  • Backpacking Europe for the first time. Have questions!?

    Planning a trip for 2 from Houston to Amsterdam. Might be leaving June and staying for 3 weeks. It s me and my sister. We want to save roughly around $4,000. Would that be enough for the both of us? We want to stay in hostel. And probably take the trains. We are for sure wanting to visit Amsterdam, Paris, London. Maybe Switzerland after those near cities. Any tips?

  • Writers: What do you think?

    How am i doing so far?

    I know i need help on my present and past tense. Please point them out if you want to. I don't know if i should make it past or present.

    Oh and A little info. on the story: It's the end of the world. And its going to be about zombies :)

    Have a better idea? You can say/write if you want.

    The sky was filled with bright stars blinking like far away light bulbs. The harsh wind burned my skin and made me tremble uncontrollably. Tears made the moonlit night look like a melted portrait as they slowly rolled down my cheek before falling to the ground like crystals.

    The cold wind should be killing me right now, but I don’t feel it. All I feel is numbness and a slow beat of my heart pumping. I’m surprised my heart is still going on with out them. The soft beats, pump… pump… pump, flickered just a certain amount of emotion that made tears keep flowing non-stop.

    My mom’s face flashed in my memory. Her face was mixed into a concern expression. I could see she was fighting tears from falling from her knowing dark brown eyes. Her smile though, never falter.

    She always appears in moments like this. Moments where I just wanted to give up, close my eyes and rest, but I think mom knew. Knew, that if I closed my eyes, I will not open them the next day. So she appeared every night always smiling at me as if she knew something I didn’t.

    I thought, when I first saw her, maybe she wanted to tell me something. Mom always had a mountain crease on the middle of her eyebrows when she wanted to warn me about something, but she kept quiet. I did not worry much about it either. I was just happy to be able to speak to her at night. I told her everything. From the beginning of my day till the end.

    Tonight, I told her about my hunt. I caught two cute healthy bunnies, there was three, but the third one ended up not being to healthy to eat. The third bunny did help, however, clean my weapons. His fat kept my weapons from rusting, his white skin once I washed it helped keep my feet warm threw long winters like tonight. I didn’t use his bones though, I had enough weapons already.

    The two bunnies, were delicious. I was lucky to have found two. Now a days it was hard to hunt for animals, if you killed one you were lucky. Animals have grown smart, they know they are being hunted. Since, they are the only resource of food you will find now. Any sound I made, and they will hide, meaning I would have to wait till the next day to hunt again.

    In other word I had a feast. I ate all the meat, nothing wasted. And I haven’t had anything to eat in days so it was great to eat like a queen. I roasted them in the bonfire I made inside a house I found empty. The shelter I was staying for some rest. I made sure they were well cooked, I wouldn’t want to die of a normal diseases. Oh, I also boiled some snow that was left from the other night and drank two cups of water.

    After that I took a ‘sponge bath’, which is a shower that required a soaked rag that semi-rinsed my body and made it as clean as it could. I felt fresh, I needed that shower. Maybe when the winter was over or if I found some Traders, I would be able to change soon from this dirty clothes I wore. But for now it was all I had.

    I would end feeling say and the tears would appear and the self-pity thoughts would creep up. That’s when I decided to call the day quits and tell my mom the ended of my day, rating it 1-10, and tell her goodnight.

    “I rate today an 9.5” I whispered. I was about to say goodnight. I was cozy on the corner of a bedroom I had chosen to stay. My heart was slowing every second, and my tears had stopped by now. My surroundings were quiet for a while. My eyelids heavily hung above my eyeballs and when they came shut. That’s when I heard a stick being broken by pressure.

  • Writers: How would/could you describe Agony? (a lil long)?

    I have an image in my head. A girl laying down on her bed, outside the sun is cover with gray clouds so her room is lit with dim grayish/blueish light giving the atmosphere a dull mood/look. The girl lays on her bed with out moving a muscle, she is like frozen while tears hang on the tip of her nose and land on her heart shape pillow. To others it may look like she might have passed away but inside her head is another story. All kinds of destruction is happing inside of her that is shocking that she can keep those loud acid sobs caught in her throat. Her inside feel like they are burning and she cant do anything about it. (You know how sometimes you cry like you have never cried before that it hurts to breath, thats how she is feeling.) She feels this deep agony in her chest, like she has lost something very dear to her but now knows that she would never get it back and she has to live, suffer with that all her life. Wanting more then to get it back she is positive that she cant. there is no chance for that, she lost it all. So now she lays there and cries and feels so much remorse and so much pain.

    ~Anyways that's what i see in my mind but it's really hard to put it on words. How would you start it of? How would i describe the deep pain she feels? How everything inside of her hurts? How she knows she is never getting him/that something she lost back?

    Oh and it would be awesome if you could give me an example of how you would started off. I wont take your idea/writing. I just want to see how i could start. If i end up writing like a whole novel then i will give you credit but this is just an image i have stuck in my head.

    So thank you if you help

  • Writers: What needs to be improved?

    I wrote this short chapter (not done yet) but i just wanted to ask how bad/good i'm doing. I'm not the greatest writer i know but i like to learn from my errors. So could you tell me how i'm doing. What i need to work on?

    She sat there staring at me, probably waiting for the tears to come but there was none. I was not about to give her the satisfaction of seeing me crumble down into tiny pieces right in front of her. But the anger I felt flowed trough my veins and I wondered why flames weren't actually coming out of my ears like you see on those silly cartoons I use to watch. Because what I felt like doing just now was brake down into non-stop tears. I wanted to turn into a fast rolling tornado and torture the house into nothing. Leave it unrecognizable but I kept my cool as long as possible. It was only a matter of time I knew but I was proud I was able to keep it for about three minutes. I could have gone longer if it wasn't for my mother.

    My mother, the one person who knew me so well had the decency to actually smile! She looked relived that I hadn't exploded on her face.

    “Oh darling, thank god you are taking this well. I thought you were going to tear the house down the second the news hit the floor” her smile was wide and full of gratitude I hadn't damaged the house. For a second I felt bad for thinking of wrecking the house but that was gone as fast as it had come. She was happy while I was dying, I couldn't let her be happy.

    “Mother, you think you have seen me angry before” I say very hostile and I am happy when I see her face fall. She realized she had spoke to soon and awaits for what is coming next. “But you have never seen me this infuriated, darling.” I spit the word at her. “How could you do this to me! Why me for all that is mighty mother! Couldn't you just, I don’t know, try not to ruin my life for God sakes” I would have said more but I was interrupted.

    “Oh now, now, Veronica Green there is no reason to bring God into this conversation young lady. I swear if you mention him again I will as hell ruin your life more then you can possibly think. Do not test me girl” mom looked at me with those fierce green eyes. I knew I had hit a point of no return but I had been so angry I had not chosen my battle word correctly. I can say anything I wanted to my mother, anything. She was all for words can set the soul free and keep it from darkening but if I dare bring cusswords or god into the argument she will shut me off completely.

    She was actually being generous right now. like I said before she was all into that stuff about the soul being cleansed after you’ve said everything that is in your mind. She wanted for me to spill everything but the worlds I had in mind wouldn't suit well with her.

    “Cant eve speak to you right now Mother. I’m going to my room and never coming down for your information” I crossed my arms across my chest and pout my lips at her. I know I was acting a little kid but it was all I could do for right now.

    “Don’t be silly Veronica, you’ll have to come down for dinner” She rolled her eyes and got up from the chair i forgotten we were sitting on. Mother had sat me down on the kitchen table to drop the horrible knew out to me.

    “No I am not! For now on I will be in a no eating strike. I wont eat until you tell me we are not moving” and with the final words I stood up, with a loud scratch the chair made as it slid against the tile floor, and made my departure as fast as possible.

    I climbed the stairs up to my room and to make it very clear I did not want to be interrupted, I slammed the door shut as loud as I could.

  • How can this be more descriptive?

    "The piercing scream rang loud somewhere in the distance waking me from my dreamless sleep. At first I thought the sounds were coming from outside, I was still to startled and sleepy to realize that the scream were coming from two rooms from mine".

    I know this could sound much better and that's why I want to see other options.

    And could you give me some helpful tips that could help me be more descriptive?

    I really need help on that field.
