Here's the thing, you better start posting something or stuff will begin to happen to you, like certain body parts will fall off, or a plague of toads will tear your house apart, or maybe a severed head will just show up next to you in the morning.

very well done. but i dont think you need the last line.
taken from Silence is Golden.. thanks for your comment.. but i thought the last line would have some form of emphasis to the secret.. i guess you didn't think otherwise.. would you really think that it's a big secret if i hadn't put in the last line??

I do like your ablity to imply so much. good job.
taken from The Game.. thanks!! oh and i am thinking of doing an extension on that piece - like try to make it a little longer.. have you any idea on writing comedies??

plus adverbs suck anyway.
taken from Misplaced.. hahahaha, it took me awhile to understand the meaning of adverbs.. oh dear.. but yes, i will remember that adverbs suck, and try as best not to include them in my future pieces.. thanks for the comments..


great to see you around.. how have you been.. ???

I am doing quite well thank you. How have you been?

Okay, as for your question on "Silence is Golden:" I stick by my comment that you do not need the last line. The reader will still know that it's a big secret because the main character is thinking about it. She is only going to think about it if it impacts her life. The reader knows this. the reader also knows that if you, as the writer, are taking time to write it in, then it's important becasue you don't have much space or time to work with.

The real reason that you should take out the last line is not that its unnessary, which it is, but because it's unrealistic. Real people don't think of their own secrets as being " dark." That is you as the writer trying to interject more meaning that depth to make it sound cool, where you really can't. it just doesnt fit.

I hope that helps you. Once again, it is great to hear from you. I havent had a chance to talk to you in a while. It's good to see that you are alive and stuff.

Well I will see you around as well. Take care.

-Josh.
