Camy Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 I didn't know you wrote prose. My bad. Excellent, really excellent. Link to comment
Codey Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 He's written a lot of prose and in fact wrote his first novel as a young teen like 13 or 14. Here's a link to his site. http://www.lonelyocean.co.uk/ Codey Link to comment
Guest rusticmonk86 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 heh heh . . . yeah. that's me. and . . . I started it when I was 11. finished it when I was 12. it's called "With Scott" and you can find it deep in the depths of nifty. FYI: i'm 20 now. i completely relinked all of the poetry on my website, btw. so you can read my poetry from 12 on. so, since I'm here, I guess I should comment on this story. I wanted to explore having brothers. And I also wanted to use a more conversational style of narration. Umm . . . This whole thing used to be, like, 15 paragraphs. But it was spread out more evenly by Tragic Rabbit, only after Graeme gave it a once over. Thanks to both of you. I dunno, I wanted to call it something like, "here's the fucking happy ending you wanted". Only because I was frustrated with myself (not having written anything story-wise for a while). But . . . eh. The working title was "blood-thirsty heart swells 'plete". But I heard that made people think different things about the story. Conventional functionaries. Thanks for your comments. --gabe Link to comment
blue Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Wow, Gabe, good short story. The comment you just wrote, :snicker: just adds to it. You make it clear that they're slowly getting past the crud that has been in their lives, even though it's taking a long, long time to do it...and they still have things to overcome. It may be a happy ending, but it's a more realistic one. And...if family by blood or marriage isn't good, then there is family by choice, the friends we take into family. -- Whether "family" is blood, marriage, blood brothers, friends who've become family (even if we, mistakenly, don't call 'em that), or that spouse or partner... there's something worth it there.
