this is mostly for the people on my favorites;
I'd really love for you guys to enter.
however, if you're not on my favorites and you'd like to enter, I'd suggest reading my writing and checking out my favorites list to get an idea of what I'd like.
if I don't like what you've written me, I'll tell you straight up in the comments, so please be prepared.
basically, I'm in a really hard situation right now. my parents just told me last night that they're getting divorced, and my dad moved out this morning, leaving my mom to deal with me (a 'problem' child), my 14-year-old brother, and my 9-year-old brother who has autism and can't speak.
all I want from you guys is beautiful writing. I really just need something to lean on and honestly, reading amazing poetry would really help right now.
what I'm looking for :
- left-align.
- no rhyme.
- plain backgrounds.
- no cliche.
- good spelling/grammar.
- imagery, metaphor etc.
- flow.
- screenname in AN.
- EMOTION.
don't write about my parents' divorce.
write about something that makes you emotional.
I NEED to feel your writing.
I need to feel SOMETHING right now.
please.
make me cry and you get bonus points.
[it shouldn't be too hard, I've been crying all day.]
go.

idk. ive been thru 2 divorces...but i caint write bout them u said lol
-
-
no... I said don't write about my situation specifically.
If you want to write about your divorces because they make you emotional and will produce an amazing write, then go ahead.

Sorry to hear, hun. My parents divorced when I was younger, and I know it's not easy.
I probably won't be able to write for you, since one of my best friends passed away this morning, and my muse is shot dead, but I do hope you get the kind of entries you're hoping for, and that the whole thing works out; it'll all be okay in the end.

]

i will.

aw, I'm sorry that you're having to go through all of this dear. I know it must be a lot to deal with. Things will be okies though.
I haven't been writing much lately but I'll really try to come up with something.
I hope you feel better soon
-
I'm sorry
im going to try to write something for you
and hopefully it will be good, but my muse is still slightly dead.
I really hope everything turns out ok -
oh god.
i'm sorry, love. if you want to talk, it's all good, my parents broke up recently and it was really difficult.
i'll try to enter, of course. -
Thanks so much for the gold Aanika.
I'm really flattered, I honestly didn't think I'd place with this!!
Hope everything is going okay hunni.
