Impatience....

"You could be an Angel of it."

So, I was just reading around, looking for inspiration, and whatnot.

And I find this nice story. I read it, and the first 15 chapters are ok, minor errors with grammar and spelling...

Then the main character dies.

Yep, fine, that's all well and good.

But er, except...

That they die in a manner similar to Shakespeare's
"Thus I die. Thus, thus, thus.
Now I am dead,
Now I am fled,
My soul is in the sky.
Tongue, lose thy light.
Moon take thy flight.
Now die, die, die, die."

Took me a while to find that quote. Apparently from Midsummer Night's Dream.

Is it Puck that dies? Whatever.

And somehow, just somehow, they end up in Heaven, complete with golden gates (no bridges), their dead mother, and God. Goddamn.

To top it off, there a minor reference to the Devil almost taking over their soul or something.

And then lastly, your "standard" death scene, complete with a crying girl, and a stoned brother.

Sure, it's nice and all. But it's a tad overdone. I mean, really overdone.

If it were toast, the toaster would be on fire.

If it were a steak; it would be ashes by now.

Etc.

So that's my =S reading for the day. It's good motivation though, to write better.

"Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita"

Does anyone remember that ^?

I do.

I'm not so old, but I'm at a crossroads, so to speak, and I don't know what to do...

Well. Time to write.

Hoping they reply.
