David squinted at the easel, the woman carrying it, and then back. The easel was kind of a wreck; without even looking any closer, he could tell that one of the legs was too long, another was slightly crooked, and the screws holding them together were just a bit too loose. The wood it was made...

Ah, the new post is up, sorry that took longer than expected. A bunch of Real Life happened very quickly so I didn't have a chance to write for a few days.

Isaac rubbed the back of his head as he searched for words, and then regretted his hesitation immediately as the kid's eyes widened, clearly expecting the worst. "No," he reassured quickly, "No, cannabis isn't toxic to dogs. It's actually more or less the same kind of effect you might expect...

Thanks!! And yeah, unless we have a really compelling reason to, I have no intention of ever writing a serious problem for Pepper- I am no puppy killer, I swear :emoji_ok_hand:

Slow days were good days at a veterinary clinic. Maybe not the best for his paycheck, but Isaac didn't really mind eating ramen a little more often if that meant the pets in his area were healthy. If he only ever did routine checkups, flea collars, and births for the rest of his career, he would...

I'm interested!

Notes- This is an excerpt from a longer horror/urban fantasy piece I'm working on, but I really think the monster encounter here needs work and I'm not sure what to do with it. The main character is a Selkie (a person who turns into a seal when they put their sealskin on) and the monster...

Okay I REALLY REALLY like this, you've set a really good tone for how your character is perceiving the events around him, and the description is vivid enough to get a clear picture without becoming florid. Very well done!

trying not to suck!

Hello potential friends! I just made an account today after looking at this site for a while and deliberating whether or not to join. I'm twenty-one, I'm an American college student, and I like to think I'm a pretty good creative writer. I love to travel, meet new people, write and whittle...

This is really pleasant and soothing, well done!

Shrek 7

Oy. I haven't done nearly as much roleplaying as creative writing online, but the same kinds of characters keep cropping up and annoy the hell out of me. I've never liked characters with so much backstory that every time they talk they have to make another dramatic revelation- it distracts from...
