my writing i've started taking up writing again... i'm going to put everything i do in my new creative writing class here (well, maybe not the things i don't like :-)

a story i wrote a while ago...

a couple of songs i wrote... don't have the music in useful form yet, though.

-- writing assignments --

a series of images from a memory.

a transformation of the same assignment into haiku.

inclass writing: something in the style of gertrude stein's "roast beef", and free association...

what came of reading lyrics to a rasputina album and writing freely: a strange little portrait

what happened when given the assignment of writing a collage piece about sexual intercourse entirely from 2 pages of the boston glob.

a retelling of little red riding hood, more than somewhat warped. (the assignment was to take the punctuation mark assigned to you, and write a story where the tone/telling was influenced by that punctuation mark.)

an attempt to tell a story in a "non-narritive" form (in this case, someone's list of "books to read")

a "literary misinterpretation" of a physics book (the assignment was to take a non-literary work and write an appreciative essay on it as if it were the newest offering by an avant-garde writer.)

what happens when you take the witch's speech from macbeth and exchange every noun in it for the noun which appears 7 noun entries later in the alphabet. very surreal.

an autobiography in unconventional format.

these are things which are not my writing, and too long to go with my short quotes, but speak to me...

two short quotes i saw on melissa (mew)'s page about love and life.
