Witness The Guru
1 marker for this chapter

I am presently an Engineering student at the University of Western Ontario. Engineering students are generally known for their poor writing skills. I hope to break the mould though.
I am addicted to reading. Or I used to be. If I knew there was an unread book in the house I would hunt it down and read it before I could go on with my life. I am getting better now though. I have had a book in my house for 24 hours from one of my favourite authors, and I haven't even touched it yet.
I need more work on my writing though. I often find myself at a loss for words or having trouble describing something. I like to be very precise and use all my words properly. I figure that remembering the words as I write will only become easier with practice, so that's why I am here. I think that being able to write better will help me wherever I go in life, and especially in university when I have so little time to do homework and projects.
I would love criticism on any of my work, and any editing comments like spelling, grammar and punctuation are welcome too.
My stories as they stand right now:
Blue Water: Mostly written, I think I can wrap it up nicely and quickly if I tried. It might be the first one I manage to finish.
Brown House on the Hill by the Forest: Not really happy with this one, I think I've lost my main character.... I might go back in a couple of years and re-write it
The Fairy Tale: I have written a long-winded continuation of this story, but I think I need to write a shorter one. I meant for this story to be short and sweet, and I still have a chance to go that.
NEW story: Emma&Jon: well, I'm working on it. I have lots of good ideas. I think I'll try to write most of it before posting it here though.
Poetry: Just a collection of poems that I've written. I have no idea how good or bad they are, since I find it had to read poetry.
There are also a few short stories... I like short stories, because they are short.
Collabs:
I'm part of a Sherlock Holmes collab right now, called Cooper St Murder. Its really fun!
"All I saw at first was the vision of the room. Then, the rest seemed to follow from it naturally. I've been thinking about this subject a lot recently, so I'm not surprised that something like this popped into my head."
Sorry, there are no top rated works this week!
"Sometimes you think this will never happen to you, that this only happens to other people. Thats what I thought too, until one day I found out that someone I knew had an experience like this. This might not be very accurate, or even very clear, but we all need to know that these people could live in our neighbourhoods, be amongst our friends. It never hurts to be too careful, and to always have your childrens' trust. (No real names used here, as always.)"
"A crime has occurred in the Eighth County Bank of Chesterville and it's up to Detectives Oldetower and MacDoozle to crack the case. But will any of the witnesses be of any use to them?
No."
"Inspired by a house I saw once, this story just started forming itself in my head."
