my story has by now arrived at the spectacular (at least for me) landmark of 25k words, without me really registering how it got there. i'm finding out a lot more about my own views than i'd like to by pushing the plot forward, it's a thrilling experience.

Is this supposed to be an analytical essay on a poem, or is it your poem complete with its own explication? I'm confused.

It's the essay that I will be sending to the colleges that I am applying to. Ask your doctor if you could start at a low dose, and see if you like it or not. It (adderal) really doesn't feel to alter my creativity. If anything it works for the better for me. But hey it's your choice haha. Thanks

Indifference is the only way to express the way I feel about the place I call home. The world is such an interesting place that keeps me in a state of constant change. As the perpetual downfall of my enthusiasm for the place that I once called, “Home”, I hear a distant bell that calls me away to another destination.

hey IceM, I'm not going to repeat what the other's said, but they are absolutely correct. NEVER pose questions and then answer them immediately. If you can answer the question in one sentence, don't ask it... just answer it. If it's a central question (to your thesis) that will be answered over the course of your paper, then you can ask it.

Hello there, I'm beginning my new novella which centers around a young boy and his world, or at least how he perceives it. The central themes I'm trying to convey are loss of innocence and the beauty within the mind of children. I've written a short first chapter and would love your critique. Thank you! Chapter One The transparent rays of the sun shone down upon the field in which he lay. Flowers were all around him, forming...

I'd me much obliged if anyone would proof read an essay I just wrote that needs to be handed in tomorrow (Friday) morning . Considering the time when I'm posting this it is unlikely that I'll get any responses. I realize that it's somewhat forced writing because it is but I'm primarily concerned with grammar at the moment, because I'm falling asleep and just can't think straight right now. The essay is on...
