Books

Everything I write I consider to be a book, even if it isn't actually in book form. That being said, the number of "books" I claim to have written do not add up to the number available - no where near the same number. Nonetheless, I feel it necessary to share some of what I have produced, regardless of it being published, in-progress, incomplete, or lost forever (R.I.P. Lifeblood). Is this meant to be great historical information? Sure, why not! But mostly it's a nice way for me to keep track because honestly I have the memory of a goldfish and one day I might have the genius idea to write something that I already wrote - shortly thereafter I will hide my own Easter eggs, too!

Published Works

In other words, these are stories that you can actually get a hold of and read all on your own! Wonderful thing the written word, it saves me the long-distance phone call of reciting it all to you!

All Works

For lack of a better title, most of these stories are either impossible or near impossible for you to get a hold of. Some because I'm guarding it with my life, and others because quite frankly I can't get a hold of them! Nonetheless I am certain that all of these titles did exist at some point, even if I would rather not admit to having anything to do with them...

Books I Like

I don't read nearly as much as I would like to, and having been a student for so many years, the books I do read are mostly ones that I have to read. That being said, I do love reading. This section will be, more or less, a complete misrepresentation of the books that I have read and enjoyed. Why a misrepresentation? Because if it is hard enough for me to remember what I have written, how do you expect me to remember what I have read? I have recently subscribed to a website, GoodReads, for the purpose of sharing my literary journey. The issue, however, is that these sites exist for the sake of rating and reviewing texts, and if I am going to publicly place a label on any text I want to be certain that it is a genuine reflection of my reading of it, and therefore I cannot bring myself to rate a text that I have not recently read. I am using this website as if I have only just begun my literary journey, thus my "shelves" are a little bare at the moment. On the plus side, it is motivating me to re-read texts that I know I loved.
