My proposal

on:
April 28, 2007 »
I ask my friends...
If you like this proposal of my book please passes it on.
If you do not like it... tell me why... I'm working hard to take my writings to a new level to better my writing skills.
Thank You Carolyn Laxton/ lilbitcraze

"People say and do things that are not always the correct or proper way or even live the life of the ordinary person. “Who is the ordinary person?” I once read the story of” Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy”. Her story is amazing in it’s self of all she has had to endower over her lifetime, as well as my heroin Ms. Maya Angelou. These two women truly in their words keep me in good sprits when things around me seem to fall around myself. Still, do you ever live or ask yourself the question “Why Me?” This is my story. The story of a white girl’s life tainted and imbrued by parents with violence, sex, and drugs. That found a sense of direction, love and home by drug dealers in the black community. Drug dealers have such a bad rap in the media but they are people too. I have come across some real ruthless ones, however; the few I’ve come across have been a positive role model for me, taught me a lot, and has got me to where I’m at today. I’m grateful for those who touch my life with encouragement to be the best I can be. I often come in conflict with being the white girl image and being who I am. A white female raised by black males that happened to be drug dealers. So, the question “Who am I” is answered easily for me, I’m not a person of color nor do I fit the white girl image simply I am who I am “Carolyn”. All my trials, disappointments, horrors, and my travels across the country side are exposed in my book all very true and some cases horribly graphic."
Thank you Carolyn

I like your proposal. As I see this is autobiographic book and you write about your own life among black drug dealers and it’s not a fiction book. Right?

Carolyn, why you have chosen this topic to right a book about? I don’t read books about blacks, drugs and violence. These are bad things we observe in everyday life. I think a good book should entertain and somehow divert reader’s attention away from “real life negative”.

Carolyn, to tell the truth, you should work hard on your grammAr (not grammer) and spelling, while the idea is not bad

Who are you?
You are a white whore for that bunch of
"censored"
!
I'm not interested neither in
"censored"
nor in drugs, so you must probably seek
"censored"
as your reader. Of course, if they can read books.
I'd better read Shakespeare.
Did somebody read Othello? The situation with lilbitcraze is similar, I think.

I've read Othello, but I think it's not right to make such comparisons. Shakespeare is classic, written half a century ago and this proposal is just a story, there are thousands of such proposals. I'm sure it is unsuccessful.

Generally speaking, I agree with arther.
But I will add, as for me - it is not a writing, it's a piece of shit!

Time has changed. There is nothing on Earth that can make my teenage nephew read stories about classic love, feats, and marine adventures. He wants to read about gangs, mafia, killers etc.
Actually he doesn’t like to read much, he prefers online chat

I may agree with Arther but not with the way he puts it.
Posts containing racial offendings would not be tolerated on this board.
Arther - keep doing that and you will be banned.
I warned you:-(

Yeah, arther, your sayings were pretty rude.
You need to learn to express your thoughts without slang phrases and words.
For the particular word you can use Negro (but it is also less and less used word), black man or African-American

This is my real true story, yes. My parents where horrible. As a child, I was locked in a room with 3 other siblings, 5 gallon bucket w/toilet paper, no food or water for many hours at a time then left with babysitters that loved to stick a vacuum hose up my privates these are just a few stories. As an teenage, i was left to defend myself on the streets. I witness murder and many other things growing up. I've read many stories of women that have made it through very bad situations but not quite like mine. I have made it drug free, 4.0 GPA college nursing student, work fulltime, and fairly successful. I truly give my props to the couple of drug boys that showed me the ropes and defended me from my parents and the streets. I kinda liked having a adopted ghettofied Tony Soprano looking out for me. I know I have to improve my writing but the stories are the same. I am taking writing classes now to help. Some stories can show light to bad situations, inspirations that there is a way out, and a happy life is possible!!!!

Well, I don't want to be banned.
But, try to understand me. I live in Great Britain, London and there are a lot of such.. hm.. immigrants
Their behavior is often misunderstood by Englishmen, they came as illegal guests but think they are owners. Drugs, murdersm rape statistics increased. And they accuse us of being racists!
And the word which I've used is a normal word in my company.

Hahaha
What is a "peroid", can you explain?
I believe you that you have true story, but what? Such people with similar life style are trash. That's my opinion. And you don't reject my words.

Lilbitcraze, I think it's great what you are doing and what you are writing about. Your story shows that there is still hope, that in spite of the brutal environment and violance around, there is a chance for a better future. I think that belief in yourself and strong will to reach the goal are essential.
Your example displays that a person can be stronger than surrounding society.
My respect to you.

Arther, you have no right to judge people by the color of their skin. Evil knows no race, Jack the Ripper wasn't black. But love knows no race as well.

If you are fan of Martin Luther King then I understand your position in such issues. Where do you live? In America? Europe is different from US.
And by the way I don't consider Martin Luther King as great politician.

I grew up by detriot, michigan, but left and relocated to kosciusko, mississippi. All people are intitled to there opioion, but as far as calling someone trash is just wrong. No one has the right to judge but GOD. I didn't ask for what happened to me. I was born into that situation. My parents and the few white people in my life as a child degrated, abused, mistreated, and simply left me to defend myself at a very young age. The black folks around me not just the drug dealers were very kind to me. I can't change what happened.
