Hello Urbis
About me:
I’ve been in the music business for the last 15 years or so, (at least semi-professionally). My primary role has been as songwriter/lyricist on several projects. Over the years I’ve also developed a passion for various forms of writing, all prose, to give myself a break from the more poetic nature of lyrics.
In this time, I’ve compiled a number of outlines, treatments, and manuscripts and am getting to the point where I’m thinking it might be time to do something with them.
I’ll probably start with some of my lyrics to see what kind of response those might garner.
My primary goal is to find publishing for 2 children’s books I’ve been working on. I have the stories. I have an illustrator for one. I jus…

They keep pushing me to break But they don't appreciate All the damage that is done In a war that's never won Coming at me from all sides It's getting harder to survive Suffer child torn apart To the breaking of my heart Stay away from my little girl Take your hands off my little girl She is pure and she is the world Stay away from my little girl Can you call yourself a man ruling with an empty hand Little information known Now a slave at your queen's throne Golden handcuffs rusty chains Give...

Some of the mistakes I've made are not OK when it comes to you only I know the truth and it's hard to say What it's gonna take if you want to stick around and find out what's going down you might just find yourself could you use a little help can you make a connection or is it a reflection into hell Falling pieces of a life like soot raining down into ashes on the ground former theories of what was and what was meant to be who can tell carry over like a spell can you make a connection or is i...

My Papa’s Diary By: R.L. Doty © 2007 Chapter One All these letters: Harvard, Princeton, Yale. . .ivy league yadda, yadda. Most people would kill for these letters. They aren’t the typical letters that most applicants receive. They aren’t the form letters of rejection. My letters are acceptance letters. My Aunt Lauren says I should be proud; that I should frame these letters or make some Ivy League collage or something, but that just isn’t my style. I’ll save them, of course. Who wouldn’t? But...

There once was a man named Dictator whose dick smelled like rotten tomatoes when he found him a mate he'd ask "how's my dick tate?" thus became one fine masturbator

Dear Writer, I definitely think you make some valid points here but, by the same token, this being a very general, anyone can join, community, it makes it very difficult to discern sometimes what is a truly fraudulant review and what simply suffers from hackery. After all, (allegedly), most of the people here are writers but not necessarily writers of reviews. I believe that in many cases, people try to be "tactful," so as to avoid the perceived shame of a negative review and fail to criticiz...
Dear Writer, First off your topic is very honest, real and human. I know now and continue to meet so many women who have "daddy issues," for lack of a better description and it seems to be a fairly widespread problem. Aside from some minor spelling and gramatical errors, I think the story flows pretty well. I definitely do see this as part of a broader piece though. You are setting up the story in a way by establishing some very common identifiable facts. These are the fact that her father le...
Dear Writer, Overall I like this piece very much. Bovine ballerinas! HILARIOUS! I think you make a really good point here. This is a satirical and sardonic commentary on poetry over all. Most importantly it is insightful and truthful. I've noticed that an overwhelming amount of the work up for review on Urbis is classified as poetry. So much of it takes itself too serious or tries too hard to the point of pretense or sad ridiculousness. Thanks for putting things into perspective. I hope more ...
