So I was talking to Emily about writing and I hadn't written for a while and figured I should. But then I didn't feel like writing a lot, so I wrote a little. Anyways, READ!
The following is a story starter written by me; I thought it might be interesting if we all took a shot at continuing the story(I will even if you guys wont); I dont care how good it is I just want to know where an individuals mind is able to move to from the same starting point. Feel free to change the starter-story if you like, but dont you-know, replace it and work from scratch because that kind of defeats the purpose.
Here is the start:

The Original:
I stand in a palace with columns of blood red
And bases of shiny gold
Endless stone walk ways surrounded by
Red wood rails
A dark green lawn lay before me
Tall, proud Japanese maples stand at attendance
At the center
A gentle wind caresses my face and tickles
The branches of the trees
On the roof long, curved tiles line it like lizard scales
At the top curving forms of dragons stand
As if trapped in time by their gold cases
I take slow tentative steps into the lawn
Splash!
I look left and see in the corner

Original Lonely Princess:
In the depths of the forest,
In the midst of the mountains,
Lives a princess, guarded and lonely
On a tall tower awaiting her prince
To come rescue her from her solitary
Time passes; months, years and decades
And her prince still has not arrived
She counts every minute of the days
Until her prince sweeps her off her feet
With his very noble steed
The poor princess becomes restless
And the walls become increasingly higher
She
Entering a room of solid night
Inching my way through scared delight.
And creeping ever closer to the far off light.
I can't bring myself to look away.
Keeping the noise as quiet as whispered
Secrets who gently flit in silence.
On and away through the deadly cold.
The blade of motion quickly forward.
The room is dark, and highlighted gently.
With flickering red now, the exit sign glowing.
My movement, unnoticed in the reflection of ovens and stainless steel.
My heart screams periodically.
The gnashing of teeth and gruesome noises of the nearby fiends.
The sound follows me, cripples me so I move as if a child, sneaking in the nigh
Bend and kiss her on the cheek
Kneel and sit beside her
Lay a while, head in her lap
Thinking always about her
Living lonely can't be thought to be the best for anyone
Love in itself may never be taught, but should be learned by everyone
In the arts it can be seen, a melody of certainty
The one thing of which all artists paint and write and sing
A shift from introspection, to outward emotion is possible
Unedniable in its many forms, it carries us and cares for us
Sleep away the sleepless nights
Be calm and bask in light of her
Be exuberant, loud and deep
Lifter her up and carry her
Gliding, gently fall, mellow into substance.
Billow the orchids in spring-mist wind.
Tollerance beside temperance, beside tempered and fired.
Kiss of a loved one; hug from a sister.
Soundless assumptionless wind on your face.
Creation and evolution, entwined in a fervor of realization and appreciation of shared ideals.
Loving the line 'I am the wallrus.'
Sifting through others' thoughts and holding them close.
Acceptance, not exceptance, in abundance applies to all the children of grade school and higher. In action and thought upheld the ideals of wounds healed and revealed and succored and savoured as pieces of puzzles all bringing t
There are times to be sad.
Of that I can be certain.
Times when life is calm, drowzy and dripping.
Of lounging in langour, I cannot abide.
Of sorrow, in sorrow, in writing I hide.
The cripple, will see you, he'll call to you.
To tell you, in thoughts simple, the truth.
Quiet and homely, he'll explain life in small bites.
Because everyone, anywhere can write about knives.
There is not a single, being who living, can tell you truthly the've never been hurting.
And collectively we scream, to the souless void, the abandon and bliss of the masses who hide.
Behind screen names, and scarred lame they'll comfort and compliment, all the sil
I should be paid by Privateer Press to make this post. Latley I have become obsessed with Warmachine and I figured I'd share a little about my new hobby. As many of my firends can attest: I am nerdy, I know, but being nerdy is fun.
Warmachine is a game played with models and dice. On the nerd scale it ranks like this, from most nerdy to least:
LARPing>D&D>WoW>Warhammer>Warmachine>Axis and Allies>Risk>Monopoly>Video Games>Foosball/Pool/Air Hockey>Outside(Where is that anyways? Can I roll dice there?)
The models are made of metal and come unassembled. You put them together, paint them and then play on table-tops modelled to look like terrain
Ok, this is one of my better poems for a few reasons. 1) It actually follows a format (Iambic pentameter, rhyming couplets), 2) it tells a story, 3) I think it sounds good.
Enjoy:
Philanthropy
Altruistic; flies flee, flies from ground filld
Of Green growth spurt from wounded earth new tilld
Debris removed, children soothd through tale
Of Windy, mist, foam, surf, heroes set sail.
Gutters emptied, plants treated and healed
Animals fed from gentle hands, kneeled
Upon dirt where seeds planted will rise up
Into morning and into skies, cupped
Hands bring the moisture to leaf and to root
Reach into chimneys removing bla

So, I'm in Cali for a while and I've just been wandering appreciating the scenery, both beach and inhabitants thereof, and I've decided it is time I take the old camera out for a spin. Expect some shots of the scenery in the near future (beach only I assume).
Hey Everyone, my names Danny and I've been a long time creeper on DA and figured it was time to post some of my own work. Though I appreciate photography and art of all kinds, I find myself lacking in the skill department of the disciplines. I do however excell in writing and I will be posting everything from short stories, to poetry, to snipets from the Novel I am working on here. I will be asking for and offering advice on a regular basis, and no comments will go unread. Hope you'll all enjoy my page, and I'll try to get up one of the short stories I am working on in the near future, as well as some of my older work.
