You need to edit and find other ways to express the actions going on. Right now, it sounds very stilted and repetitive. Keep working on it though! I'd like to see what you come up with! Have fun!"
Donald S replied: "MY DAILY ROUTINE IN BAGHDAD"
Looking to open an occult shop in Tucson around January. What would be good to see there? I want to know what items you use in your practice. Also, please list any category or title you feel fits you (example: neo-pagan which includes wicca, pagan, satanist, etc).
I ask this question because we all have a different perspective on the world and the way such things should be conducted. I know my way and my favored items, but there maybe something that I don't use that you would like to see. Also, we are all from different cultures and I tend to have somewhat of a western perspective, I don't wish to exclude any because of my own faults.
I'm not a fan of doing things half-assed. The idea of having pewter castings and plastic beads anywhere in my store just annoys me. I am not opening a shop for pretty souvenirs. I also believe that magic is a very personal thing and should be tailored to fit an individual by an individual rather than deciding that one symbol is the only good one.
I'd like to see people from all walks of life enjoy the merchandise, not just a particular crowd.
Some items that I already plan on stocking:
A large variety of herbs, I believe my order is somewhere over 100 to start with.
Pill casings, ointment bases, and witch hazel
Variety of bottles and jars for ointments, medicines, and other uses
Incenses
Essential Oils
Crystal bowels, plates, and goblets (like malachite, quartz, jasper, and etc.)
A few wooden bowels
Petrified wood
A medium to large assortment of gems and minerals (including some of the less mainstream ones like kyanite, celestite, and circle stone)
Beeswax sheets (in many colors)
Beeswax candles (in many colors)
Candles from animal fats (in many colors)
Parchment paper and homemade paper
India ink and maybe supplies for making your own inks
Leather
Leather bound books (both plain and crystal encrusted)
Just a few various sized daggers (wood, horn, or silver handled, some crystal encrusted)
Wood boxes of various woods with an assortment of different metal closures
Carving Tools
Leather working tools
One or two seals (wax stamps)
An assortment of jewelry (all silver, gold, and possibly a few other semi-precious metals)
There will also be some small artifacts like beads and figurines from different parts of the world.
I'd also like to include a small book section. These would be pretty much all trade related books and reference books. I do not wish to include anything like "the basics of wicca" or "book of shadows for beginners". I wish rather to focus on the crafting side of working with your own goods as well as the reference section on anatomy, gems and minerals, and herbs. I might add some books on older cultures if I find some good ones.
As a final note:
It may not happen in the first few months, but there will be a back room for invitation only that will store older and stronger items. Expect these things to be of a higher quality and of a higher price.

The REAL Zhen De Shou??? I'd like to know which among the many Zhen de Shou sold is the real one. I recently bought 3boxes w/c had the silver coin seal,Blue-Orange chinese charaters & the Blue flower seal...this was before i searched the net & found out people claiming that the original one is the Heart shape seal...then to make things more confusing,my boyfriend bought me another 3boxes,this time it had the Gold oval coin seal,Rainbor colored chinese characters,orange flower seal...
All three said boxes when opened contained the same pill contents in terms of color,the way it was positioned inside...
Help! I dont know w/c is the real one...
By the way,i'm currently on Day5 w/ the Zhen de Shou that i bought

Im 14,What do you think of my story,How can I improve it? She watched how the branches hung like whispers against the night sky as her feet padded noisely against the concrete as she walked
The street lights illuminated her casted shadow across the riverbank as she hung her head and concentrated on the pattern on her shoes.
This is bad, she thought.
She grasped the plastic bag tightly and inhaled deeply.
She sat down on the side of bridge and traced the concrete with her fingers,listening to the night owls whisper their calls.
Maybe, I could stop. Maybe, I could. She squinted into the lit darkness and saw two beautiful swans float across the water in sync,the moonlight reflecting of the dephs of the water.
Maybe.She sighed, her whole body shaking from the cold.
She took the boxes of paracetomal out of the bag and lined each box up infront of her in a perfect line. She smiled as she secretly congratulated herself on buying so many,especially as she was underage.She removed each set of tablets from its carboard packaging and put the tablets in her lap.
She tore one box up carefully at the seams and slowly began to fold it in different angles.Several moments later,her hands opened to show an orgami of a paper swan.
She held it up to the light to admire her work.
Moments later, another origami swan was made out of the cardboard
packaging.
An hour later, a family of origami swans sat peaceful next to her across the bridge,gazing out at the water with her. The darkness had set over her now,the moonlight was as bright as ever, contrasting with the streetlight.The dark sky was so beautiful,its darkness overthrew her.
The coldness seemed surreal,despite her thick jeans and top.
Her attention returned to the pills in her lap.
Thoughts ran through her head.
She had made her decision.
She put the paracetamol in her backpocket.
She took her swans and set them down carefully in the water and watched as they floated off into the distance.
'I can make something ugly,beautiful' she whispered.
She took the paracetamol from her back pocket and threw a pack into the river,the silver packaging being swallowed by the dephs.
She smiled.

Why didnt she throw all of them, I hear you ask?
Because recovery doesnt happen like a fairytale
Its one step at a time,
So even if you just throw one pill away,
or one tool which you use to hurt yourself,
its a fantastic start.
Sometimes you lapse
and it doesnt matter,
because its just a lapse
and not a relapse.
Rose replied: "Rule no. 1 - if you have to explain the story, then you've failed to get across the message and you need to rewrite until the story says ALL of your explanation.
The best stories are the ones that leave you thinking, OR bathed in emotion - the ones you remember.
I think you've got the start of something really good here. You've got a few spelling mistakes in there, a couple of grammar errors - try running your work through a spellchecker.
Her one line of dialogue is a little corny, IMO. This might be something she'd THINK but I doubt anyone but the most contrived or naive of characters would SAY something like that out loud. Is there another way for her to say this, without using those exact words? Perhaps something more colloquial.
Don't forget, your character doesn't have to say EVERYTHING she means. That's the wonder of words.
You have a lovely method of description, incidentally. Not too overstated and a pleasure to read, apart from those grammar mistakes!
One more thing...the origami swans are a good idea and they do sort of work, but I'd suggest popping in a bit more description of the process of making the swan, or maybe where she learned it - because it seems somewhat contrived as it is at the moment. It sends up warning flags...it's TOO perfect.
Have you considered posting these snippets on a writing forum or to a group? :P Might get more and better critiques. I am but a lonely would-be writer, and there are plenty of experienced authors out there who're willing to volunteer their time on forums :)"
Callum G replied: "not bad, you spelled depths wrong tho lol"
isabella replied: "I liked it, i wanted to know more and in my book thats the making of a good story (pardon the pun)"
Lisa G replied: "firstly and most importantly, well done!!, you are 14 and have been able to creat such a detailed an emotional piece of work. I totally felt whilst ready the story how the lady was feeling.
You didnt even have to add the extra commets to explain yourself, let the readers mind think and explore these open gaps that you have left. Your story was totally unique and you should be proud!
I am a training to be a counsellor right now and so much in your story has encouraged me to stay focus and help woman, just like the woman in your story.....well done, be proud x"

panic_girl replied: "nice."
How did that happen...?!? ...
I got a "top contributor" box
It seems to be quite "orange"
I don't know how it got there
From oft poetic sore binge?
Now rising to (k)new rhyming call
I'll bravely face some "silver"
Is this a dagger, I see before
With which to fain D liver
I wish I hadn't started this
Cause now I must do "purple"
My poor brain strangled, squeaks and squawks
My nurse says "D", take your-pill
TD and Todd, and all friends old
And also all friends new
This one's for each and every one
Thank you, thank you...Thank you
...

D!
I'll likely never get an OSCAR, so... (unrolls the speech...!)
Let's see; to each of the comments...
Hmmm...
Mommy: Tanx for that!
Annabella: C'est stupéfiant..! Merci beaucoup cheri...
Charna: Tanx a mill...
Dondi Muse(!): The "your-pill" was for "purple" but I reckon now that you mention it, I'll have to do a "purple"!
'laine P 'n Sher: Aww shucks, tanx
Neon: Nice one, LOL...
Jelly: Funny that. Never thought I be celebrating wearing Orange! Oh the irony!!! Am green to the core...
TD: Is is not in area 51?!
MommyMe replied: "you got a top contributor box because you answer a lot of questions in one particular area..congrats."
Annabella replied: "It's a miracle!
Congratulations...
The problem now is: how to get rid of it. You have to work really hard for that."
charna g replied: "That was great! I love someone who can write like you can. I enjoyed what I believe to be a bit of comic relief! I have been writing for 16 years and can't do it. Mine are usually dark. I loved reading that!"
Dondi replied: "Ah, yes, the orange box....
This was cute, now I eagerly await purple.
Roger Miller made up a new word for purple, he said maple surple...."
Elaine P replied: "It is always a pleasure to read your poetry, although most of the time it's a bit too esoteric for me. However, congratulations on joining the Top Contributor's Club. May you continue to contribute your wit and charm to brighten up our days. (And keep searching for those rhymes)."
neonman replied: "D
Congrats
you earned it
enjoy it now
the mark, a proud sign
of knowledge and wisdom,

Come join the ranks of the orange now,
for we are experts...superior.
"Least that's what we like everyone to believe!"
LOL Congrats. You earned it."
sher replied: "Congratulations, D!"
Jellyfish replied: "Irish good man orange does suit you but also green if you are so inclined. A poem worthy of a label......I hope your label never peels off."
