Author has written 50 stories for War, Life, General, Love, Haiku, Friendship, and General. October 30th 2009: Back from another long FictionPress hiatus. Then again, I never introduced myself in the first place. I'm Brian. Currently attending the University of California, Santa Cruz, in an attempt to obtain that ever-useful B.A. in Literature (with a concentration in Creative Writing: Poetry!). I write mostly poetry, but I've done a number of short stories. The strong point in my writing, as I've been told, is voice. Because of this, it seems I'm being ushered towards the novel/screenplay writing realm. Don't fret; of course I still take my poetry "seriously." The written word is eternal regardless of the method used. Anyway, I hate writing about my writing. Too redundant and my mind wanders too much for these formalities. If you want to learn more about me, check out my Facebook. Shoot me an add if you'd like. I am egotistical, honest, straight-forward...and relaxed. Not to mention a silly...guy (argh, censorship on a writing site). You have not met one of me. Might as well warn you in advance. Until next time! -Brian Chambers http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000125802265&ref=name | |||||||||
