Well there ya go.

you were right, both what you and storm in a tea cup were free verse, but not free writing, which is what sixstringking said was without themes, often the exact opposite, being an intense dwelling on one subject.

there were some good lines in those few stanzas you posted; but there's a bit of cliche in there as well....

I agree. Like I said, Im still editing, I might get it up one day...

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo;13474409]He's a pretty good guy.[/QUOTE]Most people hate him.

your right.. that is free VERSE what he did was free WRITE

....

i re-iterate

[QUOTE]free writing is often a means to an end; a method of renewing interest and ideas, though sometimes used for therapeutic purposes. it entails forgoing conscious thought, allowing the pen/your hand to write, without any thought as to what you are writing. [B]the moment you break from this, and start correcting/applying structure or modifying it in any way, you are no longer free-writing[/B].[/QUOTE]

his piece was clearly not free written, nor is free writing anything to do with the idea of not having a theme; it is a method of writing, rather than a thematic approach

Surf knows his stuff. Are you doing literature in uni or something?

English at Exeter University, down south of england. its in the top twenty unis in the uk, and there's alot of posh kids who didn't get into oxford/cambridge. I'm in my first year: reading beowulf at the moment, translated by seamus heaney and its pretty darn good. however, we also look at literary critcism and relevant theories. russian formalism is more interesting than it sounds.

to be honest, there's an essay i could be doing right now, but i'm devouting every waking hour to avoid having to write it. and its two in the morning and i actualy need to sleep. good night s&l.

Goodnight surf. All sounds very interesting and what not.

free writing means no structural focus, not just writing everything that comes to your mind. I agree with Surf at that.

I feel like some tofu now.

Munchies amirrite

urrite

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... I just ate far too much.

I really should actually do some critting some day - it just seems to be every time I'm in here I just can't find anything that I can say something about that will help the writer. :-/

Yeah, that's my goal as well.

Yeah, that's my goal as well.

me too, gice

i don't have any goals.

just like to live.

's a good goal

Hey, I didn't say it was my goal... my goal is to wangle myself a three-way with Keira Knightley and Kate Beckinsdale, but in the absence of that, I'll settle for two other attractive 20-something females.

Just finished my first weekend of work and my feet hurt. Like loads. 16 hours over 2 days on the busiest days since last xmas is hard work, especially as a first job. Ah well, lots of money.

And for whoever asked, yes, Waterstones do do a 10% student discount.

I saw this and thought I'd clicked L&R on mistake.

couple more weeks and you'll start to get into the groove of things. after about three months of washing dishes i could just switch off and function on auto pilot. the money should ease things along until then...

Yeh, thats exactly what I heard from one of the people that works with me. For a couple months she dreaded coming in, then something just clicked and everything became simple and easy. I hope that comes round for me, because that weekend was hard.

punk forum can go suck a lemon

Imagine the facial expressions. It'd make for a pretty punk rawk band photo, to be true.

okay, community thread's looking a bit stale.

devils and dust was a great album, even if it did sound a bit dylanesque.
disscuss how good bruce springsteen is.

also, more people need to post in tojes' imagery thread, or those kind of ideas won't take off...
