Author has written 19 stories for Life, Love, and Romance. News: Ok, so it's winter break! I'm hoping for some more time to get into writing. And at the very least get some new poetry going. I've gotten very into political poetry. Touching upon all aspects of politics, government, pop culture, etc. Things that in general get me angry about such a hypocritical US. I won't be posting any of it until I have a fair amount. The stuff that I do have written needs some polishing as well. I want to make sure I have made my point in my writing because it's such a touchy subject. This is me: I've been away from writing for so long. Had a bad run-in with a creative writing prof which blocked me for months. I'm finally just getting behind the computer and things are coming out. Not everything is very good, but hey that's the process right? I'm trying to get back into writing as much as possible. My stories are so old, I'm not sure if I'm interested in where they could go. I think there are more revolutionary topics at hand that would be far more important. There seems to be no awareness in this country. The government in general makes me angry. I'm just going to fan those flames and see what comes out. Hopefully some good poetry. Story Front: Not really liking where my stories are going. Maybe I'll post that first chapter I promised about a million years ago soon. Still needs editing : ( Current Loves Hobbies: Winter Break! Music: The Doors. They were never afraid to say something controversial. TV Show: Skins. Why didn't I start watching it sooner?! Book: Really want to read The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley. He's starting to grow on me more and more. Books I'm dying to read again: Phantom by Susan Kay. Books that are not finished: Love in the Time of Cholera, The American, Wuthering Heights, The Vampire Lestat, 7th book of the Earth's Child series, The Namesake, Pentimento and various Jane Austen novels.
