I don't write very often, and hardly ever unless it's for a specific purpose (such as a class). However, when I do buckle down and actually put words on a page, I really enjoy it. These are some of the stories, essays, and poems that I've done. I have no particular attachment to the current list, they're just the ones I've stumbled across so far.Note: These are in their finished state because I don't intend to actively improve them, not because I think they are perfect as is. I'm certainly open to constructive criticism, but do try to be kind.
| Title | Synopsis | My Two Cents |
|---|---|---|
| Perfect Parenting | I get smacked around. | I'm not sure if I actually remember this or if I'm just remembering the story from my perspective. In any case, by all rights, my parents should have been locked up. |
| Andrea | An interview with my niece. | I could have done much better with this, but I didn't have that much creative juice left. |
| Untitled | Flash fiction. | I'm actually quite proud of this one. I nailed the ending in the version I turned in, but I can't find, so this is what you get. |
| I'm Sorry | A conversation of the cause and effect of writing a paper. | |
| The Tree | Me whining. | |
| Amateur Insomniac | Advantures at 3am. | The title is probably the best thing about this one. |
| My Own Man | The difference between my father and I. | |
| In a Cafe | A poem. | These poems are part of my "Why Computer Scienists Shouldn't Write Poetry" series. |
| Untitled | A poem. | Read this poem at your own risk. |
| Untitled | A poem. | I actually had to read this one in class. They were thankfully supportive. |
| Untitled | A poem. | This got applause when I read it aloud. It was the poem everyone in the class wanted to write, but didn't have the guts to. |
| Retirement Speech | A speech given at my retirement party | I wrote this in high school. My english teacher liked it so much, he had the class reenact it. |
| Collected Poems | Various formula poems. | I most of these are from middle school. |
