Writing Updates:

Venomous Design: An experamental piece. What I have of it is currently being rewritten, and then possibly re-posted. The changes I had to make were too much to just leave be.

5/9/08- My focus was Venemous Design for a while, so I wasn't really writing any poetry. But I've started again, and I'm trying to regain my standing with it. My style is changing, as am I.
