Literature Original literary works including short stories and poetry.

Feb 14, 2008.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, I've added a new poem to the Literature section entitled We Are. It's not exactly a traditional love poem, but I think it fits well within the theme of Valentine's Day. But then again, so would a poem about shooting people with arrows, so it's a pretty strange holiday really. In fact, I think I could convincingly claim that a poem about heart surgery was well suited for Valentine's Day. Well, I guess I know what to write for next year.

But for those of you that don't want to celebrate Valentine's Day, well, you probably don't feel like reading poetry anyway, so why don't you read some of the short stories instead. And if you like those, then come back soon, because the next short story will be online shortly.

I know I've promised lots of Halloween content this month, and the new Halloween themed short story is coming soon. (Although, there will probably be another short story posted first, but I'll say more on that later). Hopefully I'll manage to get everything up in time.

But while you're waiting, you can go read some new stories in the Audience Submission section of the forum:

Schizophrenic
Steve-O
Leprosy - a children's story

A couple of them are well suited for Halloween month, so go check them out.

I've been busy trying to setup the Words for Wear pages so I haven't been adding that much to the literature section. And, although I feel like all my posts are starting to drift into an overly dominant theme of apologizing for not updating the site enough, and promising I will do better in the future, I will say that I do plan to make more frequent updates to the Literature section from now on.

So on that note, here is my latest poem: It can be nice Not to Know

Just in time for Halloween -- a funny short story about a zombie. What could be better than that? (Seriously, I'd like to know, I can always use new ideas.)

So if you feel like you just haven't gotten enough zombies this Halloween (and how could you ever have enough zombies?), then go ahead and read the story. See The Truth Hurts When You're Dead above.

I finally added another short story (hopefully the first of many new ones to come).

See Friends of Necessity above.

I'm also hoping to have another new story done for Halloween, which I'm pretty excited about. October always seems to motivate me to get a lot of things done because of Halloween. I wish it was Halloween everyone month -- then I might actually accomplish somewhere close to the amount I want. Although, people would probably get sick of all the Halloween content.

The Literature section of the site is another part that has been slightly ignored lately, but that will soon change. I'm almost finished the next short story, and I have plans for something new, which I'm fairly excited about.

I won't say too much at this time, but it is going to be my own little twist on interactive story telling.

So keep checking back, because the Literature section should start filling up with content soon.
