i tend to write alot, and i use alot of wierd anologies and such i'm gonna share one i wrote lastnight with you guys and i would like honast opinions. Tell me what you think what you hated, and what you took away from it please. sailing dreams sit here spinning wheels these wheels grinding bones into memories that are buried at sea its all you have when sailing dreams they don't ask for forgiveness or pity for dead men tell no tails in the vian of all thats lost you fight to break the storm horizon are the clouds darker in your mind did they bring lightning this time whats the price of sailing dreams some get caught in the siryns song her voice as angelic as her eyes both made for goodbyes still some sail on chasing the dawn hoping it'll change thier life forever the price of sailing dreams in the fathoms they search for the water logged gospel on giving up drowning rats abandon ship the ocean she awaits she is beauty and she is a cruel mistress this ship made of stolen dreams is going belly up the sea is sweet and sexy like codien she'll take you in the end sleep well with her salt in your black eyes don't you know a good thing when it leaves you oh yes her kiss is so wet and she has claimed an untold many while she was angered under a full moon this mast of skulls is going down like a cheap hooker trying to make ends meet it makes perfect sense when sailing dreams if you know love is the titanic and everyday life is the fuckin iceburg how did you not see this coming yo ho ho and a bottle of rum empty at the wheel the angry fish will smile while the feast on your flesh davey jones is a bastard even without an octopus for a head but he has open arms and he loves the feast of sailing dreams everything will surely go dark so you can sleep for eternity who said your dreams arn't for sale your dreams where roughly the value of you setting sail death disassembles life one broken shard at a time when your sailing dreams
First thought was spellcheck, second WOO PIRATES!!!, third the mood seemed to jump around, I don't know if that's just how I read it or not, I liked it but it could be worked better. I'm not that good a writer myself so you're better off getting more advice but seriously, woo pirates!
Just because you can use metaphor doesn't mean you should. It was so esoteric I couldn't decipher what it was about, theres little coherent style to your prose, and your analogies are as meaningful as a gorilla in a snowstorm. "if you know love is the titanic and everyday life is the fuckin iceburg" Just get rid of that whole verse. Keep writing.
yeah i hate spellcheck but SERIOUSLY need to use it, pretty much like ALWAYS. I get the jump around feel to, it sorta about pirates but more the mood an attitude the sea is a beautiful thing, it's many things calm and beautiful, angry and dangerous...kinda like a relationship which is the vague premises of the writting.
i like the iceburg line, but it does kinda stand out like it doesn't belong. I don't like to go back and change things i leave them as they are when i wrote it, however i do apperciate ALL of your opinions. Seriously tho people like to goof off on here there are several seriously smart people here.
hahahaha that made me laugh, do i get a gold star. My problem is a write or type as i'm thinking and don't worry about spelling. it's a flaw i'm aware of, but somehow i can't bring myself to care all that much. Could be worse i could be typing in txt speak i was like LOL WTF and OMG....
i can give you my honest opinion, but i'm not too sure if i know you well enough to give you my honast
i use txt speak when i'm texting for obvious reasons but when I'm writing anything, I have t spell it right capitalization is optional
