I just started a creative writing class, and it's fueling me like nobody's business. Just 4-weeks long, 2-hours every Monday night. It. Is. So. Fun.
Tonight's earlier post, a hastily written short story, came from that. A writing partner gave us a character - their character - and we had to write a quick short story about that character. We had just 25 minutes.
My writing group partner, Richard, described his character: a man in his 20's having experienced his first failure. Broke, down and out on his luck, surrounded by take-out containers. Now, that he had failed, he was open to possibilities. Open and ready to pick himself up, and start making money by any means.
Steve was born. I don't know if it's any good or not. Not horrible for a quickie exercise, I suppose.
But there are some things I like about it or at least had great fun with. I like his apartment full of desperation and depression. I love that the "world wide web" is accessed from his isolated and depressed apartment, and ultimately, the "world wide web" will isolate and depress him more. I like that his entrepreneurial risk that he took with his start-up, is now playing out with online poker. He likes quick wins; making quick money drives him. He is impatient. He loves the addiction and the adrenaline of it all - for better for worse. I like how The Golden Ticket somewhat evokes Willy Wonka. I love the line about $$ and the XX's on porn sites.
Thank you.

Matchmaking dating is best thing I met on the web. It requires no effort from your side but works better than you can do yourself. To get great matches, you just need to find a reputable dating service and be persistent. Choose your best matches, text each other or talk in videochat, send winks, gifts, and even meet in person when you want it. slavic women
