Caden
A new short story posted, check it out: Caden. Done for my creative writing class.
When people talk about Caden, and they’re being nice, they say he is very direct and confident for someone his age. Which is true, if generous. If someone says something cheeky, challenging him, he never shies away from a confrontation. Not that he’s physically aggressive or belligerant, you understand. He is just so self-assured that, once involved in a verbal duel, he never gives in. This bothers some people. Admittedly, he is not always tactful. The filter that most people have between brain and mouth is just not present in Caden. On the other hand, there’s nothing false about him either – he just says it as he sees it.Caden’s stepfather was rather well-off, and so could afford to send him to the same private college where, as chance would have it, I had been awarded a full scholarship.

New Look
Hey, how do you like the new blog look? Adapted/customized from the theme ‘Fly’ by Elea C. Different colors, different little symbol in the corner (oh, come on, you knew I had to do something with dragons!), etc. – basically I just kept the general structure and changed everything else. I rather like how it turned out.
I’m taking a creative writing class right now through UT, and also doing a sort of informal poetry workshop thing, so hopefully this site will be put to more use in the near future. Cross your fingers.
Meanwhile, my book is still for sale, so go buy it. 
Woohoo! Published!
I am officially published and available for sale, ladies and gentlemen!
Er…well, my BOOK is available for sale, rather. My book of poetry, Penchant, which I originally compiled for an honors thesis, but then completed on my own terms. It has been edited and added to a bit, and now republished through Lulu.com. AND it’s available on Amazon.com, Border, and Barnes & Noble websites as well.
