12th January

Now playing: Vanessa Carlton - Heroes and Thieves

I'm blinded by these Heroes and Thieves at my door, and I can't seem to tell them apart anymore. Just when I figured it out; darling it's you I'm without. Well I'm stubborn and wrong, but at least I know it. I keep movin' along, and hope I can get through this

So, it's time for some writing. I haven't really done much recently, and tonight when I stumbled across a website full of six-word-long stories I decided to have a go at some for myself. they're great fun, and a decent way to just write whatever comes to mind, making it fit the six word framework.

Here are some of the ones I wrote tonight, for better or worse, posted live:

1. When she awoke, she saw him.

2. Don’t you know I miss you?

3. I don’t know you any more.

4. This is the best of me.

5. I can’t find you. Reach out?

6. I need you to need me.

7. A flicker of light behind you.

8. Give me time. I need it.

9. I think I lost something. Help?

10. Do you know I hate you?

11. A shot in the dark. Bang.

12. Pianos and prostitues line the streets.

You should try some yourself. It would make me happy if my blog comments were full of six-word stories? Anybody?

You know you want to.
:O

xoxox

... I'm without your comforting logic like, these days are the ones I'll miss, and I seek a solitude that I can't find without you

Oh, I like the six-word-long stories. Very good and reminds me of writing Haiku. Here’s a few I can give you back:

1. What will I think while falling?
2. Just one comment now we’re here.
3. The distance will not stop me.
4. Sad songs make me want you.
5. Running, pursued through knee deep snow.
6. Should I pull the trigger now?
7. What if the camera saw me?
8. A lifetime leading to this moment.
9. Can’t wait until I touch you.

Those are nice. I love writing these, but I also love reading what other people write, because it can be really telling. It's more challenging than people think to come up with some coherent, and to come up with something that forms a particular image in the mind is even harder. I just love dumping them in word files... xD

Hi Mandy! :)

These are great fun, aren't they? =]
They're great to take your mind off things, I think.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Kitty Taylor
Location: Derby, Derbyshire, United Kingdom

I'm a 23 year old female, who spends much too much of her time online, and in the book store. I'm in love with writing, and reading and anything mildly creative, really. In the future I'd like to write professionally, because it's something that I know would be perfect for me, but until I come up with best selling material that will keep me in the moneys, I think I'll just head for whatever I can get. Got contacts in the writing business? Let me know, I'd love to learn more about it.

"Come on babe

Why don't we paint the town?

And all that Jazz

I'm gonna rouge my knees

And roll my stockings down

And all that jazz

Start the car

I know a whoopee spot

Where the gin is cold

But the piano's hot

It's just a noisy hall

Where there's a nightly brawl

And all

That

Jazz

Skit two!

And all that Jazz

Hotshot!

Whoopee!

And all that Jazz

Slick your hair

And wear your buckle shoes

And all that Jazz

I hear that Father Dip

Is gonna blow the blues

And all that Jazz

Hold on, hon

We're gonna bunny hop

I bought some aspirin

Down at United Drug

In case you shake apart

And want a brand new start

To do that-

Jazz

Find a flask

We're playing fast and loose

And all that jazz

Right up here

Is where I store the juice

And all that jazz

Come on, babe

We're gonna brush the sky

I bet you lucky Lindy

Never flew so high

'Cause in the stratosphere

How could he lend an ear

To all that Jazz?

Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy shake

And all that jazz

Oh, she's gonna shimmy 'till her garters break

And all that jazz

Show her where to park her girdle

Oh, her mother's blood'd curdle

And If she hears her baby squeal

It's For all that jazz

And all that jazz

And all that jazz

Come on babe

Why don't we paint

The town?

And all that jazz

I'm gonna

Rouge my knees

And roll my

Stockings down

And all that jazz

Start the car

I know a whoopee spot

Where the gin is cold

But the piano's hot

It's just a noisy hall

Where there's a nightly brawl

And all that-

Jazz

No, I'm no one's wife

But, oh, I love my life

And all that Jazz!

That Jazz!"
