its time to start look at the world from an artistic, not statistic, point of view

How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met.

"Americans have different ways of saying things. They say "elevator", we say "lift" ... they say "President", we say "stupid psychopathic git."

"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country."

This is a good one!

on the american dream-

lets paint the fences
lets lucid dream

"I believe in the good ol` form of Texas Justice."

-President Bush
In his redneck stage.

Twenty pounds of elephant
You can't paint it clean with your hands

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry said on Thursday that he was not referring to all Republicans as "crooked" in an off-the-cuff comment captured on camera -- just the party's "attack dogs."

jonna-

is that part of something? it sounds good i dont know why, im just really liking that! you should expand on it

ok heres something im working on, anyone, feel free to add on and keep going. like collaborative fiction but one-line style:

As I tiptoed through fields of sleeping giants, the daffodils were swaying in the breeze until the wind went dry and the shadows spilled over and creeped over the horizon....

(anyone? continue?)

"I am not a crook." -Richard Nixon

Envy drove him to the cliff and jealousy pushed him over.

The images in the rearview mirror were his past and he knew his future lay in the head lights.

agent- if you read a story i wrote (its somewhere ont he board) called Definition of a Dreamer" it talks about this girl named Anna and how some guy gives her money for some piece she did.

thats actually me (but my name isnt anna of course) and on one of the pieces i gave him i wrote something about the record coolection...thats one liner you posted a hwile back, i couldnt remember it exactly so i modified it a little, but it got me 5 bucks!!!

kick ash huh???

i totally wrote "agent" on there

hahahha

That is great Im glad I could help the artistic process.

"Life is like a box of chocolates...I don't know how, but it just is."

Oh yeah that reminds me, I better finish my short story.

heck yeah its good to help in the artistic process!

ok heres a 60 second novel......starting...NOW!

the real reason i smoke

we sat in her room, dark, misty, smokey.

she was the most beautiful thing i had ever seen.

20 minutes later...no 10...no 2....no.....yeah 2 minutes later......

mad love. passion. there was blood and sweat and tears all shaken up to create the most diffusing dissary of delerious decomposition....in the most dauntingly exhilerating light. we loved. we screamed. we loved. mad.crazy.wild.beautiful.passionate.beaty.passion.passion.passion.then just-
END

that is truley amazing! Good job man!

Jim

hahaha dont know who youre talking to but ill pretend its me to boost my confidence...
thanks!

yous hould do it, its easy. get an idea in your head....well, a title, type it it, then give yourself one minute and write as much as you can....hence, a 60 second novel.

editing is fine, but just no adding in big things. spelling, grammar, punctuation, all can be added in after the 60 seconds are up (artistic before statistic)

so there you go! i hope so see more people taking a swing at 60 second novels!

*these are great for street corners, ya know all the people that draw charicatures?? SCREW THEM! standing on the corner writing 60 second novels for people and is so much more fun!

Yeah that was for you...I'm going to try that! But I better get my Short Story done first.
