About Myself: I'm a 30-something living in North Carolina. I write for fun, and am looking for some critiques.

My literary heros include Stephen King, Dean Koontz, John Saul, and E.A. Poe. If you are looking for a really good short story, check out Dean Koontz's "Kittens" from his book Strange Highways. Also, check out Raymond Carver's "Little Things" (aka "Popular Mechanics"). And, if you can find it, a short called "The Old Black Hat" by Gary Raisor. Classic.

Also, for reading material, I enjoy comic books. Not only the Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men variety, but also Calvin and Hobbes, Zits, and Non-Sequitor. Some good reading right there, I tell you.

Title article: To Whom It May Concern
Date: 2008-07-13 18:54:34

I liked it. I think that some very good points were made in this story, and it has a great twist at the end (at first I thought it was a suicide note). I see nothing wrong with this. 
 
As far as Alfred is concerned, he has yet to post a story, which, to me, means that he isn't much of a writer. I don't mind non-writers coming onto this site to read and leave comments; HOWEVER, his comments have often been rude and unnecessary, and not helpful whatsoever. I think everyone should just ignore his comments. If he's not happy with the writing on this site, let's see him do better.

Title article: Tired Avenue Dirkin/Anna Devine
Date: 2008-07-13 12:50:15

Yeah, I thought this poem was supercool. It was incredibly well worded and well written, the rhymes were right on, and it flowed nicely. I agree that it does not particularly appear to be about anything other than random thoughts and lines. That isn't such a good thing. Poems should have meaning, and one that can be grasped by the readers, no matter who the readers are. But, it was still a darn good poem.

Title article: War On Earth
Date: 2008-07-13 12:03:41

Dude, you know Russian? 
 
I thought that this was a pretty good poem, but it was a little difficult to understand what happened. I think it may have read better as a short story. Just my opinion. 
 
Don't pay any attention to Alfred- he's just pissed cause he can't write. At least he hasn't posted anything yet. When/if he does finally post something, and if it's good, we'll give ear to what he has to say. Until then he can piss off.

Title article: Is

While I may disagree with the content of the poem, I think you did a good job of writing it and pouring you emotions out onto the page. Or the screen. Whatever. Good job.

Title article: Repugnant Disjointment
Date: 2008-07-13 11:24:34

I thought it was a good poem, even though you used some of them five-dollar words that I need a dictionary for. I enjoyed reading it, and I agree with Punk that it sounds like a poem about the crucifiction of Jesus. 
Keep up the good writing.

Title article: The Root of all Evil
Date: 2008-07-12 22:41:14

I don't know why you don't like this story. This is probably one of the funniest ones on this site. I love the way you parodied "Scream" using the BK king. That was a stroke of genius. This is going into the favorites.

Title article: Questions
Date: 2008-07-12 19:38:22

Yet another thought-provoking poem written with underlying Christian themes. I love those. Some of the rhyming and flowing almost missed its intended mark, but it all worked out well in the end. Good job!

Title article: A Bad Day
Date: 2008-07-12 19:34:29

Yeah, this was pretty good. It was a lot of fun to read, and creatively constructed. I've wanted to write something like that, only in a spiral or something. However, I'm afraid that an undertaking like that would cause my Microsoft Word program to turn in its resignation. 
I didn't sing this poem. I don't know the tune. Maybe Punk can help me with it. Is it Happy Birthday?

Title article: Sun and the Moon
Date: 2008-07-12 19:27:48

I'm with Punk on this one- are you trying to tell us something? 
I hate to be critical of the ambiguously suicidal, but, as much as I liked the way you represented the doom, gloom, and hopelessness in your poem, the rhythm was off, and the rhyming, at places, didn't quite make it. 
But the line "And still it rains..." was so cool. That was a great line to throw in there.

Title article: The Water Sparkle
Date: 2008-07-12 13:49:30

I absolutely agree with Kasi that it was read like a painting that, on the edge of my memory, I know I've seen before. The linguistic visuals were stunning and well placed. Excellent job.
