Anybody here write poetry and short stories?

[Sugar]

Yea. That's generally what a lot of different writers have said online. Anywhere from 5 months to a year. But no bullshyt, that's really dope bruh. You already did what I'm trying to do...twice. Keep it up


I went on a buying spree the last few weeks too. Read 4 books last month and bought 14 books to keep me busy from now until April The whole Harry Potter series (never read it), the first two from the City of Bones series, four from the Game of Thrones series and The Host (shyt was so bad I stopped after the 2nd chapter tho )

Man, I got the first book of Game of Thrones, but I couldn't make it past the 20th page -- that shyt was a snoozer -- so I bought the season one DVD and loved it
I'm mad they did my boy Khal Drogo like that tho. nikka inspired me to step my stroke game up

I like the basic character driven stuff. This gonna sound weird; but, as a kid, I was always in my head. I basically made everyone, in my school, apart of my "story." I just needed people and I make some scenarios. That's how it started off. I got a thousand different characters in my head.

Since I'm a Hip-Hop head, I've created my own record label. And since I'm an artist, I've even created a logo, artist and given 'em all a story/history.

I always put myself into anything I'm consuming (eg pretending I'm a character on a sitcom I'm watching and create scenarios).

I've even taken custom video game characters and made "fan fiction" from my time playin' seasons, in a basketball game.

I just don't write 'em down. I got plenty of notes, ideas, sketches, etc. But, I haven't "put it together" since I was a kid.

I admire your ability to emotionally drive that Dinner story. I've always been great at school papers and I'm creative, but, I can't wait to get over this wall and be able to start to "move" people with my creative writing.

I'm just makin' more time for my art.

Breh keep at it, I used to do a lot of this same stuff. Thats why I like pro wrestling so much, you can basically take a character and act out anything they do. I learned creativity by first being a copy cat.

the flames that purge, the destruction I've seen
refuge from the wind while I close my eyes to dream
to travel in all my thoughts like a ship at sea
and to castaway the nightmares I chose not to see
but when the temperature rises, I can't ignore the sweat
its represents my fears, my short comings and regrets
like toxins to my body I hope to give release
to find peace when i'm awake, rest when i'm asleep
next to find my grief floating like a bottle and a note
through a river that flows away, I forgot what I wrote

Pristine, the esteem is embedded in a 16
I deliver in a elixir or like a alchemical tinctures
By hermetic Members Words become phrases and phrases become sentences
Let me breakdown the mathematics
Cause they say we living in the 7 but operating in the 6
compress and manipulate like cymatics
My clique be full of savages
who study Egyptian Cuneiform and such subject matters
As The Mahabharata & Thoths Emerald Tablets

Nah breh you should try writing some of it down. You might have a million dollar idea floating in your brain.
