Hey, what’s up.  My name’s Frank and I’m 27 and a native New Yorker, born and raised in Brooklyn.  I started out writing short stories, most of which never saw the light of day for the lack of a forum to share them… like this one.  I recently self-published my first novel, “The Fab 5” and I’m always loking for an opportunity to read other writers’ stuff, share my own stuff, and polish my skills.  I’m a huge sports nut (Go Knicks, Go Yanks), heavily into sci-fi (DS9 was the best Star Trek), and am a comic book nerd.

I hope to share some of my older stuff, as well as create new stuff for anyone who wants to read.

Short Story / Morning After
Version 1
4 Reviews   5 Comments
His eyes fluttered open as the noontime sun blasted through his window, and he was greeted with a pounding headache, a dry mouth, and the sheets beneath him soaked in sweat. Happy Saturday, he thought. He pulled the pillow over his head and rolled over and about half a second after he found himself nose-to-nose with a stunning brunette sleeping naked in his bed, he realized he didn’t have any clothes on. Bits and pieces of the previous night started to come back. He went to Go, a club in the...

Novel Treatments / The Prize Fighter: Chapter Eight
Version 1
2 Reviews   0 Comments
Michael’s hand was nearly swallowed by Boone’s paw when they slapped hands and banged shoulders. “How come Dante’s not here?” Michael asked. “Workin’,” Boone replied with a shrug. “He’s in a session. Matter of fact, he just called me and asked if I could bring you over to watch.” “Watch?” Michael’s voice went up an octave as he raised an eyebrow. “What the fuck for?” “He thinks you could use a break. And he thinks you would like to see how your backers pay for all this shit.” “He doesn’t nee...

It was supposed to be a third “off-day” in a row for Michael, an opportunity to rest and recover from the punishment he took three days before. The first day after he beat David Moyez in six rounds, he slept. The second, he hung around his cramped apartment and relaxed. By his third off day he was bored as hell, so he threw on his DSG sweatshirt and sweatpants and decided to go to the gym. He figured Dutch would be thrilled to see him – the gym’s membership had more than tripled in the last ...

The hollow pop of cork form a champagne bottle echoed through the locker room as Dutch cheered and poured some into a plastic cup. He handed the cup to Michael before hastily pouring another frothy cup for himself. Dutch shouted again as they knocked their cups together so hard, they were both left with less than half a cup. There was much to celebrate. “To Mike,” Dutch said, raising his glass in the air with a shaky hand. “This is the first step.” “Damn right,” Michael said as he sipped the...

Novel Treatments / The Prize Fighter: Chapter One
Version 1
19 Reviews   6 Comments
One by one, people steamed into the Manhattan Center, taking advantage of the empty seats just behind the reserved ones separated by a velvet rope. It was still early, and the first fight hadn’t started yet; the room lights were still up. The main event – John Corvin vs. Jason Hammer for ten rounds – wouldn’t start for at least another hour, but the early comers wouldn’t be denied an under card fight, especially if they paid for the whole night. Corvin had been tearing up the middleweight di...

Short Story / Mama
by kimz_twstd
I'm really sorry, but there's not much to go on. There's not enough here to give it any kind of rating as a short story. As a description of a character, it works well enough, but without context -- such as the first chapter of the book you're trying to write -- there's not much to go on in terms of judging this.

Short Story / Easier on the way down
by JohnCuando
A very interesting opening. I like the short, abrupt intro of three words. It's a good way to drop you directly into the action. I also like the description of your main character. You gave us a very good sense of who he was in less that twenty words. That's a hell of a feat considering this character will be supporting your story. The way you expose this story lends to asking questions, such as "why is this guy insisting on wlaking in the desert/mountains alone?" and "is he trying to kill hi...
Sci Fi & Fantasy / Fin-Chpt 1 & 2
by FrakKevin
I've noticed a tendency to tell your reader how confused/stressed/tense the characters are, and through that how confused/stressed/tense the reader should be. your character ABBA gives someone "the stink eye." To me, calling it that lends a very informal air to what's a apparently a very serious moment going on around that. There seems to be a lot going on prior to the few pages that make up your opening chapters. While i'm all for dropping the reader into the situation without a parachute, b...
Novel Treatments / My New Life in New York City
by Betty13
Being a native New Yorker, I may have been a little biased toward your serialization about your experience. I was able to vividly see every scene, location and character you mentioned. I know these people, I am these people. Thee bad thing though is that not everyone who reads this is going to be from New York, so a little more description of some of the places you mention, or maybe your reaction to them upon first sight, would go a long way in conveying the sense of awe you might have had, o...
