Welcome to the Creative Writing Network

Thank you for visiting Creative Writing and I hope this will blossom into a very useful site for Creative Writers. I have found several sites over the past few years which have useful resources and articles but the problem is they're all over the place. I am hoping the forum section of this network will prove to be very useful in categorizing useful information. Hopefully, we will post story extracts and help each other out in our quest to become authors (or continue if we've already made it).

Feel free to start adding your own forum discussions and groups - the sites yours to do as you please (well, within limits obviously).

Any suggestions / requests please get in touch

Blood

Scarlet and white Scarlet and white. A spray of delicate drops On the harsh snow. No one asked For the artful display. No one admired it either. No, not a single Person paused to look, To appreciate, To understand. Why do people fear me so? I am the elixir of life, And yet I am the symbol of death. What do you fear In a bit of harmless red? If not for me, The cold would sting you, The wind would bite you, The sun would wither you. When I am gone, You are without life, Without warmth, Without h… Continue

Fat Bastard Sucker Punches Opponent and Announcer

Tonight at Trump International Hotel & Tower Casino in Las Vegas, professional boxing ring announcer and former child-star Michael Buffer took a lady-like swing at super heavy-weight boxer Fat Bastard.
