I agree I'm reading a book called "Bitten" right now the story has me hooked I am inclined to overlook the errors. I painstakingly edited my book for errors and I'm positive there are still some. As long as its not so bad to derail its not even an issue.

Agreed...we are a weird dysfunctional family and we need to support each other!

Ok this is a short story I wrote in 1993 and just tweaked it a little to publish as a novella. Here are the first few paragraphs, let me know what you think...

I watch out my window as the rain pours down wondering where my life has gone. I'm not old but you can say I've certainly lived and I feel like it’s been wasted away to a little speck of dust I sweep away in the corner of my living room. Perhaps a bit melodramatic yes, but I can't help the thought from happening. I suppose I should reveal some history to keep you out of the the dark.

The whole story began when I graduated high school. I had high hopes and wide dreams, my life was at my starting point and all the other screw ups life let me slip under the rug up until this point were just a dress rehearsal. I wouldn't let anything hold me back, which seemed to work in my favor, for a while. I came to realize that no matter how hard you try to deny it or fight it your immature nature will always rear its ugly head when you least expect it. I blame that on a little thing called summer vacation.

I found myself circling the drain between adolescence and adulthood. I was more on a see saw and adulthood was a lightweight. I was at all the right parties with all the wrong people, in my mind I told myself that I was just practicing for College—it was the way to get into college's head, this is how I will conquer it.

Once I started college far away from home, family, all positive influence and security I dove deeper into the same old routine of sex, drugs and reggae. However, I had a perfect balance of extra and curricular activities. My freedom made me find a new religion it was called Independence which in Layman's terms translated to obsessive compulsive behavior.

Funny you say that I just finished The Scene last night. I have to say one thing about...get out of my head!! No, just kidding I just think you and I have similar writing styles, raw, vulgar and no holds barred. I loved it!! I'd like to write you a review where would you like me to put it?

I have my sequal in the works since last October probably but I've hit a major block. Later on today maybe I'll post an exerpt for feedback. I like your discussions.

Oh and I just now realized it was you and you already
know about here. Haha.

Richard I just read it and I loved it!!

Thank you Jan. Mine is www.ademonlovestory.wordpress.com do you have a blog?

Yes! I thought the same thing. At first on blogspot
I was overwhelmed with all the choices to decorate the blog spent more time doing that than blogging. I love the crisp minimalist look of wordpress and its very user friendly. Some great tips I now know I was headed in the right direction. Thank.you for your feedback!

I have a blog on wordpress currently. Had one on blogspot but I think too many blogs are hard to deal with.

Sounds like good advice. I'm nervouse about pictures though I don't know which ones I can just use and which are stealing. I have a lot to learn about the internet!

I have a question...how do you get people to look at your blog? I have had mine for a while it has very little traffic maybe it's because I don't have a niche.

Well since the pop up I don't know what I should talk about that was what I was going to talk about...ohhhh breaking the rules!
