[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Shyguy [/i] [B][size=1]This [i]is[/i] an editorial Mitch. I chose to leave a lot of details out because we have a front page news story about Meningitis, my editorial is in response to that. It is kind of unfiar to not let you read the article, but I don't have a copy.. and it's really, really long. Generally opinions articles should not have quotes. I write an editorial to state [b]my[/b] opinion, not someone else's. If this were a new story it would be a really poor one, news articles should be written objectively. I'll try to search for a copy of the article for you.... -Shy[/size] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=red] Ah, as I thought. Disregard all of what I said pretty much, then. Then for an editorial I will have to say--be opinionated. It isn't opinionated enough. If you really, really, really, really do feel something for this story, I know I would've felt it. Opinion papers have to be strong then. You really didn't say any opinions in this paper. You didn't go out and into this topic. At least that's how I see it. I jus think it could be stronger, Shy. But it [i]is[/i] good. Just...if it is an opinion/ an editorial, then where is [i]your[/i] opinion in it? I know and I can see some of it, but you need to make this thing damned strong if you want it to be good. Ack, ah well. What do I know. Heh, you've been in Journalism much longer. Ah well. I tried.[/color]

[color=red] Some of it is spotty. I can tell this is really rough draft here. [/color] [quote][size=1] don?t expect the school to tell me when the person who sits next to me in English catches a cold, but would they smile politely and pretend that nothing had happened if I contracted the ebola? [/quote] [quote]Suddenly people became afraid of something that they knew absolutely nothing about. But this seems to be common today; we live in a society where the media enforces new brands of paranoia every day. Something completely new and even more terrifying than the day before is always there to make Americans worry during the nightly news. One day killer sharks are attacking innocent swimmers, the next day Michael Jackson is endangering the lives of his children, the day after that Michael Jackson hires Voodoo priests to make killer sharks attack innocent swimmers. Because of this sensationalistic news, people become paranoid, and duct tape sales go up.[/quote][/size] [color=red] Those few lines that I quoted there need some work. The contraction 'but' doesn't seem right. I don't know how to explain it, but that needs some revising there. It just doesn't flow as well as the overall other contexts and texts do. The second one, the long paragraph. I brought it up because here I sort of zoned off and lost interest. It just doesn't seem focused on what you are trying to say. But I do like the duct tape thing, I found that interesting. Overally, this is good. But really, I am kind of left wondering [i]what[/i] meningitis is. You need to get some facts in there. Also, you didn't explain too well what exactly [i]happened[/i]. I know that a student caught it and so on. But I want the details. This then leads me to wonder why you didn't get an interview with the student. It would've made it entirely better. Because with a person you can tell a story. With a person you actually get more. I suppose you're tight for time or you couldn't get the student for an interview. But as my Journalism teaches says--you have to be a marine when you're a journalist. You have to find a way. Such as you could've interviewed the principal and so on. Or maybe I am utterly mistaken and this is just an editorial, opinion article. I'm sure that's the case. It is good, but I can see a lot of work that can be done to it. Mainly more details. It's so vague. But good job.[/color]

[color=red][size=1] Here's three poems. I only like one, "Cruxes On The Cross." The other one "Maniac's Mind," is an old one I really didn't feel like posting.

Shrugged shoulders, eating gaze. He can tell. Or can he? "...I can tell." Laid-back look, cynical outlook. He can tell. Or can he? I turn to look, and he is gone. But where's he gone? and is he gone? "...I know you, I know..." Does he? Does not he? "...I can tell." Same fleeting glazed-over look, shrugged shoulders placed in hook. "...No you can't, no you..." I turn again, gone like wind. "...It was you, it was..." Is it a ghost? Is it my own imagination most? The memory haunts. "I didn't do it, I didn't..." But did I? "It was you, I can tell..." The memory haunts, it's all in my mind. I made choices, they were wrong at the time. "...We all make mistakes, don't we, don't..." Don't we? Don't we all? This was only my luck of the draw. "...We all make mistakes, fix them, fix..." Do we fix them? Do we? Or, or? "But it's already gone and done, I can't..." Aren't some mistakes unfixable? "...But you can fix them..." But, but how? How? "...But we can fix them..." But how? How? "...We fix them on our own..." Our own? We fix them on our own? But, it's been so long since that night... so long. "...You know you killed her...stabbed her..." But it's all in the past! I didn't mean to... I didn't! I really didn't... "...Yes you did..." So what if I did? It's all in the past... It's all in the past! I open my eyes, the voice is there. I close them, and he's there... That voice...that person. He's always there... Even now. Even now... "Go away...go away..." "...I can't..." Why not? Why not! "...Because...you must fix, you must..." My hands are stained, Tainted in dark red hues. I must find a way? I must remove. "...you will find a way..." It's been years, Years locked in metal here. My hands, they ache. I've worked them off, but they are stained. The voice is tiring my time... I need to figure how to fix the wrong. I need, no, I must figure how to fix the wrong. I must. "...you must..." And I shall.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Heaven's Cloud [/i] [B][color=indigo]Again, I have to disagree with you. I think man has done many grand things. [/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=red] I agree. Man has done many great things. But good things are oft to be interred with bad. Nothing is as beautiful as mother nature. And we can only be as beautiful as we can. Yes, Ken, I also agree. We are the greatest species on the Earth. But we're not as great as we seem to think, trust me. I'm not talking an indivdual stance here--I'm saying humanity as a [i]whole[/i]. Don't intermix the two. I rest this.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][color=#808080] But for others, they might need to get all their homework out of the way before they can let go and be creative. It's all down to the individual. As a creative person, I'd have thought that you would understand that by default. ^_^[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=red] Exactly right. I as a writer, though, I want all of the experience I can get--so this is the way I handle it. I try to write everyday. But you are exactly right. As I said, my post came off much more harsh than I intended. I was just disappointed that only one other person than me submitted. It doesn't take that much out of a month to type up a 2,000 wordish story. Yes, I understand that everyone here is busy. But couldn't they at least give something? It's kind of rude to, as you said, "Leave me in the dark," it just kills the whole aspect and meaning of this thing--competition and improving on writing. Ah well. Hopefully everyone will post at least something next time. ^_^[/color]

[color=red] I did not mean to initiate irratational splay. Of course I try to do something about it. There are things you can do. In the end, it doesn't matter really though. Just realize that all Mankind has done since his appearance on the Earth is nothing grand. We aren't wonderful ourselves. We're ruining this planet, but none care. I just wanted you to at least [i]realize[/i] that the Earth is dying because of us. Just fathom that yes, you care about it in the distance, even though you can do nothing about it. Mankind as whole isn't as great as you are saying. Our achievments are meddled and muddled in distinctions you or I cannot disclaim. I was not using you as an emblem for what I believe, I was merely portraying a fact. I may be a hypocrite, but that doesn't mean I can't care.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Heaven's Cloud [/i] [B][color=indigo] Just kidding...to be honest, I really don't care whether or not the earth is here or not, I will be long dead and gone by then....[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=red][i]That[/i] is why the Earth is where it is now. People like you, Heavy. Oh well, I for one care. I don't know where in the world we'll be in a few hundred years. I'm not going to sit here and guess--anything is a complete possibility. Heck, we might even have developed warping techonology. We might have found a way to traverse in to worm holes. We might find out how to get into alternate divisions of space and time. That's as far as I know. Beam me up, Scotty.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][color=#808080]Don't be too harsh on people if they fail to participate. Juu is right; sometimes you don't have the time to write. You might have a mental block, or you might simply want to do something [i]other[/i] than writing with your spare time. It's understandable. I always feel that if I'm pressured or forced to write something for an RPG, I'm not really enjoying it...and thus, the writing isn't really what I want it to be. It's fair that people only want to write if they are feeling passionate or if they have ideas. Not everyone is spending all their free time writing, so I don't think it's too unreasonable for people to have other commitments. ~_^[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=red] Jamesy, I'm not being harsh. But if anyone here really wants to be a writer, you have to outdo yourself and go the extra yard. The blank page won't get anywhere unless you take your hand and paint the picture. I can understand that people live busy lives. But this thing to me is dead serious. These people here joined because they have [i]something[/i] with writing. They like it in one way or another. Thus, this is serious for me. If it is for them, they would've written something even if it was completely bad, heh. I didn't say they had to do some magic, awesome, witty tale. I'm just disappointed they didn't submit [i]something[/i]. I'm not meaning to be harsh, but this thing is dead serious to me. Writing is dead serious to me. It's everything I am and more.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Juuthena [/i] [B][color=ff00cc] [size=1]Yeah, but there's a difference between just 'writing' and 'typing'.

And just because you went on vacation is an excuse, but it doesn't work, heh. There's always time to write. Always. Heck, I write in my head all of the time. I go over what I feel like writing. Just write something, something, something. Something. Get it? I still find time to write. And you don't need a computer to write. Paper is better.[/color]

[color=red] [size=1] Well, I expect to finish and write probably another poem today, but I've got something to hold you over.

[color=red] Here I was thinking about the [i]band[/i] Chicago. Gah. Ah well. Off I go. Never want to see this movie even though it got good reviews. Not my thing. :Wanders off:[/color]

[color=red] It wasn't that good, I didn't think. I've seen far better. But then again, I liked deep, science fictiony type of movies that make you think. Ah well. It was only average in what I thought. It was just a movie showing that sometimes doing the right thing is the better thing even though the other route is so much easier. Not all that moving if you ask me.[/color]

[color=red] There is no reason for not getting [i]something[/i] written this round. Writers write, that is what they do. If you are actually [i]serious[/i] about writing, you would've gotten this thing done. There's no excuse. If I can find time, so can you. Writers write even though they rarely can get the time. Writers write even if they get blocked. Even if they can't get inspired. They write. So there is no excuse for not giving an entry, and nor is it fair to Harlequin and I who worked hard on ours. I spent about six hours alone on mine. I'm rather disappointed. If you're serious and you are or consider youself a writer you should, too. My vote goes to mine. I spent a long time working on it. As for Harlequin's, it was average. I did not see anything all too overally superb in it. But of course, he was rushed. Seeing that, it isn't too bad. But the way it was written was somewhat confusing in parts. Especially when he started using those question marks when whoever the hell was speaking. Stick to one format. Other than that, I'm glad he submitted [i]something[/i]. I right now consider RPW going nowhere. If no one posts, then it will stay that way. What do I have to say to scream into your ears to write something? I hope what I've said is enough, because I put a lot of work into this first foray into this thing. I think it's only fair that you all do, too. Just write, or I'll kill you. Sound good? Harly, seems you're the better writer or something. Ah well. I'll try even more next time, count on it.[/color]

But here's what I think: Smoking is a huge turn-off for me. My Mom smokes, and I find it utterly and totally gross. Plus there's second hand smoke which I absolutely hate. The smell of smoke and the overall appearance of a smoker is not too appealing nor appetizing to me. As for drinking--not necessarily. As long as they aren't some destitute, alchoholic wild thang, then it's fine. A few drinks now and then won't hurt anybody. As long as they don't take it too far. That's my take on it.[/color]

[color=red] Obviously it is either a mutated form of some strand of flu, it is something completely new, or they have yet to identify it. It's really hard to believe such a thing happening, but I know it is true. I just hope this flu or whatever it is doesn't become an outbreak. Because it seems it sure has the potential. Let's just hope it gets contained. I do not want to see something in line as to what the world wide outbreak of Smallpox was like.[/color]

[color=red] Very nice there. I love how small and tight it is and how readily seen it is. This is one of my favorites of yours for sure.[/color]

[color=red] This question is pointless. Who says God is even a physical entity? No one. This question is purely based on an opinion, and it won't lead anywhere other than where my thread ended off. So I'm going to close this since all it will end up doing is killing itself.[/color]
