The Writer's Café

:twisted: The Price of Power :twisted:

The deep abyss calls my name night after night,
It calls to me, telling me to come curl up in its soothing darkness.
And yet I am haunted by the things lurking just inside the black.

I must stay in the world of light, no matter how much my mind begs for sleep
Whenever I do slip away, lose control and just give in
My mind torments me with visions of demons and spirits.

I wake up from nights like this one,
my throat raw and my eyes burning from the salty tears
I sit and wonder what I did to deserve this pain

Does anyone understand the pain I go through?
Would anyone understand if I tried to tell them??
I doubt they would, so I hide it away inside me.

You learn to live with it, the Insomnia
You start going mad, I've heard it happens
What is madness? The urge to laugh when everyone else is somber?

Or is it truly what they call it?
Is the rage I feel burning just beneath the surface a sign of madness?
If so, then I accept the madness. This madness gives me power.
Power over enemies, for they do not know what to expect when I fight them.
They cower and they squeal as I let loose the rage, they beg for mercy.

:twisted: If the price of this power is insomnia, then who am I to complain :twisted:



Thanks for reading. I didn't really have an outline, I just let loose my emotions again. And this one (fortunately and unfortunately) is real and is based on my own feelings.
 
I plan to write a book about any subject really, well I have a subject, it's very broad, and not narrow enough for me to explain right now. So far, the title will be either, Chaos - The Beginning, The House of Winds, and or Catching(Chasing) Death.

I always say titles come afterwards. But meh. Whatever floats your boat.

I normally like to say that too, but this is a book hope to get published one day. I want my best quality work, a title that intrigues and better yet, a story line that is unforgettable.
 
Good luck. :)

I've got commitment issues. Novels, people. So yeah. I'd love to get published as well, hell, I bet everyone on FF does, but I'm one of those with lower chances. Hah.

Any spoilers? :D

Vague ones, even? (Yeah, working a plot is pretty damn hard, I'd know.)

Umm I want it to be suspenseful as possible, also I want a book where my characters are very,very, to an extent that it might even become somewhat a psychological book etc...

Spoilers!

I have some ideas, but the one that sticks out the most is well....The main character(a girl) has been placed in this mental facility for half her life, she plan to escape, and when she does she becomes the most wanted, etc..
 
Thinking about writing a novel. Possibly a distopian fiction set in a post apocalyptic society. Those are always my favorite reads. What do you guys think? Any tips anyone could give me? I want to make it pretty detailed with an elaborate social structure.
 
The idea is very nice, not many of those books are that great anymore. So you must have a story that captures the reader from the start, and keep them interested. Also don't do they stuff other writers do, make up an ending that fits, make the ending something, snazzy.
