[Love Notes]

Writing
Title* denotes a new piece

Fiction
excerpts from Love Notes, a postmodern story
this was from a genre study assignment our fiction teacher assigned us this past year. I had embraced the genre (postmodern) and both of us feel that I succeeded at capturing it in this story. I may post the complete thing one day. I am just VERY protective of it.

Jeremy, Michael, Steven
this is a weird piece, based on my feelings for one out of three of my close guy friends. I don't feel that way about him anymore and they're not my friends anymore (messy, stupid story) but I still like the idea. I know it needs work, but I can't figure out what to do with it, exactly

Braden, Remember
I have no idea what genre this would be. It was an assignment: we had to go around St. Augustine and take notes on some landmarks, then incorporate them into our story in the order in which we visited them. Mine were a Catholic church, a Military hospital and the Huguenot cemetery. This DEFINITELY needs a new title

"Pas de Deux
I wrote this on the RIDICULOUSLY LONG plane ride back from Brooklyn the other day. It is inspired from the music video for 'I Believe in the Way that You Move,' by Jeremy Warmsley.

Past the Beaches*
This was a reaction to a photograph my photography teacher gave me. My first "real" college assignment.

Micro-Fiction
Picket Fences
a piece of micro-fiction based off of a series of 6-word stories

Untitled 1
this is another piece of micro fiction. I wrote it during our Writers' Festival. I hope to title it one day >.>

To Know the Truth
VERY micro fiction. Again, written at Writers' Fest. I want a sanctuary from my memories, honestly.

---

Poetry
Summer
this is a three-part series of poems that I wrote, all involving related imagery and the common theme of summer. it was written in 2006-2007

Nothing But You
a poem I wrote based on quote from other peers' work; it is about a relationship between a brother and sister drifting apart

Laughter Never to Trust
a poem!

Untitled 2
this poem is entirely about me not being friends with my best friend any more. It feels a little rough and jumpy to me. Either it needs to be rearranged or just redrafted a few more times. Advice?

Everything Lasts Forever

I Never Did Think[b]
I don't really like the title for this. If anyone has a better suggestion, throw it at me!

A Missing Savior
This is where the title of my gallery comes from. It is based on phrases and ideas from a sermon my Rabbi gave one night.

well, it seems I've lost a LOT more work than I realized, so hopefully I will be adding to this soon

First of all, I think this is a great start to your portfolio. I really like your writing - I think it's absolutely fantastic, and you have such a great command of different genres. Before I officially put you in a group, could you fix the link for Braden, Remember? When I click on it I'm taken to a start page for Google docs, and I'd really like to read it. If I'm being dense and the link is just fine, feel free to whack me over the head with a soggy caterpillar

[Love Notes]

Thank you!
And you were right; I copied the wrong link (it is fixed now), so if anyone deserves soggy caterpillar hits, it would be me! =)

[!Alyciabaleesha!]

Excellent! Your writing is clear, concise, original and well-developed. I think it's outstanding, and look forward to reading more of it and absolutely working with you if you ever have any desire for help

You have been placed in the Big Lipped group.

Go ahead and put this graphic in your sig somewhere:


Congratulations on your group placement! I can't wait to read more of your writing and I hope you have a good time with our challenges/prompts (when we get them up).

[Love Notes]

ooh! that's really exciting! thanks. I can't wait to see some challenges!

[!Alyciabaleesha!]

WHOA, fast reply! Rachel and I are working on getting everything up and running shortly - I think it will be lots of fun

[Love Notes]

yeah. I have no life, hah. and yay! I can't wait!

I really adore reading your work. Pas de Deux was so enjoyable to read, you could picture the girl on the corner and the old man stopping at her stand. Basically, I loved it <3

[Love Notes]

Thank you very much =]

I just read Picket Fences; the mania as it started had me totally lost as to how it was going to end. I was quite surprised, actually.

Keep it up~ <3
