Nick. Seventeen. Gay. I'm writing blindly, just like everyone else.

Poetry is and will always be my first love.

Every writer on my favorites list is what I aspire to equal, one day.
READ THEM ALL.

MySpace.

If anyone can give me suggestions as to zines and publications to submit poetry and short fiction to, please let me know. I'm trying to start getting my work out in the hopes of one day having a name worth floating the currents of the literary world.

Also, I'm up for recommendations for stories to read here. I'll check out anything you throw my way, and I'm looking for any good cyberpunk/splatterpunk.

I'd like to offer my services as a beta-reader to anyone interested. I'm fairly skilled at finding mechanical errors, and would also be willing to give any requested concrit or stylistic suggestions. As far as content, I don't have any subject matter blacklisted. I only ask that the work be of a reasonable length (less than 30,000 words at a time), as I do have school and simply lack the time to edit a finished manuscript at one time. Chapter by chapter or section by section, however, would be acceptable. That being said, feel free to PM, MySpace, or email me with your work and I'll do my best to get back to you in a timely manner.

"To write is to live according to one's terms." -Roger Rosenblatt

"Nobody who can write worth a damn ever writes in peace." -Charles Bukowski

The horizons ring me like faggots,
tilted and disparate, and always unstable.
Touched by a match, they might warm me,
and their fine lines singe
the air to orange
before the distances they pin evaporate,
weighting the pale sky with a solider color.
But they only dissolve and dissolve
like a series of promises.
-Sylvia Plath
