Beelzebunny | t3_xg6su | WritingPrompts | c5m4lu7 | 1,343,754,425 | t3_xg6su | I like your suggestion to take a shower. When I get writer's block, I'll sometimes go sit in the bathroom.
As for my paragraph, do you think that going between Osbourne's inner thoughts and narrating the action is too disorienting? Should I have separated the two perspectives? I welcome any criticism. Grammar, t... | 4 | null |

I think they’ve killed most of us, and I know you were never properly introduced but you don’t have much choice. Don’t try to fight back, just hide. If the lights begin to turn then it means it has already started. Remember, do not d... | 2 | null |
theplace | t1_c5lr2f7 | WritingPrompts | c5m7kro | 1,343,764,879 | t3_xee88 | This is a great piece. I think your style is awesome.
I'm not a pro, so I don't have much in the way of advice, but I am not really a fan of the "?!" in the first paragraph; it seems kind of unprofessional. I would tone it down to just a plain question mark. | 2 | null |

MissMelons | t1_c5m7kro | WritingPrompts | c5m8bwx | 1,343,767,491 | t3_xee88 | Haha, yeah I know. I sometimes let common mannerisms break free in my writing. It's mainly an issue of trying to express how it feels and sounds in my head and then writing it out to have the same sort of expression. With that specific sentence i was trying to express how she couldn't even control what her body was doi... | 1 | null |
SurvivorType | t3_xee88 | WritingPrompts | c5makwk | 1,343,777,960 | t3_xee88 | Johnson sat huddled behind the fallen log. He was slowly freezing to death. In his mind's eye he could picture the position of every one of his friend's inert bodies that had been mowed down by the machine gun nest.

- Write out a mythology for yourself for the creature. The characters (if you have any) may not know the creatures origins or any abilities it might have... but it can help if you, the writer, knows.
- Does this creature (or creatures) have any enemies?
- Any weaknesses?... | 11 | null |
