i want to be able to write in pentameter instead of free-style, but i dont know what a stressed syllable is, ( I was reading a messg u sent to somebody else) Is there an easy way to know how to tell whether the syllable is stressed or "had an accent?"

ummm.....for my past two posts, "Peace" and "What the Future Holds" it says that i wrote it in some thousand minutes, when in reality, it only took me like forty minutes (revising and all) oh, and how do you itiazise? I've seen you do it and others do it in their writing, but I dont know how to. Thanks! (I copy and paste, and it still doesnt work)

hello, im pretty new to this website, and i have a question for you, is all the work i post here on fifteenminutesoffiction protected? Will anybody be able to get away with stealing the posts i post on here, i have several poems i would like to write, but I'm afraid whether they would be plagarized.
Is there some sort of copyright for this website?
Thanks

Thanks for the input. I wasn’t really satisfied with that line either, but didn’t have the time yesterday to do much with it. Do you like this version better?

Hey Doug,

Thanks for reading my story and allowing it to go public. (No problem about the delay, btw. I expected it, with the holiday and all.) Will it be eligible for the gallery, or is it too late? I understand if it is.

And who can not love Odd Thomas? And don't worry, I'll do my best with my story :)

Have a great new year.

Steve

Ha! That was a good prompt. Actually I owe a wink and a nod to Jess Winfield for his book "My Name is Will"which I read a while back and was mightily impressed by.

I'm in third year French, and The Little Prince was an acquirement. I'm so glad we read it; I went out and immediately bought an English copy about half way through the French version.
And I think it's sad that more people of my generation haven't heard of this book- so as a result, I gifted a couple copies for Christmas this year.

I wrote something for this week prompt . I am done with it but I am debating on one line.
" Some people need some help getting started inventing pieces of writing." Will it be ok if I add to the end like the fifteen minutes of fiction website so it would look like this. " Some people need some help getting started inventing pieces of writing like the fifteen minutes of fiction website . Should I keep it as it is or should change that line?
thanks

Thanks. Glad you liked the leprechauns. I wasn't even sure how they were going to wind up in that desert until I wrote Flynn's line.

Thanks for the comments, glad you like the rhymes. It's too bad I cant' post pictures here because an illustrator friend of mine did pictures for each one of my fairy poems.

I have a question about the The Mountain Peak promt . Does it have to follow the promt guidelines all the way? I was planing to write about a mountain peak like passing a class after a long term.

About the P prompt and my Paw Paw Tree poem....
Is the 'breast heavy' bit OK for this site, or shall I think up an alternative?
