My personal favorites here on Writing.Com! |
Over the years, I've run across some items that have stuck in my brain. So I'm transferring them from my brain to yours and hopefully you'll like them too! Every favorite I award with a yellow ribbon...eventually! (Hey, GPs don't grow on trees!) INFORMATIVE This author is very good at explaining things! He's also packed full of valuable information!
Ever been told "show don't tell?"
Autism is a rapidly growing diagnosis. One author tries to see the positives.
The US Welfare system needs an overhaul.
COMEDY I'm a big Lord of the Rings fan, and this just cracks me up every time I read it!
This comedy is full of plays on words and dark humor. The author incorporates himself and the script, making it more funny! You have got to read it.
Hmmmm...Cemetary Golf...you have GOT to read this! It's great! I had to flush my toilet and play the piano at the same time to find out...
Another sitire...
This one happens to be true too...keep your shirt on.
The title says it all...
FANTASY Vampires:
HORROR/SCARY This cat had quite a shock.
SHORT STORIES If you like stories with twists, you are going to love these stories by the same author. They are both delightfully surprising!
This one has a great twist to it. I was thinking about it for hours after I read it!
This one I read a long time ago, and forgot to save it. I had to go searching for it. I love the ending, especially.
This drama is one I could relate to in ways and held my attention to whole time.
Smashing...
POETRY It takes a lot for a poem to stick in my mind. Most are so abstract, or written in a way that's so personal, I don't know what they are talking about. This poem was one written for the Writer's Cramp Contest. It did not win, but it was my personal favorite.
This is another written for the Writer's Cramp, about an Irish Summer. It's absolutely beautiful and put me right there in the middle!
Beautifully written and you can really feel what the author is expressing here.
You have GOT to read this. You'll be surprised.
A collection of poems based on history...
A brand new favorite describing a woman using the four seasons. It captured me!
More Poetry I like:
REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE (not journals) This is the low down from StoryMistress herself on all the sneakiness that went into StoryMaster proposing to her! This is a story you don't want to miss! I was witness to the event, and my jaw is still dropped!
This Novella in progress is based on truth - a soldiers experience in Iraq.
A good laugh at what parents go through! Simple camping trip? Never.
Yes...I think I have...but now I have an excuse!
ROMANCE/ADULT Why don't you recommend me a read? HISTORY This dramatic short story will shock you and give you hope at the same time.
Sad but a real eye opener...
FORUMS This forum has weekly auctions of siggys! The prices are very reasonable, because not many people know of the forum yet. The GPs go for upgrades!
JOURNALS & BLOGS
MADLIBS Most of the madlibs I do don't turn out right. This is one that I did that turned out incredibly funny. Maybe it was good luck on my part, or maybe it was because the author did a good job of setting it up. I recommend trying it.
IN & OUTS I don't give ribbons on the In & Outs (sorry). The content is constantly changing. But here are a few that I have a lot of fun with. Entertainment at its best....
CONTESTS & ACTIVITIES This used to be my own activity, but I have turned it over to new ownership. However, it is for sure a favorite!
I keep coming back to this contest, especially when having a case of writer's block. This contest is unique because it offers daily writing prompts!
Even if you aren't into horror, this contest is one that you could enter. It gives an ordinary thing to include in your story. A nice challenge, and you have a whole month to write!
Another by the same member. I've been amazing by the entries.

AUTHORS There are certain authors that I consistently love to read. No matter the genre or subject - they just have something about their writings that I love. I usually can't choose a favorite work of theirs, because I like them all. I encourage you to visit their ports. You won't be disappointed. Donkey Hoetay Kate - Writing & Reading C.
