INDEX REVAMPED
ONE PICTURE ADDED

I am in the process of reconstructing my frontpage. Bear with me (as if you have a choice)

I've come to two realizations as of late:
1.) The poems that I wrote in high school and even some from early college SUCKED and they no longer represent me... because, as with all people, I'm no longer the same old Dave. So I removed some. Maybe they'll make an appearance later on in our collective lifetime. Recontemplated and rewritten...

2.) I no longer even look the same as I used to. So I'm going to be scanning newer pictures onto the webpage gradually and, perhaps, you will get to see that which I have turned into. Sorry for removing the past from your sight. If you TRULY want to see it again, let me know. Maybe I'll let you in on a bit of it :-p

Writer:
I'm not sure whether or not I can still legitimately call myself a writer. I haven't really written anything noteworthy in about a year. Sure. There's the occasional journal entry. The occasional poem for Deborah. The occasional first chapter of a story that is supposed to come out great. But still... Nothing I could ever show another human being besides the one it was written for.
This writer's block is more like a wall than a simple block. And it came quickly and suddenly. I was about 125 pages into my most recent fantasy novel, entitled Fields of Elwood, and I decided to look back at what I had done so far. Much to my amazement, everything I had put down so far was HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. I'm pretty sure I burned that manuscript.
Most recently, I have decided that fantasy is not my field. I'm much better at finding the bizarre in average life than creating that strangeness. My latest project involves a collection of creative non-fiction stories. The premise: how much stupid shit I've done. It'll be an enlightening read.

Reader:
No good writer has ever not been a good reader. At least in my opinion. My greatest writing influences, you ask? Well...
Stephen King, Michael Crichton, E.L. Doctorow, J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling

Editor:
When I graduated from college in May 2003, I did what any writer who happens to be on a six-month writer's block does. I went to work as an Editor for a very large corporation. The particular company that I work for is called Element K. GREAT company. Great job.
Nevertheless, I plan to start up my own free-lance editing business on the side. It's just that this job lacks the one-on-one, teaching aspect, which is what I love so much about being an editor. Plus, when it comes times for me to have kids, I can take a leave from the office and work from home for a while.
Needless to say, let me know if you have anything you need edited. We'll figure something out.

IS COOL, BY THE WAY (in case you were unaware...)

NOTE:
You'll hopefully notice the "Shadoz Edge" link toward the bottom of the page. They're a badass hard rock/metal band out of Chicago that I was lucky enough to get to know. Anyway, their music is FREE and open to the public, but you have to go to the webpage. Check it out.

I know I'm forgetting stuff, but too bad for me. Check out the links. They're below Kirk...
