General Writings

"Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of - but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards." - Robert A. Heinlein


This is the spot for my general writings. Here you can find short stories, poetry, dramatic sketches, and perhaps some day even some excerpts from that novel that I've been intending to write for longer than I care to admit. Enjoy! You can also find my erotic stories at Literotica.com (Please vote!)
