Author Topic: Marzipan Daily - Holy stuff, flying islands!  (Read 2282 times)

Marzipan Daily, a story I'm working on currently in Writing. Any crossing out or revision is posted.

Marzipan Daily

  Click click clack, I finished up part of my paper on the typewriter. Accursed things, no backspace unlike a computer. I picked up my coat and hat on the way out.
  I walked outside to be met with the cold chilly Marzipan air, as I put my brown leather trenchcoat on. I listened to the engines, ahuge fans keeping us in the air. Each blade half as long as a football field. Trying to find more iron is hard...
  I watched as an island drifted over the city. Some zeppelins flew overhead. I stared at the pagesplanes as they circled a zeppelin. Like honeybees defending a hive.
  "Hey, get movin'!" a man said. I continued walking home.
  When I opened the door all hell broke loose, my son banging a metal pot with a wooden spoon, and my daughter was turning up the TV while my son banged louder.
  "STOP!!" I yelled. I turned down the TV and confiscated the spoon and pot. I walked to the 1960's refridgerator, donning a chrome handle, and looked inside. I looked at all what was in the refridgerator.
  "Hmmm..." I adressed something.
  "Nah," I decided, instead reaching for a jar of jelly. I opened a cupboard(?) and grabbed some bread and a jar of peanut butter. I walked out of the kitchen with my sandwich when suddenly the somebody banged on the door. I set down my sandwich and walked to the door.
  "Who is it?" I asked through the door.
  "It's me, Chester!" announced a gruff voice. I nodded. I opened the door. Chester was your average easy-going man. He was wearing a grey coat, some old gloves, and a pair of jeans.
  "So, how are the kids?" he asked as he wiped his boots on the door mat.
  "Fine. But hecktic as ever," I said.
  "Hm," he nodded.
  "Want a sandwich?"
  "Eh-sure."
  "Ok." I replied as I made way towards the refridgerator.
  "So, how's it been at the Mines?" I asked, looking for the jelly.
  "Good, although the rock's ben pretty hard right now." He responded.
  "I have no idea how you like that job,"I said while making his sandwich.

More coming later (possibly) today!
Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

no but really, they dig in archaeological sites, not mine for minerals.

Nobody seems to have much opinion on it.

it's the creativity sub forum, it's always slow and is probably the least trafficked next to help

Homestar? Huh?
I have a couple pages in my notebook. I'm planning on writing a novel. But that'd be like forever.

You asked for a rating with only a few lines of your story written, so here's my opinion on it so far: 5/10

Not exactly sure why I don't like this. Other than the grammar mistakes, which I've learned to overlook, I am predicting this will be a flop. It's probably too early to assume that, but I'm fairly certain about this one. Please continue, I'd like to see where this goes.

Anytime anyone on the forum has ever said they were writing a novel they ended up scrapping it at one paragraph.

One paragraph is apparently equivalent to a novel to some of these uncreative idiots though. :cookieMonster:

Yeah I know about the novels. You don't count because you're a literature teacher or something. :P

I have a couple pages written up already, and I came up with this idea two years ago, and last year I started writing it but I had very little time for it.
