When I was three years old, I dictated my first story to my mother.  It was my own version of Little Red Riding Hood in which the wolf ate everyone.  What can I say, I liked wolves.  I’m twenty-one now and I’ve won various awards and been published in countless low-key literary works.  I think that everyone has room to improve and I would like to become more polished.  Of course, I still believe that I’ve already got a couple of best sellers ready for shelves.

Knowing you is like being part of a club Yea, well I’m tired of paying dues Of waking up early on Tuesday morning Because you’re on acid and ready to talk You tell me to get a pen and paper No, wait, better yet a tape recorder This is how you say the Bible would be In 2006 I say I don’t think Jesus was lit It starts You give me your filthy ideas for movies and inventions I think already exist Life mottos that sound more like bumper stickers than mantra Are you getting this?

No one asks me what I’m doing on Friday nights anymore. Oh, a select few of my friends will answer my phone calls Sunday through Thursday, but on those eves of drunken debauchery they will go from Canada to Mexico if it’ll help them avoid me. I don’t care. A beer’s a beer whether you drink it alone or with four other assholes drinking it at the same time. A football games the same no matter where you see it and a great play is still a great play without some dickhead shouting, “Did ya see th...

Novel Treatments / Chubby Duckling // Chapter One

Sitting in the back of Bus 57 in my wrinkled white button-down blouse and plaid skirt my mother bought at a rummage sale – the wrong shade of gray but I said they were just faded – I didn’t realize why everyone thought it was such a big deal for Jeffery Favreau to kiss me. Jeffery had eyes like a movie star, deep, thoughtful, and aqua-marine. His hair was longer than our school’s rigid dress code permitted, the side pieces falling just shy of his earlobes, the front hiding his eyebrows, and ...

If being loved makes you uncomfortable Then you’re more fucked up than I am Yet somehow you drew me in like The first fifteen minutes of a Lifetime original And I waited, keeping an eye out for Anyone to come barging into the den Demanding to know when I became so cliche This is the last poem I’ll write for you And it’s the first one I don’t care if you see How could I think you were different? It must have been the way lights angled In your soul and cast a shadow familiar Like every lost toy...

Short Story / Us Against the Morons

Sal lived alone and had done so for the last fourteen years. It had started when his fourth wife, Priscilla, had finally had enough of him and his whiskey and his gambling at casinos. “Good riddance, Sal Montgomery,” she had said, “Expect to be hearing from my attorney.” This did not shock Sal much. It had happened just this way three times before. Only those times it had been vodka and horse races. Sal changed to whiskey because it was cheaper and to gambling at casinos because it was indoo...

Short Story / Happy Yule, Colin Cross
The title definetely caught my attention. I've never collaborated with someone on a story before, but I like how your styles seem to mesh. If I didn't know there were two authors here I wouldn't have suspected it. "angelic vampire who had helped nurture his abilities at finding the very best art from around the world." -- I'm not sure I like the vampire part of the description here... how is Colin "sucking the life out of him" if he's helpful? "What does someone get the cheerful vampire who h...
"Words were thrown But they hit like blows" -- the word "blows" here seems flat. I would go with something more colorful like punches maybe. "And my infinite patience Ran out" -- I hope you know that by definition, something infinite cannot run out. But okay, I'll except it as a joke. "For my way with words Is a waste When i can’t breathe" -- I like the ending, best verses by far. Overall, not bad. Hard to get a sense for the writer in something so short.
Poetry / Laceration Hymns
It's hard to critque each poem indivigually, so what I'll do is give you an overall impression AND some lines I would fix. "I used to sleep outside to get closer to them." -- this line from untitled sounds like a pedophile. it's just creepy "Was it black because the ground was white or was it black from sin?" -- the second half of this line is messy. I think just 'was it black because the ground was white' is fantastic, and to balance it without something subpar ruins it. Some of your poems d...
This is written by a five year old? I flat out don't believe that. "The people who created the Blues." -- I wouldn't really say America created the Blues. Seems like it would be more attributable to our African slaves if anyone, which seems ironic told in this piece. "Join the work force And waste their lives." -- interesting opinion on working women. "That America keeps hid." -- shouldn't it be "hidden"? "By some white plantation owner" -- white is an uncessary word here. There were no black...
Short Story / On the Beach of Normandy
I haven't seen the video you're talking about but I like the image of the black, salty hair and your description of the bullet. The only advice I would give is to go on with this -- it's far too short to get an impression of your skill as a writer.
