Ambitions of Lisa

Social networking sites - observation :D 

My first attempt at writing fiction/novel. Here is Chapter One. All comments and advice welcome. Not too confident about the opening chapter at the moment. 

Apologies for the morbid approach. 

I have the opportunity to apply for promotion at work, and my ambition is taking over. I feel the need to progress and I am hoping to make the most of this opportunity. 

My brother is 12 going on 25.... I sometimes think I don't know him at all.  

If any of you have read my piece 'Faceless Woman' or 'Faceless no more' you will know I found my birth family last year. I also discovered 6 brothers and sisters. My youngest sister and I have become so close over the last year, and as it is a year this week since I met her, I thought it might be nice to write a poem for her. Quite simple but meaningful.... I hope. 

Self explanatory ;) 

May offend...... 

The joys of office politics... :) 

Observations and imagination. Sorry its not too cheery :\ 

Just random inspiration.... 

I met my birth mother last week. I wrote a few words about it... just as an initial record of my feelings... but I'm sure there'll be more to come. Comments welcomed. 

Fantasy / Vampire / Erotica ..... *WARNING.. MAY OFFEND* Inspired in whitby after reading a gothic novel. 

A friend was killed in a motorbike accident last week. I felt the need to write something. I wanted it to be hard-hitting and to the point. I hope this comes across. 

A few little changes, not a re-write.... :) 

Lots of cliches, very simple and direct, but lots of honest emotions and feelings - sorry, but its straight from the heart this one. 

Feeling romantic.... not sure this works, but here goes... 

Inspired by a recent trip to Margarita Island, Venezuela. 

Inspired by a great friend who is coping with family pressures regarding marriage, tradition and culture. 

Simple, to the point and defiant against acts of terrorism following the London Bombings 7 July 2005. All comments welcome. 

The way I feel before a performance... not too sure about the vagueness of it. Please comment. 

Not sure where this came from, observations and an imagination I think. I'm unsure regarding the structure and the whole approach I took... so all comments welcome. 

Emotions regarding my adoption. All comments welcome.... 

Fictional poem about adultery. 

Dedicated to my grandfather, this is a poem about a child's innocence in relation to age and time. All comments welcome. 

A little piece on Whitby, North Yorkshire. 

This was inspired by a friend of mine, however I'm not too sure about the overall style of the poem, but welcome all comments. 

A simple poem about scuba diving in the Indian Ocean. 

This piece of writing describes my feelings about an adventure I had in India, when I chose to spend the night in a Jungle. 

This poem reflects the memories I have of India, and the various places and experiences I had during my time there. 

I am a traveller and an independent individual, not afraid to take risks in life to achieve my ambitions. A friend suggested I read 'Milksop Nation' by Jack Gordon the Economist / Shell Writing Prize 2002. This is what inspired me to compose 'A Gift of Honour'. Very emotive and powerful, it displays my defiance against terrorism and evil in the world.
