I started doodling and drew this androgynous Inuit-looking kid and named him/her Nyjhrr. Then I decided that a name that cool HAD to mean something, so I decided it meant http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Sarah-Takacs/217487/ This won WV Writers Contest in...ohmidots, eleventh grade was 2001! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Sarah-Takacs/217485/ This one is told from the viewpoint of a character that's dead at the beginning of the story. Unless I break up the whole thing into multiple short stories. (These ARE honestly connected, I promise...but I've left out transitional pieces because I haven http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Sarah-Takacs/217483/ Also need help with a title for this piece. I think it's a prequel, in that it also has Lexy in it. Lexi? I need some consistency on how I spell his name. Err...is it wrong that my only recurring character is based on the Berkeley Springs town-cat w http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Sarah-Takacs/217480/ I was talking with my dad and I accidentally said "infernal optimist" instead of "eternal optimist." And then this thing fell out. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Sarah-Takacs/217474/ Okay, I know I only said I'd share the one poem, but this one is funny. And vulgar. And was a Christmas present to my friend Cox, the most glorious bartender this side of the galaxy. My first attempt at a mock-epic. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Sarah-Takacs/186054/ I tried to make a break from the fantasy and sci-fi genre. (If you note the similarities between the main character and Poddy from Heinlein's Podkayne of Mars, or the main character from Menace from Earth, you will note it's not exactly a clean break, bu http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Sarah-Takacs/118482/ I typically hate poetry. I write excellent poetry, but I hate the whole genre. Here's the one poem I'll ever share. I think if I had any kind of artistic talent, I would never have picked up the pen. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Sarah-Takacs/118037/ I need a title for this. Title this for me; do my job. This was going to be a Changeling game I was going to run, but it never happened and so I made it into a story. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Sarah-Takacs/23289/ I have a zillion mutually exclusive versions of this story. This is an excerpt that, hopefully, I will use. It's too vast for me to figure out how to piece it all together coherently--I think it wants to be longer than my usual fare, and I'm not sure I http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Sarah-Takacs/3714/ Originally, this was going to be an erotic horror story. Only I get embarrassed writing erotica, and I don't have the pacing for horror. So I nipped it in the bud and cut it down to exposition and slapped a "Literary fiction" label on it. T http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Sarah-Takacs/3655/ Decided at random to write for as long as I could without using a period--and keep it grammatically correct. (Ellipses don't count.) So naturally I had to come up with a REASON not to use a period. And thus, this weird s**t was born. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Sarah-Takacs/3654/
