UPDATE (7/1/16): I removed the stories and poems posted on here. Thank you everyone, once again, for the constructive feedback and encouragement. As I'm applying for a MFA in Creative Writing (hopefully next semester after earning my bachelors in Business Administration (Marketing) and Foreign Languages), I am using some of my pieces for the writing sample portion of the application.

Lots of things have happened to me since my last update. Trials, revelations, and adjustments, but I'm still writing. Saying thank you is never enough for the support I received for continuing to write these stories to the best of my ability. Thank you.

UPDATE (12/9/13): I'm finally brushing off the dust. I haven't been active on here for nearly over a year. A lot of things have happened in real life, and I went through a hard time.

I want to thank everyone who has ever reviewed my work posted on here. Thank you so much for the critiques and the encouragement. I really appreciate it. I want to apologize to those whom I overwhelmingly critiqued when reviewing their works. I know I was an overzealous grammar nazi, I'll admit it.

And, yes, I am still writing. I have written "throwaway" novels and short stories during the past few years, and I'm currently planning to rewrite some of those projects. If you're interested, feel free to check me out on tumblr.

If you're ever curious about what I'm reading or what are my favorite books, feel free to check me out on Goodreads.

He was all “oh but some writers just have a calling” and maybe that’s true, but some writers have a calling and they aren’t even good at writing, and then it’s just this wasteful… extravagance almost. What are all these words for?
