. You're sleep typing.
Hi all. I just want to take a nap. (Hmm.)
Hi Hannah and Rump and Rachel and anyone else
It's too early for anything. Lol
Quote by seeker4
Oh God, that one is awful. And it goes for gay males, too, though I've seen it more with lesbians. One taste of pussy isn't going to make a gay guy straight.
Though I must say, the reverse can be bad, too. Straight as an arrow man sucks his first cock and WHAM! gay as they come. Sure, have a straight character discover that they are bi and can enjoy both sexes, but to suddenly swing 180 degrees w/o warning? Usually I try to hint that they have at least entertained the fantasy before, even if it is their first time doing it.
Quote by Just_A_Guy_You_Know
lol I'm guilty of this.
It was actually based on a real-life friend of mine who was very certain she was a lesbian until she became attracted to a guy at her gym, which was very confusing for her. Eventually she married the guy, had children, and turned into a Stepford wife... but she seems happy, at least.
