Hi There

I've posted all of what I've written so far at once, which was probably not the best idea, but I didn't want to get confused later on, which has been known to happen. If you want to read something of mine, I would request that your start with "Pulled Through" and give it a good critiquing before moving on to the rest, since "Pulled Though" was the only one I ever intended to post anyway. Whatever.

Here you will find almost everything I have ever written that qualifies as either decent or mediocre, in the hopes that someone will help me improve. I've left out the really nasty stuff, which leaves depressingly little, but no matter. It's mostly poetry, because that comes easily to me, but "Pulled Through" is really the important one. So feel free to comment or critique anything that looks like it needs it, I appreciate the time taken.

1. Old Loves, Old Lies reviews

Sadness and stress make us all do stupid things. The only question is whether to be the victim or the aggressor. Reminds me of werewolves. But then, so do I.

5. Young Artist reviews

I wrote this while watching a friend of mine work on a pastel drawing. It's sort of a comparison between our two arts. He works with color and pattern, and I with words, and each of us takes a colorless piece of paper and brings it to life.

10. Portrait

A story based on a nightmare a guy friend of mine had. I'm not so sure about the last two paragraphs. Originally, the story ended with the 3rd to last paragraph, but I realized that what happened in his dream was scarier, so I added it. Please CC.

15. Pulled Through » reviews

This is the reason I started a FictionPress account. I appreciate any and all comments and especially critiques. It's a story for a younger audience, maybe Middleschool aged. A girl gets pulled through to a different world, what she finds there.

16. The Mountain Queen

A very very short, which I wrote on a small mountain on an island in Venezuela. It was dusk, and a bit spooky, and this rather humorous character popped into my head, so I sat on a rock and wrote her. It makes me almost wonder if she was there...
