( brittle hearts )

sporadic writer. full of cheese and pretentious phrases.
in love with present tense. abuses the word heart a little too often.
lacks the attention for churning out multi-chaptered pieces. review returner.


( April 10th, 2010 )

A new piece is up, finally! Something a little less depressing, I hope. Not too proud of the entire writing style per se, but I've spent enough time on it.
what a beautiful mess is still being worked on, so do look out for the second chapter in the next month or so. Probably.
