Sheet of Flame

As the title states, I've taken another look at an older story I wrote for Jackman's W203 Creative Writing class years ago and made some much needed revisions. I've kept both the older version and the newer version listed in my Works, so the changes should be pretty evident. I'm updating the site a little here and there. Aesthetically, mostly, but stuff that should have been done a long ...

This story is a bit longer than my usual ones. I'm submitting it for a scholarship contest at IUS, so here's hoping it's good. Feedback, as always, is welcome. Klein's making or will be making a cover for it in a similar fashion to To Catch the Rain. The cover can be found on this page under the print tab: Portfolio. Here is the story: Foundling.

Well, I made a promise to myself when I purchased this website that I wouldn't let a week pass without writing something new. So, this is more of a draft than a real short story, but I think people will forgive me. None of this is meant to be published, I just want to become a better writer and see what people think more than anything. The things ...

I think I figured out the best way to do this. Just make a "blog" post when I upload a new story, but upload it as a "page." Man, it's like I'm intelligent or something. Will probably be going through and redoing all the old content this way. EDITED: You can now find this story under the Bibliography tab up top. - Bishop

An older story, one of the first I wrote, and obviously something of a fan fiction. I'm slowly dredging up my online writing from the past five years, so it could take some time to post it all. I'm also trying to figure out exactly how many words need to be in this opening so that my story doesn't show up here. Pretty difficult to find out, actually. ...

I swerve out of the way, just barely missing him, and later I would think that he must’ve walked in front of me. A stream of cars pass by, swerving away from me this time, as I’ve managed to stop halfway between lanes. He comes up on the right of my car, all smiles, and apologizes as best he can in the storm. It’s a slight grin and ...

“I’m not so sure about this, man.” “Your first bust?” “Yeah.” “Listen, Mack, it’s really not that hard. You walk up to the guy, act casual, and just ask.” “Yeah, but what if he knows?” “What if he knows what?” “What if he catches on?” “You think we would have gotten this far if they’d even had an inkling?” “I guess not… Still. Meeting out here is kind of creepy.” “Them’s the breaks, kiddo. Just the kind ...

Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2006 I’m so tired lately. Not really sure why. I guess it could be all the pounding from Aberman’s upstairs. I think he’s a sculptor or something. Watched Fight Club again today. I remember how I used to love the book. I wonder if I still have it. Edward Norton is quite possibly my favorite actor. Brad Pitt adds to it, I guess, but Edward Norton ...
