I started out hoping to be a famous poet. Then I decided I’d rather be a wealthy lyricist. Having accomplished neither, I am now working on my first novel.
Amazon.com has sold a few copies of my book of poetry; “Heroes, Lovers, Hobos, Others”. However, it’s never been on any best-seller lists. I hope to finish my novel by summer.

“ …kid is tattooed from his head down to his toes. He claims that trouble follows him everywhere he goes.” Billy Joe Shaver “People and their Problems” Old Acquaintance I had been in my new location long enough to be settled in, but not long enough for the clients to be finding me regularly. Of course, I never had been in an office long enough for the clients to find me regularly, so that isn’t a big surprise. Even so, I like the office. It’s conveniently located on the second floor of a two ...

Verse 1 The first time someone ever broke my heart, She was a red haired beauty from Duluth With dancing green eyes and racy red lips Which never told the truth. I always tried my best to forgive her Every time that she told me a lie. But forgiving does not mean forgetting, No matter how hard that I might have tried. Chorus: There are three sure ways that a heart can be broken, With a lie, with the truth or with words unspoken. However it happens, one thing remains certain, No words ever stop...

This is an interesting essay; flawed in several ways, but interesting. I love how you threw in the I have homosexual friends disclaimer. You do realize how irrelevant that is, I hope. I won't nitpick every false statement in this response, Instead, I'll simply cherry pick a few of the more obviously false ones. "Homosexual marriage is wrong, for a deception layers the eyes of all; those who oppose it (heterosexuals) and those who welcome it (homosexuals)." The absurd argument that all heteros...

Poetry / Angel of Brixton
A little vulgar for my taste, but I love the line "shoulders thrown like punches" I also liked the irony of using the word 'angel' in the title when the poem clearly is not about somebody being an 'angel'. At least, not an 'angel' in the eyes of the narrator. The men in her life might well see her as angel, at least for the night.
Awesome. The emotional attachment to the riding and the friends made riding simply explode off the page. I've never been on a bike, but every word just immediately and perfectly related to a twenty year passion I had for my sport. I'm sure that anybody reading this will relate it immediate to whatever their passion once was. One thing I would suggest (and it may not work given the machismo associated with bikers) would be to progress the "something my eyes" from be certain their not tears, to...
Non-fiction / Letting Fear Go
Interesting mind over matter kind of solution to conquering fear. I don't know how accurate the format is on the page that I am reading, but it is a little hard to follow along the way it is laid out. The way I am reading it now the entire article appears to be 3 long paragraphs. It would be easier to read if it were actually broken down into steps to follow. Or break it down by the self-questions followed by the examples. This section for example: To begin with: ask yourself what triggered y...
Crime, Thrillers & Mystery / The Friday House - Chapter Two
This chapter did achieve the goal of peaking my curiosity. I would definitely stick with this book through at least 2 more chapters to see if it could hook me completely. Having said this, however, this chapter was a bit tedious to get through before the action happened at the end. I don't know if the tedium came from too much background information being thrown out or from the alliteration of the family's names. Margaret, Matthew, Marsha and Marshall. Yikes! All those M sounds in my head whi...
