I started putting up some writing here not long before starting grad school. Then I disappeared, because being molded into a future scholar-automaton turned out to be quite time consuming. I now have a something of a reprieve since I tricked some people into paying me to go hang out in Europe for a while. (fiction) Writing is something I occasionally do to let out some stress. My main artistic outlet is oral storytelling (for more on this, see Orality vs. Literacy). When I do find writing time these days, it still mostly goes toward an ongoing series, The Worth of Words. I have already put the first two novellas of this up here: Priceless and Never Say Sometimes. There are two more novellas currently completed, which I will start updating shortly. At the moment, I'm starting to write some short stories, which take place within the same continuity, but feature only a few of the characters from the novellas. Since I never know when other things will demand my attention these days, I won't make any declarations regarding the regularity of new material. I will try to return reviews of more than a couple words though.
