ART:
Being an Art Major, I finally caved and got myself a deviantArt account. It's kind of empty right now, having just a mix of doodles, fan art, and school work, but I am fairly good when I try, so feel free to visit!: MY ART

FICTIONPRESS:

They updated, they updated, w00t! I can end myself self-imposed ban on the site now!

WRITING:
I habitually bite off more than I can chew. I want to do impressive things, but I want to do them now. So I post immediately and write chapters in numerical order—bad me, bad. What can I say? That's my flaw. At least I know what it is. So to fix it, I'm going through this fiction writing class right now (consider it...therapy for my inner writer) where I'm learning to break bad habits, develop a good creative process, and improve myself overall. We'll see what happens. I am doing good work in the class, or so says my prof, so I must be doing some things right.

In tandem with this, I'm doing an experimental vow right now, where I won't post anything unless at least a rough draft of the whole thing is done first. Even mega-multiple chapter stuff...like The Oracle of Yet to Be, which I'm still vowing to finish...someday. Grr. So...when I post here again, you can be guaranteed that everything I start will finish in a timely manner. There's just going to be big breaks between pieces.

1. A Desperate Resolution
My friend my nightmare vanished a year ago. She's presumed dead; at night I sleep in a dead girl's bed. I have two options: get over her or go mad. —This was my 2008 new year's resolution. "Write more" felt too shallow, when I had her on my mind.

As the soul of a candle would twine round the smothered flame, so too the gray column of stone rose, adrift in death. Ashes fell into darkness, never to rise. Never again a child's laugh, its breath, its despair as it curled into the cold embrace.
