CatchingInTheRyehide bio
Author has written 10 stories for General, Life, Young Adult, Love, and School. Not much to say. Just another teen writer here.The main reason I'm here is because I want to try and make a career out of this, and I have to get used to people reading and critiquing my work (as well as rejection. Lots of rejection haha). As for writing...I guess I have a bit of a dark style. Occasionally I take a spin with a comedy or something like that, but I mostly write simple stories with a philosophical twist. As for fave books, my three are "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D Salinger (duh), "Hocus Pocus" by Kurt Vonnegut, and "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. Any constructive criticism or comments would be extremely helpful. |

When you find that person who takes it all away, yet you can't bring yourself to let them.

One Too Many
One of those gifts of art when you get a feeling, sit down, and it just comes out. Interpret it as you will, but its meaning isn't as explicit as it may seem.

The Side of the Highway to the Big Time reviews
This is what happens when smart people fail tests and they get to thinking about how everyone around them is destined to succeed and they're bound to fail and watch the others do well. Teen ansgt at its best (or worst, depending how you view it).

Memories of Grade 10 Math reviews
Part of an independent English project, this is a written response to a previously written poem. I'd like to say the idea was all orginal, but I obviously can't. Hopefully the words will come across strongly anyway.

Never to have been reviews
Chronicle of the last half-hour of Daniel Dodd's university life, as he bids adieu to what was his world for the past four years and the girl which that world revolved around. Could possibly be used as the end of a bigger story.

The Meaning of it all
A frustrated author strikes out at the very essence of his being-his muse. Why must he write, and what is it all for?...I kinda lost my train of thought at the end, so that may be a bit weak...please R&R

Regretful Melancholy reviews
General angst is what it's categorized as. I like. Anyway it's one in a series of short stories I did. They're all about this single, middle-aged sub-par author (me in a kinda crappy future) 's view on life. Kinda like a bad Catcher in the Rye. R&R

Untitled reviews
I am by no means a poet, and this is by no means poetry. Just some random thoughts on a random idea. Hope you kids like it.

Worlds Within Worlds reviews
Just a bit of philosophical waxing on how complex we are as human beings, minus all the unanswerable questions and terms. Add a dash of the real world and stir.
