I made a separate blog for the daily short fiction I've been doing. Just thought it would be better if I could put my actual name on it.

I don't really like this one, but for better or worse here it is:
( Today's 50 words or more of fiction... )

Jeez am I tired. Thursdays are booked solid this quarter. I start at 8:30 am and end between 8 and 9 pm depending on how long the movie in my John carpenter class is. Whew! Admittedly it's happy-I-accomplished-things-today exhaustion.

Anyway: ( Here's Today's Piece 'o Fiction )

I'm going to try to write at least 50 words of fiction a day from now on. To keep myself honest I'm putting it in this journal. The results probably won't be cohesive but the skills they need-a sharpenin'. Feel free to comment or not as you wish.


( Here's the first one. )

Luke Girardi and Grace Polk from "Joan Of Arcadia"
Kaylee Frye and Simon Tam from "Firefly"
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce and Fred Burkle from "Angel"
Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones from "Torchwood"
Gwen Cooper and Rhys from "Torchwood"
Dean Venture and Triana Orpheus from "The Venture Bros."
Sylar and Elle from "Heroes"

For me personally or for anyone ever?

Personally I'd go mad with anything involving both a high level of data correlation and the involvment of more than three other people. I prefer just doing things on my own in the manner which is most effective. Some collaboration is fine and joyful but after three other people there's just too much coordination nessesary.

For anyone ever: Probably a poet. Poetry is the single most difficult thing to make. It requires an excellent ear for cadence, an intimate knowledge of language, a knowledge of conventions and styles and the ability to be in touch with exactly what you need to say as opposed to what you want to say. The pay mostly sucks. Most Literary criticism currently is stacked against new poets, staffed as it is with people who just wet themselves over Marxist theory. A large percentage of poets are alcoholics. The worst thing: a true poet has to be a poet. Perhaps they are additional things like butcher, baker, professor etc... but they have to make these absurdly beautiful and tragic little pieces of verse and then tinker until it feels perfect and then they have to start the whole agonizing process over again.
