very nice!

i'm a grantwriter, and i also write other professional stuff like proposals, brochures and press releases.

my fiction and poetry are pretty lame, and i've lost all of it when my laptop crashed (backup? naw, that's for sissies!) - luckily, no huge loss there!

Thank you sweetie. I really just wrote down everything I saw as I took a walk on the beach. It really struck me, all the trash and red, white and blue decorations. Nuff said.



Care to help us with the NFO?


You are a sweet and beautiful person. You don't need no stinkin' poetry!

I'm a writer, sort of. Creative stuff. It's my major at school.

I've read your stuff! It's very good! I still have it around here somewhere. I found it when I moved.

Submitting something for publishing in a few weeks... granted it's only the university literary journal, but it's still something...

And when did you move??

Natsume said:

In November! We're in Brooklyn now!

2the9s said:

Brooklyn! What the fuck! Have you got an accent now? 9s is ghetto!!

I currently do some freelance work for a few newspapers in Metro Detroit -- news, sports, and features. Before I joined the US military I worked, while going to college, for a newspaper in a Cleveland suburb. Wrote for over 5 years on a part-time basis, mainly local sports, some professional sports (Indy Car, Arena Football).

I've always been creative, be it in journalism, creating graphic arts in my spare time, and doodling. It's who I am but as of recent I have only been able to latch onto freelance work. I hope to get that coveted job offer someday soon.

Applekisses, hunny, you do awesome work be it at a newspaper or at the university. But we both know where you heart lies -- newspaper reporting.

I write poems (only when I'm sad) and short stories and essays. I'm working on a novel that I have been working on for 7 years now.

orgnote me some details!

Vina, I love it!

I used to write a lot when I was really depressed, but a lot of the stuff is way too creepy to post here. I wouldn't want to scare anyone, lol!

Lately, I've been writing a lot of silly things to get my mind off of certain things and to make light of certain situations in order to preserve my sanity. I think I may have shared this in here, but here's a poem I'd like to dedicate to my ex-boyfriend, Chris. It's written from his point-of-view, and it's called "Ode to a Crack Whore". It means a lot more if you know the whole story, because every line is for a reason, but I think you'll get the picture...

Ode to a Crack Whore
by Me

You're on the pipe, but that's alright,
I just want to fuck tonight.
No ordinary hooker, you.
Give me some sugar, sweet baboo.
Crabs and scabs and rotten crotch,
The sores on your lips, they bother me not.
I don't think this is dark and seedy,
Because I'm dirty, nasty, skanky, and needy.

The price is right, you are dirt-cheap,
With STDs, my dick shall seep.
Even if you test positive,
I don't see what the problem is.
Chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and AIDS,
Hep. A, B, and C, I just want to get laid.
"It wasn't the first time," I bragged to Nicole,
I'll stick my small prick in any old hole.

I'm pathetic and desperate, I scheme for food,
All I need is a ho to soothe my bad mood.
I'm broke as hell, I can't pay for my bills,
Instead of some cash, maybe she'll accept pills.
It doesn't take much to satisfy me.
Fuck it! Who cares if it burns when I pee?
For all that I did, I have no remorse,
I'll always remember the nights with my whores.

I think you can post your creepy stuff now... That was GROSSS!!!

Thanks for the compliment on my poem. I think you should post another one!

theVelvetRoper said:

Ouch, definately the wrong kind of boyfriend. Unfortunatly many of us tend to meet at least one of those (if not many).

Great poem, even made me angry at the guy

Milty said:

I've written 2 novels and I'm starting my 3rd in a few weeks.
I've spoken to publishers and they're intrested in my 3rd one. I told them that my first 2 were personal and I didn't want anyone else to read them.

Whateva said:

Lol, thank you. I realize it's not beautiful prose, but it made me cope, lol.

Milty said:

Why the ?

VinaBlue said:

No problem, your poem was great.

Yeah, I know it's gross. I had to live through it.

I wrote an article about Prince for an online magazine called Zora. Usually I just write for myself and it was really weird working with an editor and all. I feel like my article was destroyed a bit in the editing process but maybe that's because I'm just not used to working with an editor. I just feel like it could have been a much better article.

100% seriously: I write. Poems, lyrics, shortprosa, novels, u name it.

What more do U want to know?

U don't want to see my work... unless you wanna get heavily depressed..

I know, I know...can you forgive me, love?
