| Your deadline makes me nervous. I need to edit! Like a wild-thing. End of the year + Finals + Amazing contest = busy, busy busy! I am trying though. ^_^ |

Oy, extend, yes? Otherwise, I'm going to have bloody slapdash pieces--or not close to five. -_-;
I've also got finals... And they're always ineptly timed.

Yes, please? I have three very rough drafts, and hopefully five by tonight, but I need time to edit.
Right now they're so rough they don't even have a plan. I just wrote, and it kept skipping all over the place - in POVs, tenses, characters, characters' history, everything!
Plus life is a bit insane right now.
So yes. Please extend? I'll give you cookies.

^-^
Thanks, Cal. <3
I'm having trouble getting my pieces romantic. Probably because it's my least favourite genre. XD |

Wrote another poem.
It's called "Don't Act All Hurt/Don't Be Silly". It's supposed to have two separate points of view, hence the "/" in the title. I didn't do it on purpose, I just wrote a verse that was some sort of chorus, and that really set apart the two blocks of text, and I thought: "Hurm. Can't I do this?" This will also be the last poem I write for the thingy, because I kinda feel like I'm cheating. |

| 003. Anniversary: I didn't know whether to write this in second person because I already had a section in my fifth piece that is written in second person, but it just didn't work any other way. It's about an old man and his brain-dead wife. |

Hey, so I... Kinda just realized that... The third thingy I posted doesn't really use any of the words. I phased out. So I doesn't really count.
Sorry!
EDIT: So, to replace the second poem, I'm entering an old piece called "Break-Up." It was recently digged up from the catacombs of the Romantic Fiction section. Don't ask me why. It uses 034. Independence. |
