News and Announcements (last 5 items.)

10/03/09 - Just stopping by to remind myself this site still exists and update my profile a bit. (Updated: Currently Reading, Currently Watching, Currently Listening, Currently Playing)

04/11/09 - Cleaning house some... removing old alerts and favorites that don't exist anymore. Soon, I will also probably be removing my own stories and maybe even changing my pen-name as I gear up for something new... Maybe... (Updated: Currently Watching, Currently Playing)

2/28/09 - I'm still alive! But still not really here. :( Just stopping by to log in and see what's going on with the site, and do some profile updates, though who will ever see them I have no idea... (Updated: Currently Reading, Currently Playing, Currently Listening, Currently Watching)

9/13/08 - Again, not much new to report. Between a promotion at work (resulting in a schedule change) and school, writing is still quite a bit on the back burner of life. Maybe I'll get to change that soon, but I honestly don't know - I barely have time to R&R other people at this point. (Updated: Currently Reading, Currently Playing)

8/21/08 - Not much new to report. I do have a good story idea being milled about some, just working on developing some of the characters. We'll see if it actually goes anywhere. Considering school starts on Monday, I wouldn't count on it, but you never know. (Updated: Currently Reading)

Favorite Lines & Quotes:

"What you get by reaching your destination is not nearly as important as what you will become by reaching your destination." - Zig Ziglar

Works I've Posted - Presently, all works are in a state of suspension.

Dawn of Oblivion - no currently planned updates - I had posted this a while back, but never finished it and decided it could benefit from a re-write. That's what this is. I'm not sure I plan to continue this story at this point, but I hope you enjoy what has been written thus far.

Blackout - one shot- This piece is obviously incomplete as a work, but I don't know that I'll ever finish it. I wanted to write, so I did. I wasn't yet ready to develop a story and start a large work, so I just wrote some of what came to my mind and refined it over a couple days. What resulted is Blackout. I did not intend to continue this, but everyone seems to want to know what happens next, so I'm considering looking to see if I can find a way make a good story out of this brief interaction. However, between two jobs and Dawn of Oblivion, I don't really have the time to devote to it right now.

A Series of Miracles - no planned updates - A pair of short stories I wrote. The main focus is the magic that binds the love between two people.

A Moment of Truth poem - My first (and so far only) poem that was written to my wife (girlfriend at the time) a few years ago.

I invite you to please read and review the people listed on my favorite authors. Most of these folks review in kind, and their stories/poems are worth checking out. Do not pay much attention to my favorite stories, as that is generally what I use to keep track of what I'm currently reading. My to-do list, as it were. I wish you all the best in your writing, and look forward to sharing a great many adventures with you.
