Author has written 96 stories for Love, Life, General, War, Sci-Fi, Spiritual, Horror, Song, General, Fantasy, Politics, Friendship, and Family. I'm Robert. I started writing poetry around Spring 2004, and pretty much everything since then I've uploaded here. I started out pretty embarrassingly, I'll admit, but I learned eventually. If you review, all I ask for is constructive criticism--If it's bad, tell me. Most of my stuff is pretty cynical, but there are a few upbeat ones in there, too... if you can find them. Recommended authors: specialallfornothing little blue world The Clarity Previously known as FallenJames, The Blessed Disease, and The Crow's Call. Strange how we change our names as we change... If it was that easy in real life, society would be much more organic. | |||||||
