Here is the page with my articles all nice and sorted out for you to look through. I know you'll find at least two things to interest you that you'll comment on. (wink wink nudge nudge) This is the art of writing. Many of these articles may be classified under more than one heading, as they are slightly ambigous, to a point. Some are listed twice. Some even thrice.

Brutal Honesty
This is a novella that amazingly came together in the space of a total of seven writing days, with two grace days without writing. (So technically nine days) It is a crime thriller/murder mystery and was posted in parts. I am currently editing and rewriting because I think it has the potential to be published.

Some of these aren't really that well written, but are amusing anyways. And at the very least, interesting. I hardly ever write anything to be considered boring.
These are not really in the essay category. But they are not necessarily part of a larger work such as Starless Sky or Brutal Honesty. Many of them were also done as part of various writing exercises.
