Getting the Groove Back - Writing Exercises
- Reads 13
- Votes 0
- Parts 3
I treated myself to a bundle of online writing courses, and would love some feedback on the exercises, if anyone would be so kind. I am assuming, so far, that most of the exercises will be short and likely not be very connected, but I hope I manage to entertain enough that it's not a jarring read. From here, I hope to progress to writing some flash fiction, then eventually longer works.
Apologies for the moronic cover. I wasn't sure what to put that wasn't likely copyrighted. It's a photo of some hilariously ugly cookies I made for my last Halloween party.

The Sign of Raphael (Rough Draft Novella)
If you read one thing from me in your whole life, please don't let it be this. This was a rough draft for a class, and my first written work of such a magnitude (other than perhaps some interactive fiction, which was better). I tried to handle it as a short story, and honestly it fails in that criteria. I've added chapters and some revisions to make it less odious. There is improvement throughout the novella, though there are also really obvious errors I haven't bothered to correct and wouldn't make nowadays. Supernatural-twinged cyberpunk action-adventure novella with a mystical-religious overtone. Dates back to February 2013. This is from a while back, and I was more into writing action than writing deeper more philosophical stuff. Not that it didn't try. Had to write it for a class, but I really did enjoy doing it at the time. Although it aimed to just be urban fantasy, the successor was set in one of my overarching settings I worked on for years. The instructor told me at the end of class that "You will make a great teacher, you give excellent feedback." Just be forewarned: this novella is a rough draft for a final draft damned by faint praise.Complete
Scarian one shots >:3
Just some scarian stuff I don't ship the real life people just the characters I have dyslexia so sorry for the spelling and punctuation and typos and all the other stuff :( I will write fluff and angst but I'm aroace so no smut as I feel uncomfortable writing it. I put trigger warnings at the start of chapters. I will also be writing a small amount of flower husbands/ flower ranchers possibly but most of this is going to be scarian :3 If I write anything that is against someone's boundaries then please inform me as I did not do it on purpose I promise. This counts for you the reader as well! If I forget to put a TW then please tell me :) Cover art is by samgatinho Its mature because of topics of SH and other heavy topicsComplete

I had finally moved to brighton and I was thrilled , the sad truth was.. I was still in high school so my parents had already enrolled me in a school. Today was my first day and I was in first period when I accidentally left my pens and pencils at home.
