  1. I Don't Write Anymore

    by , 03-19-2009 at 12:48 PM (The (not so) Inner Whinings of an Impatient Rambler)
    This is something I've been thinking about quite a bit lately. When I was younger I wrote all the time. Short stories, newspaper articles, my own reference books I'd done research for, novels (of the 8-year-old-thinks-a-novel-is-just-an-infinitely-detailed-short-story variety). And I remember that my imagination was a dominant part of my thinking at all times. Everything I saw, I coloured in as though the world was only a black and white colouring book outline and it was up to me to fill in the ...

  2. A trip down memory lane

    by , 03-19-2009 at 12:01 PM (Insights from a person of questionable sanity)
    I spent most of my day thinking did I really enter the short story competition here a year or so ago? I couldn't remember and yet I had a vague feeling of emailing my short story.

    A quick search revealed - YES! I did. I lost - a respectable loss, coming second with 6 votes. http://www.online-literature.com/for...ad.php?t=25346

  4. A happy poem

    by , 03-18-2009 at 06:03 PM (Poems, general writings, ravings, and other things.)
    From your quiet cloud so high up, you see me
    Standing over your rotting corpse
    And giggling
    Like a little schoolgirl
    Stomach sliced open
    Entrails hanging in a tree like Christmas tinsel

  5. Textual discourse and modernism
