    “Settle down, next person to talk will get detention for a week,” I couldn’t help but notice how Ms. Lyon became more aggressive every day. It was like something was invading her personal life and she had nothing better to do than take it out on us. Usually, art teachers were the peaceful ones...

    Review an excerpt from my story?

    It was late. I was tired. Mother was yelling her head off that I couldn’t – wouldn’t be allowed to – sleep until I’d done cleaning out my closet. She stood behind me, her hands on her waist, her face set in a ferocious scowl. My head was pounding, my eyes just begging to be shut. I gave her a...

    Help me out with some critique on this excerpt of my first chapter?

    Please tell me what you think. I am looking for any useful critique or suggested improvements, but all your opinions are appreciated. Note: this isn't the very beginning, but if I included that it would've been too long to fit. The chapter starts off with the setting of a ball in which a couple...

    Writing excerpt -- thoughts and opinions?

    Please be kind and considerate -- I'm very self-conscious when it comes to my writing, so please take that into consideration before saying something too harsh. Thanks. ---- I had forgotten how I'd gotten to this point. I knew I hadn't initiated confrontation, but I couldn't seem to remember...

    Very small bit excerpt of writing -- opinions?

    I like brutal, makes me learn the most. Complain about ANYTHING. I really like when people get picky about my writing and I hate it when they just say "Aw it's good :) :)" Thanks :D I remember those many months ago, the exact scene: my slouchy figure padding past Dusty’s Shelves—a local...

    Small Excerpt From One Of My Chapters, I'd Love Some Opinions?

    First off, I'd like you to know that I don't want to get this published, I'm writing it for fun. Secondly, it is about vampires and if you have a problem with that you should probably just leave this question now. I write about them because they intrigue me, not because I'm a Twilight fangirl or...

    Can you read an excerpt from my story and check for grammar mistakes?

    Please read through it and check for grammar errors and cliques. As I can't spot the mistakes I need someone to tell me how to improve it. Thanks a lot. It has been a year since I left home to this campus. For me, everything here is still strange and new. When I came home from high school, I...

    I actually wrote it. It came from a personal entry in my diary. My friend called it hilarious. Funny? Entertaining? So true? Other? (Besides punctuation!) Honesty is a must. :D WOW!

    Does this sound interesting? *excerpt in there*?

    Why was I so afraid? I’ve walked these streets day and night for the past 16 years of my life. I knew the old man who would sit and smoke a pipe or that crazy cat lady who would reek of herbs. Name a house and I could tell you who lived there and my relationship status with them. Tonight...

    Song excerpt used in the Oscars...?

    Before and after the visual effects segment, there was an intense song that was playing (Will Smith was talking during this segment). Does anyone know what song it comes from? I'm guessing a soundtrack, because I've heard it before in a movie. I just don't remember. Thanks a bunch!

    What do you think about the below excerpt taken from an article by a theist...

    ...complaining about the “atheists"? “Now here’s the third and last thing that tees me off about the atheist campaign. Adults believe in God in roughly the same way that young children believe in Father Christmas and the tooth fairy, and for very similar reasons. And before the Jacqueline...
