# About me
I define myself as a writer, but a writer is defined by her body of work. I look over my body of work for the past year and wonder how I could ever call myself a writer. It’s been a year of opportunities and inspiration, and what do I have to show for it? Nothing. I have nothing to show for it.I measure my personal success by the competitions I enter and the feedback I get from those. Deadlines approach and I have nothing to enter. Nothing worthy, anyway. The only writing I’ve done this year will never see the light of day. Actually, I take that back. The writing I’ve done this year, I’m comfortable sharing with complete strangers, hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet, but I would never allow eyes to view it that could also see my face. Never let anyone read it who might also know me. Never share it with anyone who might know my name. These pieces come from the part of my soul where God’s light doesn’t shine—or does it? I’ve always been told it doesn’t.
The part that kills me—that really eats me up inside—is that I’m proud of those pieces. Some of them are beautiful in their artistry. Some of them captured the characters with a clarity that can’t be replicated. In some, the words flowed with an artistic precision that was more reminiscent of poetry or music than prose. So what if they are taboo?
The so-what is that society frowns upon me and mine. So my art, my precious daydreams fleshed out with carefully chosen words, remains relegated to the shadows.
At least I’m not alone there.
No, never alone. I am not the only writer, only artist, banished to the dark corner of the room where we can’t get underfoot. We are society’s naughty step-children. They love their white, vanilla world, content to wallow in their misguided traditions.
But I like my chocolate. And I like my chocolate dark.
Current Residence: The interworkings of my head
Favourite genre of music: Pop/Rock/R&B

Personal Quote: "Hold your head high and be proud of who you are, no matter who that is." --Me

Silverfish: Chapter 2 He awoke in the infirmary. Memories jolted back into him and he tried to sit up, only to discover he'd been secured to the examination table. His wrists and ankles were restrained, and there were straps over his thighs, torso, and shoulders.
"Welcome back." Julian turned his head to see the captain staring at him. Her face was amused. "I was starting to think you were going to sleep all day."
"Go to hell." He yanked at the restraints.
She chuckled and patted his shoulder. Then she touched a button on the console. He screamed as pain shot through him like wildfire. She lifted her hand a few seconds later, leaving him gasping for breath. "That was rude." She glanced at the button. "The doctor assures me that I can jolt you for up to thirty seconds at a time without risk of

You're welcome. And only for very short bursts of time. But I should be slightly more active until July. That's when I'll be in London.

What are you up to in London? I went down there to see a gig earlier this year and it was amazing

It's funny to hear London described as 'abroad', although it does seem an entirely different country to me too!
When are you coming down, if you don't mind me asking?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You have to remember, I live in the United States.
I'll be there in July.

Bummer!
Thanks! I might have to invest in a new one. Mine is old and will probably break in the next stiff wind.

Bought a new umbrella tonight. It's collapsible, so it fits into my purse. I am now ready for London!

Just to be on the safe size - make sure you've got a waterproof jacket - if the wind gets up, no brolly will withstand it! At the moment though, the outlook's good, we've had some really nice sunny weather

I'm sad that you won't be continuing the story here on dA.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
First off, thank you for following my story!
It will continue! I hope that is some consolation for the time being. I've gathered everything I've written of the first draft and divided them into their own "stories," with each focusing on its particular set of characters. I'll be sitting down to write once I finish outlining each individual story.
I'll probably be looking for beta readers in the near future, so if you are interested, then keep your eyes peeled as I'll send out a call on here and Good Reads.
