An Authoress' Alcove

Post by Mockingbird »

I'm here to put my writing skills at your service. I write poems and prose; I don't write school reports or anything like that. ;)

So, if you have some ideas in your head and you want some help getting them drafted, or you want some critiques, I'd be happy to help. Just post your request here and I'll shoot you a PM. We can work out the price based on the length of the piece, etc.

Samples of my work? Here you are! :)
Murphy's Law wrote:Someone once said how she was simply her characters’ secretary; the characters took off by themselves. It was a common joke among my fellow authors to laugh (and gripe) how their characters had “minds of their own”. I often talked about my characters as if they were real people myself- well, around people who weren’t immediately inclined to throw me into an insane asylum. There’s nothing like fitting in, eh?
A Slave's Song wrote:She ran her tongue over her teeth. Her mouth felt strangely clean. “What is that stuff?”

Kachel gauged Dani’s eyes. “Our people live up in the Rhigi Mountains. We’re surrounded by rocks and gems.”

“Rocks? That’s impossible.” Her eyes flitted to the iridescent pearly liquid.

“This is a mixture of pure water and extract of opal.” Kachel shrugged. “It’s the truth.”

Dani glanced away and pulled herself off the ground. Mud stained her bare feet and ankles orange. “Where do we go now?”
Shattering the Dark wrote:All hope had left, and the remains of his attitude rubbed his pride raw. He fought desperately, struggling against the little it took to hold him down, against the darkness that swept his vision over and over. He was breaking, but he could still think, could still feel the agony of failure. Two men pinned him to the ground as a smile twisted over the handsome features of a third. Jayson's breathing accelerated in gasps as he awaited the final blow. A surprise kick to his ribs tore a yell of pain from him, the half-scream echoing in his ears.

"Broken. It was so easy, wasn't it, Jase? So easy to break you. You did half of it yourself." Pirzak smiled on his agonized enemy. "Now..." he raised Jayson's own gleaming weapon.

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do." --To Kill a Mockingbird

Thanks, Buzz! :D I'm hoping to go into writing full time (with maybe a 'side job' ;)) after high school. \:D/

Thanks. :) It's my best photomanipulation to date. :D

I'm thinking about putting my AIO fanfic in this thread if there is enough interest...
