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.

6. Werewolf 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.

10. 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.

14. Lady from the Ocean reviews
Sort of a Freudian nightmare. Another story based on a dream, by far the better of the two. Please CC.

15. 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.

20. 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.

21. 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...
Fiction: Fantasy - Rated: K - English - Supernatural/Humor - Chapters: 1 - Words: 332 - Published: 1-16-08
22. Learning to Salsa
Another chunkoutoftime short, a form which I am leaning to these days. It's about loneliness and finding a friend in unexpected places.

23. Delta flight DL302, service to Atlanta reviews
A short about chance encounters and mutual, but impossible love. A chunk out of time. Let me know if the end is too melodramatic.

A bit of an odd one, with some old stuff mixed in. I went through a fog phase, as you'll tell reading my other stuff.

30. The Dance reviews
This doesn't work well as poetry or as prose, but I quite like it as both. It's also the closest I've come to actually describing what love feels like for me.

I don't know why it is called Nurse, it just needed a title. It's kind of a ghost story. Kind of. Please review.

This poem came off a character sheet I was completing for a Creative writing class. It had questions like, If your character were a car, what kind of car would heshe be? I ended up filling it out for myself and writing a poem about it.

51. My Best Friend's Eyes
Written about a good friend, but you can take it how you like. She has these deep eyes that seem to look into your soul, so I thought I'd write a silly poem about them.

I call this my Miss America poem, as it's a sort of 'If I could change the world...' piece. Definitely not my best work, but I'm hoping it can pull though, because it does have some good bits. Please review and help me out
Poetry: Life - Rated: K - English - Poetry - Chapters: 1 - Words: 127 - Published: 5-13-07
53. Immolation reviews
A writing experiment that I ended up liking. The streamofconscience style is a little weird and disorienting, but that's meant. It's about war, but you can take it however you like.

55. My Bluebird
I'm a miserable failure at writing happy poetry. It is my belief that happiness and love and the like are too pure to be described in words, but that's likely just an excuse. However, I do try sometimes, and this is one of those attempts.
