There’s no steady rhyme or rhythm, just thoughts. There’s internal rhyme and half-rhyme though!
It’s 3 stanzas long and it takes about 20 secs to read.
Hey maybe if I go swimming, it might help when I get writer’s block??
I don’t swim enough..
I want to swim.
Swimming.

Earlier on, I downloaded some software specifically designed for writing, and it is so awesome! AND FREE!
Why I’ve not downloaded anything more catered to my needs than Word, I really don’t know.
There’s planning for EVERYTHING, even how long a scene lasts and what time of day it occurs at, I can even plan how many words I want to write over any period of time.
It’s like a natural instinct for me to feel at ease whenever I see him. Something in his eyes makes me feel at home. It’s as if he’s someone close who is welcoming me back after a long day and I only have to look into his eyes to feel better, he doesn’t even have to say, “Welcome home” because I feel it in his eyes; I’m always welcome.
Sometimes I feel like I know him, but I’ve never met him, not once…however, he has a knowing look in his eyes, it’s friendly, approachable, and very calming. I could aptly describe his affect on me as akin to drinking a hot cup of tea; I feel very warm, soothed, and suddenly so full of bliss that I get lost in myself for a while.
When I see his face and then watch as he opens his mouth to sing, it’s as if someone is gently pouring cool water over my whole body, like I’m slowly drowning in a sea of bliss. I close my eyes and let myself succumb to his melody, allowing it to wrap itself softly around my being and just float, float in a pool of nothingness as his voice purrs on and on.
Me on Anthony Kiedis
Lots of things might happen. That’s the thing about writers. They’re unpredictable. They might bring you eggs in bed for breakfast, or they might all but ignore you for days. They might bring you eggs in bed at three in the morning. Or they might wake you up for sex at three in the morning. Or make love at four in the afternoon. They might not sleep at all. Or they might sleep right through the alarm and forget to get you up for work. Or call you home from work to kill a spider. Or refuse to speak to you after finding out you’ve never seen To Kill A Mockingbird. Or spend the last of the rent money on five kinds of soap. Or sell your textbooks for cash halfway through the semester. Or leave you love notes in your pockets. Or wash you pants with Post-It notes in the pockets so your laundry comes out covered in bits of wet paper. They might cry if the Post-It notes are unread all over your pants. It’s an unpredictable life.
But what happens if a writer falls in love with you?
This is a little more predictable. You will find your hemp necklace with the glass mushroom pendant around the neck of someone at a bus stop in a short story. Your favorite shoes will mysteriously disappear, and show up in a poem. The watch you always wear, the watch you own but never wear, the fact that you’ve never worn a watch: they suddenly belong to characters you’ve never known. And yet they’re you. They’re not you; they’re someone else entirely, but they toss their hair like you. They use the same colloquialisms as you. They scratch their nose when they lie like you. Sometimes they will be narrators; sometimes protagonists, sometimes villains. Sometimes they will be nobodies, an unimportant, static prop. This might amuse you at first. Or confuse you. You might be bewildered when books turn into mirrors. You might try to see yourself how your beloved writer sees you when you read a poem about someone who has your middle name or prose about someone who has never seen To Kill A Mockingbird. These poems and novels and short stories, they will scatter into the wind. You will wonder if you’re wandering through the pages of some story you’ve never even read. There’s no way to know. And no way to erase it. Even if you leave, a part of you will always be left behind.
If a writer falls in love with you, you can never die.
I’ve never really read thhings that other people have written on a regular basis, other than when I was on the livejournal fanfic communities…and you can do fanfic here too, as well as any other genre. :3
In addition, if anyone knows of any other good writing communities, I wanna know.
If you like music, play an instrument or enjoy a bit of double entendre, read on!
I find it hard to keep at it but I really want to this time!
At first it was just a guy playing guitar and getting lost in the sound but then the entire thing became sexual innuendo. Me gusta… It’s not blatantly obvious though, I never mention sex at all in it.
I had Josh Klinghoffer in mind, probably why it went this way….
But it’s still hot. ;3
Just joined http://www.booksie.com How have I not joined a writing community before? I need to sort my priorities out…
Knowing me - yet I do not wish for this to happen at all - I will get bored of this in a month.
Curse you, fickle mentality!
