  Spiderlings
  by NadiaTurner

  This is the cover of a book that I illustrated for Brolly Books. It was released in may, but I’ve been a bit slack in promoting it! Basically it’s all about baby spiders and their families.

• Last Night ...
  by Arletta

  “Ill have no Jim Carrey children.” I told her.

  A little story of July 8th, 2009, as close to true as I could get it, my memory being what it is. This will probably be part of a larger story, that will be a novel some day, if I can help it and God is willing. And, for the Feminine Intent people: This is how I’m feeling, at the end of it. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Featured in Feminine Intent (the group) about 9 hours ago, as of 9:48 pm, Arizona time, on 7-10-2009; as witnessed by the comment with notice of same.

  Based on a re-occuring nightmare I had as a child, this is the start of my battle with psychosis. The man in the story is the man I had hallucinations of and heard “his” voice. Ever since I was 6 years old, I’ve been struggling to keep touch with realtity, and this is the nightmare that started it all. The first in a series I plan on writing and turning into screenplays. None of this has been exaggerated or made up. These nightmares that started my war with reality are exactaly how they happened.

• Three Days Ago I knew
  by LizVengeance

  “Elizabeth….wake up….it-..it’s time.

  I’ve needed to write this for a long time. It has taken me months to finish it. I started crying so bad I couldn’t finish at the end of every paragraph. I have finally finished it though. Let me know what you think. This is a day I will never forget, and what took place will haunt me as long as live, but all I can do is remember, and use this to make me stronger emotionally.

• Champion's League

  Mahmoud went to bed when he was four. It was two years since he had been out of bed. When I crouched by his bed with my arms folded on t…

  This is my first attempt at being brave enough to share my writing. I wrote this quite a few years ago when i was incensed by the dehumanisation of people belonging to certain religions that seemed to justify our government dropping bombs on and/or locking up their children. if it seems a bit dry, its because I had planned to send it to a newspaper or something at the time but never found the right sort of opportunity. this is not the style of my fortcoming book, but the themes are fairly similar, ie resilience and fragility

  I just received news that my submission to the Farewell 43 Project was accepted! Now, all I can hope for is that it will not only be published on the web, but in the book itself! I posted my 200-word message on Red Bubble, which you can see by clicking here. You can also see it online here. And, also on my blog here. (I believe in the power of three!) It took me a long time to write it and say what I needed to say. My fingers are still weak and my arms are still shaking because of how angry I was when I typed it. It was great therapy! I think this is a wonderful project and that everyone should participate! It does not matter whether you love him or hate him or are American or not…there is a place for everyone to leave a message! Check out my brief tutorial here, for more information. They are also accepting image submissions as well!

  People sit near me and I feel this stuff emitted like some kind of force-field, that disturbs my sketching abilities. Not nerves or attraction just ?! to me. And that means, I’m slightly disliking the interaction because of the interference. / Some people do this naturally. But they’ve harnessed it in a TM package. It’s not pheromones exactly, rather a particle wave thing, that too measured to be natural. Sometimes there is a huge joke on it. / Performers use it and I think, get your dic away from me or tell me which page your on. Are you being a bull vehicle? Or a quarrie coat? Or shooting the coal lines? Ah it’s a web-stir isn’t it?

• Non-fiction Romance.
  by NuckleHeadSteph

  I want to be the you-know-who / You talk about to your friends, / That you talk about to me.

  So right now, I’m just praying that the subject of this piece didn’t start up a RB account. I’m pretty sure he said he wasn’t a fan, which was sad, but also great because it lets me get this off my heart, onto type and hopefully release a lot of those feelings I just REALLY need to keep inside. / But yeah, the description. It’s a love poem (SORRY GUYS) I have my girly moments.
