Bugmen are watching me masticate.

I was so gay, and I couldn’t tell anyone.

the first line of your work should be one of the last things you decide on when writing.

Most things I've written have made major transformations in tone or content or setting, and pretty much every early draft I have seems like it's outlining an entirely different story

"If I wasn't strong enough to handle it, God wouldn't have given it to me."

I buried my hamster today.

Revolver is the seventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 5 August 1966 but most importantly it was also the weapon I was holding

The fact that so many gun publications still name the revolver as "the greatest or most influential" handgun ever only tells you how far gun ownership still is from becoming a serious hobby.

Only one of mom's pancakes remained; two, if you counted the one the golden retriever ate. "Holy... I want more" said God, with a heavenly CRASH!

>I despise those who think they ought to lead and pity the fools who believe they need the same recycled actors to follow.

>My dad told me that he liked mice but he didn't like damned dirty freeloaders and that was why June ate my secret pet.

>For once he was certain that he would fail and he felt fine enough about that but he really wanted to fail the right way because something she shared (that sort of sauce we soak ourselves in) seemed special.

It's part of a nine part poem with a 876545678 syllable pattern. Each line in the main poem has its own poem, with the number of lines being the word count and the word length being the number of syllables in that line. After this stage I plan to expand farther on.

>>11269539
And with the syllable amount being the number of letters in the word*

The cold metal grip secured his tactile insecurities, while the smooth spherical barrel secured the man opposite, frozen in place, he watched the man’s fearful eyes focus on the weapon.

It's an ironclad meme because when people like you get buttblasted, you can just keep posting Shrek

This is the protag's first line. Person 2 responds thinking that it's a bad mindset to have and "no one should have to go through what [protag] did", should reach out for help with money and mental state. The main antagonist is the obstinance of the protag (or a state of complacency depending on whether or not you agree with protag's internal monologue). Not sure whether it's a better story for him to ultimately fail due to his stubbornness or to end up becoming complacent at a good enough position.

Hoenn is a harsh region.

The taxi’s radio was tuned to a classical FM broadcast. Janacek’s Sinfonietta—probably not the ideal music to hear in a taxi caught in traffic.

105 word sentence. Check this out.
Harsh, misshaped roads of dry dirt and dusty gravel tread paths across an old land where lush green fields lay marred by countless hills, some small and wide, others steep and tall, and each cloaked aplenty by sprawling forests of elderly and utmost towering firs and pines, and other growths rustling in the wind and rain, harboring thick foliage which shrouds rich soil that bears cold and heavy boulders, some so old and so finely clad in vibrant moss so as to seem like just another odd hill laid about, counting the passing of millennia and more since the creation of the very world itself.

Here's a couple ones that should make sense, even without context:


'If one were to rank the smartest aliens in the universe, the Zoobadoo would be the last on that list.'

'Glad the glade glistens, wimpling waving light through the leaves, the Japanese say ‘komorebi’, but I lacked breath to speak.'

'Love happens in a heartbeat, its fugacious rhythm oscillating between the world of the now and the world of just a moment ago.'


'Since the beginning not one unusual thing has ever happened; the apple has always fallen off the tree, the lady has always been courted for her beauty, and the man longed for his power…'


And this one's technically two lines, but it's currently my favourite.

'Who suffers most when you are in a coma? Your family & friends, or you? Depends on who you ask, I guess, and whether you were alive or not at the time you were declared dead.'

"The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."

So Grimes was shitting into my mouth and some Ryan Gosling impersonator was eating out her ass when I suddenly came to the realization that the Alex Jones-vaporwave & lo-fi beats playlist I had on wasn't using ad block so now we were all listening to some broad rambling about her stomach cramps and it was at this moment under these circumstances that I asked myself probably aloud due to the coked out haze I was in: Johnny, what the fuck are you doing with your life?
