Concrete

New bit of prose, part of a WIP, and I'd particularly love to get feedback on this one. I still don't really know if I can do suspense, and it's sort of vital that I can for the story I'm wanting to tell.

Every Next DayWe live for the future, no time for the now  And spend all our time chasing every next day  You've got to keep running to catch up with the moment  While all of the world's slowly fading away   
Asking for answers, we'll never say how  We came to realise that we'd found the right way  But it's got to be ours because that's how we do it  And it's always been ours, so why not today?   
 
 
Did you keep taking care  Of your time, is it so rare?  And the clothes that you wore,  Do they still fit you any more?  Our span in the spotlight is fading away  And we'll n Every Next Day

Midnight SunLife undefined, a parting mind,  Leaves unknown dreams and wasted time  And all of me you claim to be  Emotionless and fading free   
 
Don't confuse what's hidden with what never could have been  When lost and empty voices turn to more than what they mean   
 
A life in hiding, never mind, I've seen my own disguise  The answer that I lost before was there behind my eyes  I'll find the lies that made me and I'll make myself remade  I can feel the future coming, won't mistake it for the rain   
 
I've broken through to nothing new  And no-one else will know bu Midnight Sun

DriftersMillenial incredible  It's everything I'll never be  My lazy days will drift away  Take pleasure in my apathy   
 
Look into another world of wasted lazy dreams  With hopeless ways of passing days and let-it-be routines  Glorify your boredom now and say it's only you  And take a moment to be proud of all that you don't do   
 
Millenial incredible  Recovering prestige I need  My lazy days will drift away  My life and my philosophy Drifters

So I figure if you liked Drifters and/or Every Next Day, then you might want to know what they sound like as a whole song? If that applies to you, then congratulations, you can have your dreams fulfilled through the magic of internets!

Drifters (and the song that will be Dreamers once we've got the vocal melody worked out) can be found at [link]

And Every Next Day can be found at [link]

The sound quality is pretty awful, be warned, but the lyrics come through reasonably well at least.

Well hello, stranger. Remember me? :) It's been a long time...I'm gonna have to read through all of your stuff and catch up on all I've missed these past few...wow, years.

Hey there. It has that. How's it going? :) Don't worry, you haven't missed very much, I haven't been very prolific recently.

Life's pretty good, I must say. I've been busy with college, work & social duties as usual. But I've rediscovered this lovely site thanks to a new friend, and I've decided to jump back into some of my long lost hobbies again :) How are you?

Not so bad, yeah. Still writing, more or less, although it's a different kind from what it used to be, a bit more serious and rather more pretentious as well. Chalk that one up to too much education. I'm working as a language-teaching assistant next year, though, so I'll get to offload it on other people instead. :P

I've read some of your new stuff...excellent, as usual. But you're right...different from 'back in the day' :) As for too much education, what was/is your major? I, too, am submitting myself to the joys of continued education, as a 'Conservation & Wildlife Management' major--different, I know--with hopes to minor in English. My creative butt was kicked into shape thanks to the english elective I took this semester; it was quite heavy on the writing, especially poetry & short stories (not sure if I really expected otherwise haha, considering it was called 'Creative Writing' ) so I'll be posting a lot of that once Im done tweaking it. Im currently writing my final short story for the course, in which I must 'become' Jack London and write in his style. That knocking sound you are hearing? Yea...that's my head pounding into my brick dorm wall.
