| Has been struck by the ban stick | If I Only Could! WRITE! As it lifted off the water, thousand beads of water rolled off it's white satin neck and as it rose higher into the air on silent wings, the morning rays of sun filtered through the evergreen trees causing the drops of water to look like thousands of diamonds tumbling back to the water in a kaleidoscope of colors. Just a moment in time and then it was gone. Wrote this in high school for English as a desriptive paragraph. Voted the best in English glass in the entire high school. It was a swan I saw rising from a marsh one early morning while out exploring and I was a freshman in high school.  |

| Tuxedo Urchin  | Your mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought, cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives. no, wait, your mind is a-glow with whirling transient nodes of thought, careening through a cosmic vapor of invention. yeah, that's better. gina, it isn't necessarily how you write. One must have the ideas and stories too. Floral prose is wasted if there's nothing holding it up. (not saying Johnny's writing isn't good just stating that it is hard as hell to write a book, let alone a book that someone other than friends and family will read). Gina, the molten yellow ball of fire slowly melted into the horizon. Rivulets of red and magenta reflected off the water's surface and all at once I was at peace. Easy to sound good, hard to have substance. Take it from a failed writer.

| Tuxedo Urchin | Johnny, I didn't intend to derail or knock the writing. I love when I come across old things that make me think. Yours was real good.
