About Me

I'm a 21-year-old writing student at UW-Milwaukee, living, loving and writing on the East Side. I was once called "The most promising young writer of our generation." Granted, it was just some drunk guy in a bar saying it. Still, props is props.

I have a deep and abiding disrespect for your most closely-held ideals and morals.

Good afternoon!


Have you heard of �mapping�? It is a technique, to develop fictional writing. Mostly used for story/novel writing, but it can also be applied to poetry. It is a great way to develop your creativity and find new sources of inspiration.

Good morning!

We had the pleasure of enjoying some wonderful pieces for the last challenge. Oxymorons can certainly be fun!

Now this week�s challenge is a little different.

As writers, we have to play many different roles to successfully market our works. From sales persons, to marketers, to advertisers we have to manage to develop a series of skills to promote our work and make sure someone gets to read it. I believe as writers, our ultimate goal is to have someone to �listen� to what we have to say.

What would you say if you had to sell a concept that people do not think about too often? Concepts that are embedded deep inside of us, and that as writers we usually ponder many times. How would you make someone �buy� them?

I hope you have fun and enjoy it.

Have a great day!

Good morning!


The last challenge was short, but we all got some good laughs out of it. Hope you got to enjoy reading some of them. ;)

Have you heard of oxymorons? They make for some great word play. Check the new challenge and see for yourself!

Life gets crazy sometimes, and we can�t always participate by creating. But remember to stop by and show your fellow writers some support by voting near the end of the week. You have time to post until Sunday, and to vote until Monday 2pm EST.

I hope you are having a great day!

Enjoy!

Good morning!

I hope your week is going great. This week�s challenge is arriving a little late due to some technical difficulties, but it�s here and ready for you to have some fun.

Underground Writers Network ~ Challenge #8
