SOME LITERARY GEMS
Short Stories and Poems

I've been writing since junior high school, when I wrote a play called "William Shakespeare Baseball," using every really bad pun I could think of. It seriously stunk up the joint, but I knew that I was hooked on putting pen to paper. In my ankst-laden late-teen years, I wrote dark poetry, filled with woe and ennui, ("...flowers grow and bloom only to die and be buried...").

The works here are just for fun. Writing like this is really good practice for setting the scene and developing a simple story-line. Actually, writing ANYTHING is good practice.

I am currently working on a real short story, (it's almost 70 pages long!). My friend, Liz, is proofreading the first two parts while I work on the third part. As I told Liz recently, it is almost orgasmic to sit at the keyboard and find that the words are just flowing through your fingers onto the keyboard without almost any thought.

Anyway, enjoy!
