http://slow.writerscafe.org/mcjessi11 The original writings of author The Scholar en-us Copyright 2026 WritersCafe.org 1776009714 WritersCafe.org RSS Generator 15 It's the story of an old woman who wants to be forgiven but doesn't think she can be, a boy who learns to be a friend, and a little girl with lots of books who gets swept up in the adventure. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/1280833/ Prologue: To Say Goodbye This is the storyof the greatest man I have ever met. It is the story of the only man I haveknown who truly understood the meaning of greatness; a man who lived in theshadows of kings and warriors and gods and heroes, and yet was himself all ofthese .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/1160168/ Fantasy Series in Progress: Book I: A Touch of Magic http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/1160166/ just a bit of a story I've been fiddling with, this would be a chapter or two http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/1127705/ Another of those pesky 200-word sentences. They're actually rather fun, to be perfectly honest. Liked my last one better though. :/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/986914/ 200-word sentence written for a contest. I know it's not great -- my first shot -- but I'm sure glad it's over. That is NOT as easy to do as it seems. Also, it's easier to get if you read aloud. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/982812/ I saw a contest asking for a poem about nonsense and when I read the submissions, some of them actually made sense! . . . in a nonsensical way, but still!! Here's some REAL nonsense for you. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/982406/ This is a sneak-peek into a fantasy series of mine called (as of now) Weight of Nations. It's not my epic fantasy I've been working on, but I wanted to see what you thought nonetheless. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/982165/ "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying." -Robert Herrick “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time" http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/980764/ Poetry preview to a story of mine--"For it has been said that only once it is dark can you see the stars." http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/980301/ A poet speaking to Poetry. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/979326/ some history for a book of mine, important historical quotes and passages http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/978127/ -up and edited- Random story-piece, not connected to anything else. Just written using characters I've created. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/970539/ Random story-piece, not connected to anything else. Just written using characters I've created. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/970530/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/945989/ If we could go back to the daysforgotten, when for long we playedin stonework castles slumbering in their hilly beds.If we could remove our late clothesand don the rags from yesterday,the rags which were to us alonetwined in blazing gold.If we could forsake our concerns,invalid.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/945570/ I honestly don't know what to say about this one. It doesn't have the best rhyme scheme and it's more of a story than a vague message. Perhaps I'll tweak it and use it in a fantasy book one day . . . http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/944040/ I was thinking about ships, and . . . voilà. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/889974/ Just a descriptive passage I had to write for my English class. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/888131/ Men sang it on the day they marched to battle at Maldon, to their deaths. They sang it to raise their spirits, cheer their hearts, but the outlook was ever grim. They knew their fateful end. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/828273/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/825624/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/825623/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/825622/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/825621/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/825620/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/825619/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/825618/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/825617/ http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/825615/ Again, my "book" is more of a short backstory, and so each "chapter" is technically a page. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/825612/ Any random pieces somehow connected to this story that I have floating around will be posted here if you would like to check them out. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/825596/ This is a fantasy backstory rather than a book, only I wanted to post things in short (very short) chapters, and so I deemed it a book. Originally, it was to be the prologue of one of my old books... http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/825593/ Psalm 46:10 ~ “Be still, and know that I am God.” http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/824898/ This was an interesting write. I remember writing it one winter while we had the fireplace going. Guess it made me think of Dragons . . . http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/824874/ Just a poem I had written a while ago to go with a fantasy book I had wanted to write. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/824872/ Falling back on my old stuff again. There here is the last one, I believe. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/824726/ I'm just on an ancient poem rampage, pulling poems out of my dresser from years gone by all over the place. :) This one's a bit dramatic. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/824718/ Another one of those old poems I wrote years ago, stumbled upon, and felt like sharing. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/824715/ . . . when you do not have the strength to do so on your own. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/824674/ Just a Christian's inspirational scribble. :) http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/824489/ A wistful piece of poetry I wrote a while ago. Reading books always makes me wish I was in them! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/824400/ What is beauty? I kind of just wrote this on a whim, so we'll see how it goes. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/824069/ A poem about war in which the door symbolizes the dwelling of Death. It's divided into two parts, and then the last two lines stand alone. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/824053/ Travesty. It was the only word her mind could formulate to describe the scene before her. The view from her hill was a travesty of everything that had ever been good. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/823999/ A fantasy novel I am currently writing. I'm not entirely sure how much I wish to reveal at the moment so I think I'll just leave it at that. Just curious what people think. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/823998/ I wrote this when I was 11 years old, and I was determined to put it at the beginning of my soon-to-be epic fantasy novel. It was the beginning of my love for writing. Just wanted to share it. :) http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/mcjessi11/823995/
