Hey yall.
If you will allow an unpretentious moment: Welcome.
This site is the latest incarnation of a hundred spiralbound books abandoned under my bed, a false start at at religious concept blog I left languishing on the west side, 3 aborted chapbooks and stillborn album.
For a good 4 years now I have tried to have some consistent forum to present my work and most have fell by the wayside, save one. Facebook has somehow turned from a glorified picture posting to the center of college grads’ social history. And with it, I somehow managed, through the inspiration of my peers in the excelano project, to get a good amount of material up and out to world. I’ve gotten some fresh critiques, interesting responses, lots of encouragement out of the experience so far. So I figure, why not try my hand at taking things to the next level.
In addition to poetry, prose poems and whatever other writings I decide to put up, I want to try my hand at an old writing form that has falling out of favor…the serial. Magazines use to make use to serials all the time, with boxing stories and old west tales presented from week to week, month to month in bite sized pieces the reader could digest and wait hungrily for. Many of Dickin’s early work was created this way, as was Steven King’s “The Green Mile.” The web, as well as web users’ short attention spans, have made the form hot again, so I figure what better way to share my stories with friends without throwing a couple thousand words in their face. And, given time and interest, I would love to expand this site to allow serials from others, as well made site for this kind of thing seem to be far and in-between.
In the meantime, enjoy “Adam,” my first full length story. It will be put out weekly in addition to other content I am setup up before hand and will try to keep fresh. Holla at me with your thoughts. Peace
