Okay, so it's been a long time.

This past semester I took Creative Writing: Fiction, where I wrote the three pieces The Year Johnny Carson Went off the Air, Eight O'Clock at the Oasis, and She Hears Shapes and Smells Colors. I'm in love with these works because I spent a lot of time on them, getting feedback from classmates and my professor, as well as my parents. Out of everything I've ever written, these are what I'm the most proud of. I hope that the readers will appreciate that, and give me constructive advice to help improve them in anyway.

I'm not sure when I'll write again, because I've mostly been drabbling in non-fiction or Harry Potter, over at my fanfiction.net account under the same name of ponderer. Hope everyone had a good 2007!

You’d let him ramble on, nodding in the correct silences, and always smile when he’s finished. In all honesty, you usually have no idea what he’s talking about, but he didn’t need to know that.
