Anybody know a good literary quote about werewolves? Been surfing the Net and so far have found only this one: βThe creature, wolf or man, became more real through the very specific which was to vanquish him.β β Leslie H. Whitten Jr., Moon of the Wolf
Anybody know a good literary quote about werewolves?
This another good thing you've brought up Pruf. Thanks for that reminder, it's great help!
Last year we did start including "quotes from authors" at the beginning of our chapters. This is another thing we can and will have fun doing!
I suggest, that if it is difficult to finds specific quotes about WEREWOLVES', then we could use quotes about wolves in general. (I'm thinkin' of a good one right now)
...OR...... I have no problem with quotes from werewolf or wolf flicks! π
Hey @woowoo001 ! Buddy, I think you were unavailable last year when this "Quote" thing came up. Miss Douyoulove selected a (fine) literary quote for your Chapter then! Bringing this to your attention this year, so you can choose your own. π Diobolic Dio has found a source of quotes above, should you like to check that out! Thank you diobolic !π
( edwardjohn , you can take note of this post too, since you weren't a writer last year and might not know about it. prufrock21 and Miss Doyoulove instituted this newer perk to the Story. π)
And I, speaking as Resident "Stan Lee type" here.... have no problem with you or anyone else choosing a quote from a movie, if you would like to! It doesn't have to be only a literary quote. π So "Larry Talbot it up" Grinnin' Man, if it so pleases thee to do so! π
BUT ....keep it one or two lines.π€¨
I don't want to see that "Whole Poetic Spiel from that old Gypsy Huzzy" quoted above your Chapter, Monkey Boy! π€¨
Yeah! I heard whut you were THINKIN'!π€¨
ππ
Speaking of the monkeys...where they at!? I wanna play chase! ππ

The quote could also reflect a general theme of the story as well. I'm going to find a quote that's very left-field, but still, weirdly, goes well with whatever the chapter is about.

The quote is unique to each writer and their particular chapter. π Each writer will have one for THEIR CHAPTER. You can find last year's story in the archives and check it out, kiddo. π
...just clarifying edwardjohn π

...just clarifying edwardjohn π .....and by the way edwardjohn , I clarify because last year one of my quotes was from Maurice Sendak's "Where The Wild Things Are", and the other was a quote from a D.H. Lawrence poem.
Neither had anything to do with Ghosts or Haunted Houses or "La Llorona". But they went okay with my particular chapters. π
So you go as left field and think outside the box as much as you want to, fitting to your chapter, kiddo! That is a big part of this awesome creative endeavor we're doing.π
Looking forward to everything you bring! π
(...and by the way, prufrock21 , I got to finally see that 2019 movie "La Llorona", and it was MUCH better than I thought it would be. I really liked it. I wanted to see it after our story last year. Got lucky and found it one day a couple of months later. π)

The Story (theme) is about a werewolf, or werewolves.
Review the "Goals List" on page 1. (we'll all get to talkin' on it.)
....and please remember from last year, this creative adventure is a bit 'mysterious'.
YOU have it within your power to be creative, and set the mood, setting, era.... etc....let your freaky deaky creative writing flag fly!
Starting Monday we will have some days for more discussion and you to confer with and ask questions of, your fellow writers. And get their input.
Right now? YOU got the reins, hon! Steer the beautiful beast! π

Thanks. That's an interesting read. I love the section about the old man that was accused of being a werewolf, admitted he was, but that he had been blessed with the ability God, and that he had descended to Hell several times to battle the demons of the Devil. How metal is that?
We could definitely make our werewolf the hero of the story.
