notes
Eight rules for writing fiction:
1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
4. Every sentence must do one of two things -- reveal character or advance the action.
5. Start as close to the end as possible.
6. Be a sadist. Now matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them -- in order that the reader may see what they are made of.
7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.
8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To heck with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages
there somthing about changing clothes that soothes the troubled mind.

as he walked into the room..
her eyelids made no indication of concious,
she seemed to be in a very deep peaceful sleep.
before she fell into this slumber she had a very
facinating night. she smiled before she threw herself
on her bed and embraced the soft pillows. in sleep
though he could tell she was having a good dream.
maybe filled with all her favorite things. or just bullshit.
he moved closer and was hesitant to wake her, he thought
back to years ago when he first met her.. they were 8
and she tried to wrestle him when he told her his name.
she won.
he thought back to the last time he saw her.
pathetically he remembered every detail.. the
way it was raining fit the day horribly. He was
going to to a shitty college that he didnt even
want to be at.
"You're my fucking best friend and im pissed. call the school and tell
them to fuck off. . oh you cant do that, fuck.. well when you're back here
you better show up at my house with a box of crunch berries!"
and he had the crunch berries with him.
"How the fuck did you get in here? im excited but im just curious..
did i leave the back door unlocked? i need to stop doing that." she sighed.
"or are you still good at picking locks."
"same hideaway key location for these three years? shut up and give me a hug."
"oh!"
no make up on and her eyes were bright, soft cheeks curved with her classic grin.

Barefoot, I walked towards the window. I slid it open and greeted the sunshine with a smile just as warm. I placed my hot tea and pack of cigarettes on the stool next to the window and took a nice seat in a couch seat older than I. From my 2nd story window my eyes scanned familiar scenery. The cold autumn wind blew leaves around the passing people, the travelers for the moment.. I like to say, we are all travelers until we are no longer in search of our destinations. I lit a cigarette, leaned back on my chair reaching into the crevice of the cushion, I pulled out my current escape from the world around me, licking my lips, I took a drag and began to read. I was taking a cautious sip of my tea and a sound so slight.. So quiet.. Caught my attention. The sound revealed itself in seconds. Footsteps somehow were softly pounding on the concrete. As I looked up, it was as if there was nothing beyond the eyes that by chance met mine.
“Hello.” He spoke in, the perfect tone and volume, his voice was up and cheery, as if he was and old friend. Someone I knew.
“Hi there.” I said, as I felt my lips curve upwards. I noticed his eyes, even from the distance were dancing with the colors of autumn. Right as his lips adopted the smile on mine.
