There’s always pressure, from other people and yourself. We keep thinking up new things and finding better ways of doing things because we’re not happy with what we’re given.
I saw this line the other day and immediately thought how I and most likely many other people can relate to this. I’m…

Nate & Blair?
atlimbo:
Anyone out there who’s still a Nate/Blair (friendship/romance/whatever just be on my screen together) fan like myself? Considering doing one of those massive x/50 or x/100 memes that are going around, and I think they’re my favorite. Thoughts? Suggestions?

atlimbo:
CBS’s drama The Unit, about the lives of the highly trained members of a top-secret military division, was canceled last year, but a memo to its writing staff from its executive producer David Mamet has just surfaced online. (The source appears to be the online writing collective Ink Canada.) If you think you know where this is heading, you might be wrong:
Besides the fact that it’s...

– Why is permanence so comforting? We know things are eventually going to change, and then change again after that. Everything changes and with it we as a people grow and evolve. If things were permanently fixated, I wouldn’t go though the triumphs, tragedies and discoveries that I have. Permanence...

I’ve seem to be hitting writer’s block far too often now. My grade in my creative writing class is suffering because i don’t turn in anything because i’m never really satisfied with anything i do. all my good ideas seem to turn into bad ones once i write it down. How do you get pass writers block?

Scene for Suggestions
Piece from the Novel | Life Support Title | Goodbye Once More Word Count | 935 Summary | How do you say goodbye to someone who can’t say it back? He lay there, quiet and still. Were it not for the hospital bed that surrounded his now tiny form, I would have thought he was sleeping. He was always very quiet, always still, with his lips slightly pursed in thought and his eyes closed. He...
