Quote by Rebellious_SoulI am in love
I have been in love many times. I have found through the years that evaluating what was 'true' love takes about a decade. Thus I have lost people that I realized later I should have never let go and that on many occasion what I thought was love truly was not. That said, even if there is only a 1% chance that it is real, it is worth everything to pursue. Nothing is more valuable than real love, nothing. I hope it is, you deserve nothing less.

As the endtime nears, I wonder. Have I been as good as I thought I was, or did I not reach far enough? Did I do all I could? I did terrible things that had to be done, but was I right, was it truly necessary? I guess it is good that I keep questioning myself. Doubt can be good at times. It can keep us humble. I often need humble, but I wish I had more satisfaction. I always wanted to leave the world a better place, but it seems I have been unsuccessful in that. Why do things seem worse now than 30 years ago? Maybe it is not worse it just seems like it to me. I am not as happy as I once was, perhaps that is what interferes with a proper evaluation of the truth? Maybe I am no longer able to really know what is true anymore?

I am in a state of shock.
One of my rock heroes, David Bowie, has died at the ridiculously young age of sixty-nine.
He will be missed.

I don't know who started it. I don't even care what 'it' is! STOP! The next post that even slightly appears to be a personal attack for anything will result in dire consequences, up to and including suspension or removal from the site.
I am very sick. I have very few days I am capable of using the site. I refuse to spend what little time I have left here dealing with childish antics. I have had enough.
If you are unhappy about this or anything else in the forum contact me or Yasmin 'aka da boss'.

Been thinking of the sadness and comradeship of the past few days in Paris. I wonder, will this weaken their nation by fear or bring it together; will it steal their liberty and freedoms in the name of safety?

I really want to hit some people right now. If I only knew where they lived...
I'm right here! You better bring a big can of whoop-ass because I may be old, but I'm feisty.
Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

This came out earlier this year, but I just saw it. It is a bit gruesome, but this is an atrocity that everyone needs to know about. Please watch it.

I can't believe we have been on SS this long. You were something special back at the beginning of 2013, but now you are even more.

We do have many 18+ rated stories on the site. Unless the library has stations assigned by age they may block us out of concern of youngsters getting access to inappropriate material. I would not expect college libraries to block us for that reason. The library I have used has terminals for kids and terminals for adults. SS is blocked on the kid terminals but not the others.

Thank you all very much. I often come to read though these bits of humor and encouragement.

I have been away quite a bit for personal reasons, I am sorry.
Lately when I check the forums I am saddened and frankly a bit ashamed. I have always thought of Stories Space as a big family. From the first day I joined, I have been treated so very good and respectfully. I think of some of you as good friend even though we have never met in person.
I am not addressing this to any specific person because I have seen several who are falling into the category of making this site less than pleasant.
Lately there has been an influx of exceptional new young writers and we older/long time, and hopefully mature members, need to step up to set the good example. I trust that we can because I have not met anyone yet that I have found any reason to disrespect or dislike. Yes, we may all disagree at times, but you can disagree and still respect each other. Please be as good to each other as you have always been to me.

Yes and have. Cardboard on a burger was one of my favs.

I collect Snow Globes and Music Boxes.
Snow globes have always been a favorite of mine.
I collect DVDs. I have six walls covered up to six feet high. I have no idea how many, maybe 7000-8000. I used to collect baseball cards and comic books, until collecting them became a focus of the industries. Then they started manipulating the prices of those collectable and flooded the market with extra items. In 1976 there were two sets of baseball cards, Topps and Donruss. A couple of years later Fleer started. By 1982 there were more than 40 different sets of baseball cards manufactured each year. Many comic book companies issue comics with multiple different cover to encourage collectors to buy as many as six of an issue that are identical except for having a different picture on the cover.
BTW Autumnlove123, welcome to Stories Space. I hope you enjoy the stories/poems and people as much as I do. They are both excellent company.

My writing style has been greatly influenced by two disparate areas.
I grew up in the fledgling days of D&D (Dungeons and Dragons). I was even involved in some of the early game development because of my association with the designer's son Gary Gygax. The person running a game would develop a fantasy world, often to great depth, and assist the players in creating their characters. The n the players played. They made the decisions of what they would do and the game director would report the consequences. The Game director would have short and long term plots built into the fabric of the world and would, time to time, leave bread crumbs to lead the characters back to their 'destiny.'
I have always been a big movie/TV nut. So when I write, it is like taking the visual story in my head and putting it on paper. I see the movie of these adventures and translate it from visual to literary medium. I think that is why my stories lack an emotional depth that others get. Maybe over time I can over come that. Hope it is sooner than later.
Sorry for boring you with this. If you can think of ways to modify my way of writing, please give me your thoughts.

I work on developing a full background of how the world works. I build multi-level characters with strengths and weaknesses. As story progresses I let the characters tell me what they would do and that helps shape the story. I find most of my characters carry a piece of my personality in them making it easy to empathize with their choices and motivations. This also gives me a chance to exercise those parts of me that I am not proud of. All of my stories have progressed along the lines I expected because I change the situations to move toward my story points of climax, but they rarely end exactly as I expected.

For Kiera: Ice Age (2002) I have watched that with grandkids over and over.
For Nekala: The Fault In Our Stars (2014) A real tear jerker.
Dr. V: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr R.S: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. V: Exactly.
Dr R.S: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. E.S: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
W.Z: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. V: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

I saw 'Voices' on DVD. It was excellent. It had Ryan Reynolds, Gemma Arterton and Anna Kendrick in it. It hit a strange balance of funny and morbid. Few movies have been able to do that. There were times I was laughing like crazy and other times I cringed from a disturbing scene. Did I mention it has a talking dog and cat? The DVD is about $13-15 USD or you can rent it. It is well worth two hours of you time.
