I have been writing myself since I was 12 and I have a degree in English and a good deal of experience editing for myself and helping friends at uni with editing and not just in editing English material, I can work with many different types of texts.

Take away from me, my freedom right Darkening the hope of light Emptiness consumes though in a crowd And whispers so silent can scream aloud. Can deafen me with unnerving force Knocks a life from its fated course To somewhere new, that dont belong The air broken by a dreaded song With words that only i can hear Filled with contempt, and tinged with fear How hope and joy, its feels depleted Knowing i may be defeated, By the very thing that gives me life. A mind so struck in pain and strife. But alas i will not let in win For tomorrows new day it will begin And recommence this daily plight Where myself and I proceed to fight But one day, before times hath ceased From this cage, il be released I will destroy it, It will be defeated Will return to its cave where it once retreated. But that time it, it will not return Not then, will all the things il learn And with its death will bring new birth The dawning of a different Earth A different world, a different me How in that day, I will be free truddles on "Creative Section" http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/creative-section#post-40650 Sat, 24 Apr 2010 17:19:55 +0000 truddles 40650@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ Hi Tess, Sorry for the delay but welcome to the forum.

But a while ago we were told that a FAQ and guide on how to use this site was being done, especially as it has many excellent features that other sites don't have. This is now more important than ever now you are adding such things as the creative section. There also needs to be somewhere permanent on the forum pages that everyone can see not only directing you to the creative section, but also explaining what it is. Not many people use the pale blue bars at the top of the page and if they do 'Creative community' is a bit cold and ambiguous and doesn't explain what it actually is. It doesn't draw people to the section. Many excellent names which gave an idea of the function of the section where put forward by members and I thought that as it's our site we'd have had an opportunity to say which name we preferred. Sorry to interfere but in order for it to be used by everyone it needs to stand out when people go to either the forum or home pages where the latest forum discussions are listed as that's where most people go.

We are aiming to go live with the page by the end of this week. At first the page will be fairly basic and let people ( as long as they are registered on the website ) to upload text. Over time we will be able to let people load up images, video etc... All the text needs to be approved before it is published and we are looking for a volunteer to act as editor. If anybody is interested please let me know. We need somebody who is fairly computer literate, has internet access and can give some time each day to check submissions. If anybody is interested - please let me know Thanks Joel rena on "Creative Section" http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/creative-section#post-40044 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 04:02:22 +0000 rena 40044@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ This sounds like a great idea as there are so many on the forum who are very talented and creative. Here are just a few suggestions for a title for the page: Creative Moments In Time Our Creative Moments Creativity and Arts Our Creative Side Creative Minds Joel on "Creative Section" http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/creative-section#post-40037 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 11:50:49 +0000 Joel 40037@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ Hello all We would like to set up a new "creative" section on this website where people can submit their own creative writing whether it is poetry or prose (possibly even art). The page will be open to all and we will make it easy to navigate by categorising posts into various sections. We will also be able to have continuous submissions from an author rather like chapters in a book or a blog. So here are some questions... 1) Do you think that this is a good idea? 2) What shall we call the page (it is important that the name helps people not to confuse it with "personal stories" which are more about life with OCD and are there to help people understand the disorder) 3) Any ideas on how we can make this better Thanks Joel
