FEAR'S FURY
"I am not afraid…" she said as she took one more tentative step into the darkening house. The floor boards creaked and moaned as her mentally lightened step weighed down the aged timber.
She breathed the words again, "I am not afraid…"
Just the movement from the intake of labored breath caused the antiquated dust to shift in the gloom and the particles to glimmer in the dying light of late afternoon.
Thank you for the helpful words and encouragement
Thank you all so much for the feedback. It was constructive and helpful. I will try again soon. As I can’t write for the horror story, as it is only opened to American citizens, I might try it here. The feedback was so informative and helpful.
I rarely share my writing as I know I can’t spell and it is very embarrassing. But I am working on it as I do like to write and have hundreds of stories in my head!!
Thanks again Lillypilly
October assignment: What I Wished For
First time I've posted. I'm not afraid of the critics, hit me with THE TRUTH! I'd like to say I've just LOVED reading all the Oct submissions! You people have wonderful stories to tell! Sorry if this is shorter than you like. deoris@ivillage.com ----------
thanks for the feedback
Since this was my first writing experience at least outside my journal, I was glad to hear such construtive comments. I'm glad I left you wanting to read more and will brush up on my technique & grammar skills. I'm ready for the next exercise!!

My first-ever post-October writing exercise
Hi, my name's Jamie, and I've always written. Stuff, I mean, nothing published or anything... I've always felt that maybe I had something to say that might be worth hearing, but I tend to run out of steam before I figure out how to say it. So I'm trying, at last, to learn. I've read a few of the October exercises on the board and I'm a little intimidated, I have to say!
i want to write a book....
Ok, so I just became a member of iVillage about two days ago. I have always wanted to write a book (I read a lot of murder/mystery/dective novels) but I was never sure how to start or what to write about. I enjoy writing a lot, so i am going to try this out. Please give feedback.

Hi everyone. At the gentle urging of flasongbird I decided to pop in and have a look around. There are some extremely talented people here, and I'm afraid I may be out of my league. My writing is on a far more simple scale, so I'm afraid my little blurb to follow may make some of you wonder why I'm here. (I'm my own worst critic, LOL).
