Author has written 29 stories for Song, General, Friendship, General, Sci-Fi, and Life. I'm just now picking up on my original works again... most of the stuff archived here is from 2002 and 2003, a most embarrassing period for my writing. I'm not deleting anything, but bear in mind the age of those pieces. My story summaries will have a hyphenated section that indicates the title of which of my series each one-shot comes from; for instance, the most common one you'll see here will be -DLL- which indicates that the one-shots are part of the Dreams Like Lightning continuum. I may clarify these series later once I assemble better summaries of them. I write, I sing, I draw. I'll be your scop on this journey, ladles and jellyspoons, so keep your handbags and satchels on your person and watch your step. This is me: Growing restless every minute. Here's where I'll begin to introduce you to the DLL kids. Sure, you're getting introduced to them in the text, but there are things that are a bit too clunky and I don't suppose you guys are up for reading it as it's slowly revealed. First item on the agenda, however, is the introduction of Kent and Mark. The best I can do for you with this is redirect you to their art: Concept designs. A day in the life. | |||||||
