Mirror
Mirror, mirror, hanging ready,
Speak to me words pretty and dear,
Give me truth shining and heady,
Tell me now what I want to hear.
Put your trust in appearance fair,
In clever speech and sliver tongue,
Lies could never from these lips dare
To slip and with truth mix among.
Pity you failed to make this link:
I show you what you want to see:

Returning (again)
Looks like the last time I tried to re-start this journal didn't last long, but I'm once again giving it another shot. I need an excuse to write more and I've been writing sonnets again anyways. So: LiveJournal take three! Let's start off with one of those sonnets:
Brave Hero
Bright the goal and bright the intent:
Turn away from might, reach toward ( Read more... ) -
Next scene!
This conversation is going to need some tweeking, at some point, but here's the next piece in the story:
The woman had the Inn’s largest and most well-appointed room, what was jokingly referred to as the ‘honeymoon suite.’ She strode in as if she owned the place and wasn’t merely renting, apparently her usual attitude. She tossed her grey ( Read more... ) -
More back story
Here's more of the old stuff I had for this story. The more I read it the more I think this beginning part needs work. A lot of work. But at this point I'm more interested in the advanced parts of the story. Ah well. Here it is:
The town’s only Inn was at the town’s only intersection: where two dirt tracks met because every dirt track meets ( Read more... ) -
The next bit
Here's the next bit in the story; Sean, maybe you'll get some of the details you were wanting. I wrote this a long time ago though, and even after some editing... I think it shows :-P I like to think my writing has matured a bit, but I don't really feel like going back and rewriting all of this. At least, not yet. Anyway:
The night before it ( Read more... ) -
Ok, folks, here goes...
Here I present to you the opening scene from something I've been working on off and on for years. I can seriously use some feed back on this because 1, I wrote it ages ago and it hasn't had any editing, and 2, I'm not sure every where I'm going with this but I'd like it to be really solid (eventually, someday ( Read more... ) -
I'm back
I suppose I stopped writing here because I thought it was narcissistic and melodramatic, but looking back at it, it wasn't all bad. I do miss having an outlet for creative writing. And let's face it, I mostly stopped because James didn't like it. So I thought I'd give it another go, and maybe stick more with the creative stuff and less with ( Read more... ) -
Goodbye
Well, I'm officially ending this journal for the indefinite future. Interested persons can instead check out www.biophile.wordpress.com, my new natural history blog. People who are interested in my actual life will have to just e-mail me to get any current gossip. -
2006
It is now down to the last month of the sixth year of the new millenium and it seems to me that, give or take, more or less, I've been angry this entire year. Well, not so much angry as livid, or possibly outraged. Or maybe even enraged. Yeah, lets go with that one, I like the sound of that ( Read more... )
