writings
I've been known to write from time to time in my life. While I'm proud of what I show here, I do think I can improve even more through new works.
The majority of the poetry you will find was written in the spring of 2009, while I was preparing My Big Phat Gay Musical. The poems were reflective of the things I was thinking about at the time - like gay and lesbian issues, being an artist, loving my boyfriend, etc.
I have written two stories: Patience and Older Guys. Both are dark stories and should only be read by adults who enjoy horror and/or
intense, graphic scenes. I have been a huge fan of the 'paperback horror' genre and have always wanted to be a novelist like Richard Laymon, Stephen King or Dean Koontz. Perhaps, some day, I will fulfill that dream!
You can also read the entire script for My Big Phat Gay Musical. It's the one musical that I wrote from top to bottom. The other two musicals had their own script/story writers.
I am in the process of developing online education in songwriting. So far, I have created the beginnings of an 'edWeb' (i.e., a small educational website). The title of the edWeb is self-explanatory: Using an Image to Write a Song. It's meant to be done as a group, but an individual can follow along and produce the same result.
I have also designed a unique modification of Settlers of Catan to teach students about songwriting, focusing on buidling different types of songs (e.g., pop hit, love song, masterpiece) by parts (e.g., verse, chorus, bridge, intro/ending).
Finally, I have a bunch of lists that I'm compiling. These are lists of my favorite movies and music, etc.
