Floating on the river (Song)

1. Is life aimless as it seems; all I have are poor boys dreams; look like water when it gleams, floating on the river. 2. I play on my mandolin; I’...

Stalker Love Story, Part Three: Down, but not broken

It had been almost a week since I last saw Arthur. It would be weird going back to him, like the anxious feeling when you miss a week of school...

Another Friday

Two o'clock I just watched it go My guts are raw My head's in turmoil And I know I won't sleep The drunks howl in the town Their cars race through...

Sadness pours from the page Pervading the empty echo of dreams Where hopes are exchanged between hobos Lost between hard lessons and promises...

Stalker Love Story, Part Two: Cardboard Heart

Sunday afternoons always moved a bit slower than the other days. It was the only day of the week when Arthur didn’t do much. He would sit, watch...

The Black Hole

Chapter 2, Part I

This is part 1 of the second chapter in Tom Booth's struggle to find happiness through tendencies of hedonism and what is expected of him from society. I had written Tom's second chapter however I think due to a break in writing I had progressed too quickly in what is meant to be a slow progression of his ideas and language. I am now writing a bridging chapter that consists of two parts (should these just be chapters in their own right?) so the jump in progression isn't too jarring and we get a bit more context. PLEASE give me constructive criticism as I haven't been in education for over eight years and really need the help; writing is merely a hobby so I really need your help to get better!

Chapter Three

This is the third chapter in my first person stream of consciousness work in progress focussing on the story of Tom Booth, a young guy who is simply trying to work out how to be happy. This was previously the second chapter however I felt that Tom's language and state progressed too quickly for the story and it needed a bridging chapter. I will be posting the second chapter soon. I have been out of education for a long time now and just write for myself, so if you could please give me some input I would really appreciate it.
