Of course not.

I know I don't do many blogs -- I'm not really a blog type of person, but I decided to make a new one today. 2009 is still fairly young..and there's so much more time this year for learning and experience. I feel I've started my year off decently.

I started a short story titled "Documents of Grief" about two years ago on Halloween night. I got about half way through -- and came to a sudden realization. It wasn't anything new. It wasn't an advancement in my writing ability..so I ended up trashing it. I liked the idea of the story..but to me it was the same old thing I've always done before. It would have been great about 2 years ago, but now...no.

Anyhow..I ended up starting it over...completely from scratch. Based on a similar idea, though written as a new piece.

Now, this once short story has blossomed into a Novella, and is moving into novel status. I am REALLY proud of this writing, and once it's done -- whenever that may be, I hope to have it published (assuming it keeps going in a way I enjoy). Once it's in a decent enough state I'll post some chapters here, and I really hope someone will check them out.

Until then I'll just give a quick description. I'll say that "Documents of Grief" is a grim tale about isolation, fear, and discovery. Aside from that I don't want to say anymore until I release it out..but I really have to say, this IS my best long writing. It is also my scariest, by far. If you like horror, and can handle my writing style (it is different, in my opinion), you should like this!

So yeah, I'm really proud of this. I don't mean to gloat or anything..I'm just..happy.

Since..well, around halloween I have been working on a new literature community. It's called Samhain Light, and has been growing steadily. We still are young, so the more posts the better.

If anyone is interested in joining and would like to show off some of their work, I'd be very appreciative.

I'm not sure if anyone remembers me or if anyone will see this, but I decided to stop by and post some of my work. I'm going to make an attempt to stick around more often. Normally I write -- when I'm inspired, but lately I haven't been posting it here. Well, now I added about 5 pieces of work..and have more to come. I feel that my writings are improving, and my technique is evolving. So if you get a chance, check out my work please! Critique is wanted!

Thanks.

So I suddenly had a burst of inspiration, and added a few new photos and a writing. Please check them out. Aside from that, I recieved a scholarship and should be going to college this month. That's about all that is new with me...ahh my life sucks

Today I ran across a poetry contest here. It was posted in the deviant thumbnail section of the forums.

It's created by =RoninGaleria and ends April 24th. The winner will gets a free 1 Month Subscription here. I thought that was kind of cool...and submitted one of my poems.

I figured some of you may be interested, and I might as well post it here for more people to see.

Here's the link:
