But then again i need something practical, and had originally planned to study business. I am like working in an office environment. I am sure that i could be successful in business.

Question #6:Can you please help me?I'm 13 and for the past few days I have been feeling fine (not normal for me) then all of a sudden I feel like dieing. I often think of suicide as a pain escape, and cutting for my own punishment. I also keep getting pictures of myself hanging from a rope. On sept 5 I was sexually assaulted, my family was murdered and that's what I came home to. I was put into foster care andTo from family to family. I can't think straight. And what is sad is the only person I love that Is still alive is my pen pal. And I can't even see her. My mind doesn't think right and voices appear in by head. This isn't right. But I have no one to turn to what so ever. I'm also terrified of men after what happen to me, and have random panic attacks. I'm never happy one bit, and I never have energy to do anything cox I'm too depressed, the only thing I enjoy doing is writing poetry. Question #7:How can I properly prepare and submit my writing to a publisher?I'm an aspiring writer who writes poetry and currently short stories. After time I plan to write full novels. I would like to know the smartest and safest way to prepare and submit my writing to a publisher without having to worry about my ideas being stolen.Key Answers I'm Looking For: - How do I know my work is properly prepared? - How do I submit my work to a publisher? - What precautions do I take to ensure my work is safe? All relevant responses are welcome. Thank you to all who offer your input. Question #8:Recommend any literature about disaster?For my class we're trying to compile lists of books, poetry, and short stories about or related to natural disasters. They could even just have a nice message for people who have been through disasters, or be written by people who have been through a disaster. Any ideas would be much appreciated!Question #9:Writers: do you ever stop fluctuating between complete egotism and complete self-hatred about your work?I am an undergraduate majoring in poetry composition, and as a result, producing work and receiving feedback constantly. Some days, I feel equal to Shakespeare. Others, I feel like I'm not good enough to write at all. These emotions rarely even have any environmental triggers. It's just that some days, the positive reviews I receive seem more important than the negative. Other days, vice versa. Very much so. It's a lousy, bipolar feeling. Does it ever level out to something more reasonable?Question #10:Gifts for a very special woman (and friend)?I've already asked this (sort of) but I'd like to hear some more advice from others before I decide on what to do...I met a girl a few months back while traveling... We've kept in contact since then, and I fell in love with her through our correspondence. I got her flowers for her birthday, but I really haven't told her how I feel. I currently have a vacation planned out so I can see her again, and we've coordinated a road trip... I really want to give her something so she can see how I feel about her. I'm thinking of writing some poetry for her, and probably a card for her and her friend we'll be traveling with... Any suggestions for a type of poetry? I'm trying not to be childish or corny with it... :) I'll also give them flowers... Any suggestions as to type? I know red roses mean love, but I don’t know if I should give those to her yet without making her feel uncomfortable. I’ll also give her friend flowers, but I haven’t decided what type yet. Anything else I should consider? I'm not worried about costs. Thank you to all who have helped me so far... I'm excited to hear more suggestions! Question #11:Please read the poem (all criticism welcome)?So recently I've been getting into poetry and have started to do a little writing (only for myself) and I just wanted to get some opinions on my most recent poem. So here it is:To my fellow men, If you would like to truly please your woman physically, it is a necessity that you primarily please her mentally. You must 1st dive deep into her thoughts to stimulate every single part of her body all while giving her the best orgasm possible, a mental one. You need to make love, to her mind. And as you sit and talk and stroke her thoughts to connect on a whole nother level. One that cannot be reached with physical contact but with intimacy that can only be achieved when you know more about her, than yourself. You need to make love, to her mind. So when I see half naked women dancing at strip clubs and in music videos, I wonder. I wonder why no man has taken the time to study something other than the curves of her breast, hips, and thighs So once again I sit there confused wonderin' why a man has not taken the time, To make love, to her mind And as for us men, we have GOT to do better. We need stop lookin' at women as objects, but as people. People with ideas and thoughts and feelings, and most importantly, a heart. We need to make love, to their minds So if you take anything from what has just been said please remember this one thing: In order to make love to the body of the woman, you must 1st make love to the mind, of the human. To make love, to her mind. Question #12:Is this a type of poetry and if not, what type of writing is it?When typing out your feelings, you separate each start each sentence as a new line. Nothing rhymes, there's no uniform style. It's usually about 3 or 4 lines per paragraph, and about 6 or 7 paragraphs. Example:I knew something was wrong today. My own logic says notions like this are impossible. So I push through, thinking I have the strength. Now here I am. Alive and broken. Surviving and dying. Conquering and quitting. Thriving, but dying. A two week old baby was at my choir practice tonight. I was sure when I saw it from a distance it was a fake baby. Just like Gracie's. Too small to be alive. It was a perfect newborn. Flawless and wrinkled. It's spirit screamed at me. . . . . There's more but that's just the jist of it. Any thoughts/ideas/answers? Thank you. Question #13:write me a quick poem !?!?!?I am a terribble poet. I have to write a poem about how my perspective changed on basketball. in 5th grade i hated it, then i joined the team and it has been my favorite sport ever since. It doesnt have to rhyme, at least 4 "stanzas" 4-5 sentences each. an example we used in class is: Click Here10 POINTSS && I WILL B FOREVER GRATEFULL ! Question #14:Libra's i need your help.........................?ok so why would you give your crush a beautifully written poem, especially if she tells you she ain't into poetry?? Just need some insight on this Libra guy, thanxI'm a Scorpio yes he wrote it to me Question #15:A poem, let me know what you think?What is the matter with M?M was coming along seemed to be finding his muse. Then a rat got his tail and his talent travailed and he wrote things just to confuse What went wrong? The story requires some history, it's a baffling case I might add. He complained of thin skin, got a dose of Ian and his style went from okay to bad. Behind it is a mystery. The curious story of M a novice to poetry's art shows his heart, then he sickens, though his pulse barely quickens at the start of some melodramatic love poem. What is the matter with theory if it answers a question correctly? In a poem it's worse than some shoddy old verse; doubt interjecting, It makes open hearts feel leery. So what can we do for the issue? A man's got to write his own way and a stumble in the dark is a walk in the park if it finally leads to the day There is hope. (Can someone hand me a tissue?) Feud Geoffrey? Hardly. I consider the him a friend. I can be concerned for a friend and happy at the same time. I'm a multi-tasker. When I excise myself from my own poems it isn't the poem that suffers it is the READER. Baby Blue, as the master of dreck I am not saying anybody has no right to write garbage, but I am puzzling what happened to the person who was going in the other direction. Who cares about the poems, I am questioning the poet. Question #16:Help!?!?!?!?! 10 POINTS AWARDED!

Two weeks turns into 2 months and then slowly it turns into a year then a year and a half. See its not that I don't enjoy living with them but we live in a two bedroom one bath trailer with 8 people and 2 dogs. Sometimes life gets way to out of hand. Anyways, my parents hardly spent any time with any of us kids over the past year and half since we lived with her. All the money either went to fast food every night, pot, or stupid petty crap to entertain themselves with. None of the money was meant to buy anything that the family NEEDED. And then my mother gets her inheritance and she spends all of that with the quickness. A good hunk of change spent on two new cars and petty crap. You know with 8 people living there they should have bought a house but they didn't. And then my step mom gets off paper and starts her old Business again. Things she got in trouble with the law for in the first place. I can't say exactly what. But when this happens I get informed of new rules we have to live by.1. No going into the parents room even when they are there. 2. Don't speak to anyone about Business. 3. Keep an eye out for 5-0 Ok all of this is simple enough. So it goes well for about a week and then I feel like I'm getting pushed away from my mother and there is nothing I can do about it. Every time I come around I feel very unwelcome because Im the youngest adult in the house and my mom doesn't trust me at all. My step-mom trust me with everything she stands for but my own blood mother doesn't. What the hell? Im tired of sitting in my room night after night alone with nothing to do but write poetry and play video games. I want to hang out with my mom again. I want to sit in her room while she plays guitar hero. Someone please help me understand. Oh yeah I forgot the part where my mother has the audacity to tell me never to pick anyone over her again and then she is sitting there suffocating my step mom with more money, riches, and love, then any of her three kids could ever even know existed. She tells me not to pick anyone over her but then she turns around and picks her wife over her own kids? Did I miss something? Question #20:I'm looking for a writing buddy, to share our writing back and forth, five advice, tip, ideas, ect...?I'm looking for a writing buddy, some who I can share my writing work with, and have you share yours with with me, to give advice to each other about the writing. Also for things such as tips, and sites that we've found, contests we've stumbled across, help with writer's block and ideas, basically anything and everything about writing! -^^- I'm playing around with some novel ideas currently, but I also occasionally write poetry, or short stories.It'd be awesome if you were beginning a novel as well, but as long as you write, I'm happy. I'm 15, so I'd like someone around the same age as me, it make the most sense. Please email me at nwolanski@live.com, or give me a way to contact you if you answer this question, thank-you! <33 If several people want to do this, it'd be even better in a little group! I just want to have a more personalized relationship, (I know it sounds creepy, lol, i don't mean it to be!) aka: email each other more frequently then the huge online writing site members message each other, and have a broader range to talk about, like tips and contests, ect.. :] ** Powered by Yahoo Answers Click link above for correct copyright license. |
