Author has written 12 stories for General, General, Religion, and Life.

First things first - you review me, I review you. I review you, well, because I want to, no obligation. ;) (Not that I wouldn't appreciate it, of course!)

Gender: Male
Age: Old enough to know posting his age on the Interwebs isn't advisable.
Location: Earth

I'm a burgeoning poet, don't particularly think my stuff is "All that", but am still willing to let the Internet meritocracy decide that for me.

I prefer to write fiction. I also tend to have life get in the way, making me an infrequent updater.

I study Spanish, Russian, and Japanese in my free time. I am a fan of literature from all ages, have some strong (even stubborn) opinions, and love philosophy.

Some of my favorite writers at the moment are:

Fyodor Dostoevskiy
Saint Augustine
T. S. Eliot
J. D. Salinger
Ray Bradbury
Gabriel García Márquez
J. K. Rowling
Hiromu Arakawa
C. S. Lewis
Bradley Hathaway
Brennan Manning
Douglas Adams
Loren Eisley

...and more!


1. Honesty reviews
Story about a guy who is very, very insecure.
Fiction: General - Rated: T - English - Romance - Chapters: 1 - Words: 1,344 - Reviews: 1 - Published: 3-14-09 - Complete
2. Vainglorious reviews
Made up on a whim. Semi-biographical free verse. Probably more cathartic than anything else.
Poetry: Life - Rated: T - English - Angst - Chapters: 1 - Words: 659 - Reviews: 3 - Published: 8-27-08 - Complete
3. Blush » reviews
I promise you a tale of intrigue and desire, battles of wit and wills, emotional and psychological expostulation, social commentary, and philosophical development. Or, if not all that, a story about a cold-minded boy and his disdain for the fairer sex.

4. Heavy Handed reviews
Me and my religious-inspired poetry, eh? Well, I write what I know. Thematically, this may be considered repetitive in terms of other pieces I've written; but I believe it differs in tone, and logic, enough to warrant posting. Let the meritocracy decide!
Poetry: Religion - Rated: K+ - English - Spiritual - Chapters: 1 - Words: 115 - Reviews: 5 - Published: 7-30-08 - Complete
5. Description, Ad Referendum reviews
I was thinking, so I wrote it down. I think it's a fairly interesting and fun way of looking at... writing, in a sense. Or if not fun, very interesting. Also: 'Ad referendum' means 'For reference.'

6. The Prayer of Manasseh reviews
I have been working on this for a month, and will keep doing so. The last work I had in mind to make that was partially inspired by Eliot's style. Long poem; input infinitely welcomed.
Poetry: General - Rated: K+ - English - Spiritual - Chapters: 1 - Words: 1,197 - Reviews: 3 - Published: 7-7-08
7. Annoyingly Emo in Both Conceit and Execution reviews
Prose, but arranged in stanzas and lines for effect. Written in ten minutes; Facebook is to blame. Working title, first draft.
Poetry: Life - Rated: K+ - English - Angst/Poetry - Chapters: 1 - Words: 321 - Reviews: 8 - Published: 7-1-08
8. More of the Same reviews
Funnily enough, that was the original title, a whole month ago. P But it fits: inspired by Wikipedia and a random reading of Eliot, which almost convinced me Macaronic was cool. Philosophical.

9. I como S reviews
El título refiere la forma escribo las letras. Escribió el entero en cinco minutos sobre una hoja de papel de ordenador. Díme que Vds. piensan, por favor.

10. KnockKnock reviews
So much I want to explain about this, but I'm keeping my mouth shut. Suffice it to say there's a lot I hate about this poem, but it's honest, and that, to me, makes it post-worthy. What do you think?
Poetry: Religion - Rated: T - English - Spiritual/Angst - Chapters: 1 - Words: 730 - Reviews: 6 - Published: 6-23-08 - Complete
11. The Rabbi and Sarai Take 1 reviews
Complete story. Third or fourth draft, so while it's finished, it needs serious fine-tuning. Let me know what you think.
Fiction: General - Rated: T - English - Spiritual - Chapters: 1 - Words: 4,665 - Reviews: 2 - Published: 6-23-08
12. 12:19 AM reviews
Late-night musings on mistake-making. Note: I don't know why the first line of the poem appears before the title and then again after. It isn't like that on Word, so please just ignore it.
