...the city vertical...

the vertical belies that within
upon the staid dress
glass stretch parallel
framing lives
behind

verdancy is a crime otherwise
for stone is what we crave
bound and bonded with
electric
and steel

the common risen to parnassas
denied once and once more
I descend instead
forgotten
alone

...these things are on wattpad...

...moved Miss Kitty over to Wattpad.  I like the way WP conforms it in a traditional format (apart from a blog where the linear nature can be compromised at times).  I'll also wrap all of these stories through the end of November.  Already have new chapters building every couple of days.

...September the Barbarian...

...playing around with a story, "Charlie Guest", on Wattpad.  It dips in and out of first and third person, as Charlie 'races' to find some stolen hard drives for a guy named McMillan.  Having fun with something that is a gated blog, essentially.  Appreciate all who check it out.

Also moving the story "Numbers Game" over so I can piecemeal that one as well.  Like that it is easier to publish as I'm a centaur on the go.

...August, the Conqueror...

...apologies if the site has been dormant for a few weeks.  My little sister has gone off and gotten married which put everyone's lives in the midst of le grand fete for a few weekends.  Fun for sure, and many adventures had with the family.  They are now resting comfortably as husband and wife, I'm sure with many dreams to be had on the horizon.

The little time I've had has been attempting some minor poems and many photos.  It has been the tail end of summer and necessitated some respite for my family, or they would threaten me with grumpy stares for many a day.  I'll post some of the shots when time permits.  I was able to re-charge the batteries between the hectic duplex of my 'life'.

Griffith Observatory - not my sister and brother-in-law, totally random!

WATTpad has been of interest to me, so I'm migrating a few of my shorter stories, still gestating, over to the site.  Right now, Numbers Game is on the site, and I'll try this whole 'chapter at a time thing'.  If anything, there's a ton of teen writers cutting their chops, so it is interesting to see this burgeoning media take off.

Actively, I'm still working on Pace and Filipino Cookbook and a one more short sundry book called Songs for Perfecia.  I'm trying to wrap up some home projects and be able to spend the holidays roughly approximating work.  My video projects are a brewing too; this weekend was one last crazy before some normalcy.
