    Ugh, I could never go for it. What's the point of writing something if you can't be proud of it? You may be proud of the achievement of this, but probably not the work itself if you're trying to write so fast. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the point of writing all about expressing yourself? Forcing yourself to write a bunch of stuff you don't like just for the sake of filling a word count just seems like it goes against what writing is all about.

    It's an interesting idea, and I'm sure it's a good way to get yourself noticed as an author. Just my two cents.

    Well, it's been a long enough time since I've posted anything new, and I've had this story for a while. Also, the ending is a little weak and I was wondering if I could get some constructive criticism. Anyways, without further ado I present to you:

    Survivor's Guilt

    There was a time when my people were the lords of the land. We roamed our territory, keeping watch and overseeing everything. We moved in groups, never staying in one place. That is how we preferred it. That was the way things were for generations. Then on one sad day, our whole way of life was forever changed. They came without warning, as we crested a hill they were upon us. Dressed in the skins of our own people they moved like lightning, too fast for us to comprehend. We had never seen death the way they brought it. Using strange objects we had never seen before they attacked us in groups of 10. Isolating one of us, wearing him down over time, until he finally collapsed. When one of our numbers was finished, they descended upon him like vultures, tearing everything away. When they finally left, only their bones remained.

    From then on, our days as Lords were over. We moved quickly, too quickly. Many of our number collapsed from exhaustion, too weak to go any further. We discovered too late that was exactly what they wanted. Slowly the months turned to years and our numbers diminished. I watched friends, family members and mates die at the hands of these terrible monsters. They returned again and again, their greed enormous, their appetite insaitable. Through blizzards and bitter cold they always returned, unstoppable. This type of massacre was unknown to us, and we were afraid. At long last, our great leader himself fell to these beasts, and the mantle of leadership passed on to me, the responsibility of our people.

    Alas, I was all that remained, Lord of a land of death, leader of nothing. For days they chased me ever onwards, until at long last, exhausted and cold I stumbled into a cave hoping to hide from these bringers of death. I waited, too scared to move. I waited, but they never returned. I waited until my body froze and I could no longer move, easy prey. Yet still they never returned. I know not how long I waited, for I wait still. Here I sit, this cave as my prison, the ice as my tomb. Here I sit, alone, awaiting the hunters to return and finish the job they started. The last of a dead people, my guilt vaster than the lands we once roamed, my sorrow heavier than the mountain which weighs down upon me. These hunters took everything from me, but not even they can assauge the pain that I feel. One day I will be free, but I will not seek revenge, for that is not the way of my people. I will not bring myself to their level, I will continue our traditions until death.

    I love you too Kelene! You know, I'm living the American dream. I have a wonderful wife and I'm doing the baby sitter without regret! X'D

    Lol my friend's dad ran away from his first wife with the babysitter, who is my friend's mom...

    Sounds like something out of a porno.

    I really liked Snape too. It takes guts to do what he did. I mean, he died without breaking his character. His role was never broken. The Dark Lord never knew what he was, not ever. That takes serious skill. I think it's jokes that he loved Lily, but it kinda makes sense... Why else would he harbour so much malice towards James/Harry?

    Mmm, savoring the thought. Of course, so you kids know, life has many other pleasures that we won't go into right now. I'm too busy getting lost in my thoughts. :drool:

    Even though my time on this Earth is short, I've found pleasures of the heart to be more satisfying then pleasures of the flesh.

    Yeah... My mom just realized tonight that she forgot. I guess I probably should have told her and other people, but I go to the trouble to find out/remember their birthdays, and I guess they can't do the same for me >.>

    I don't really care that I didn't do anything or get anything, it's just aggravating that everybody flat out forgot.

    Go there to pick up chicks! There's nothing wrong with going alone, if people ask just say you're keeping your options open. Also, as long as you act and seem like it's not a big deal, people won't think it is anyways.

    Seriously, I hate that "like a brother" bullshit. Hear it too often as well >.>
