COSMONAUTiCAL•net writing

Writing has always been my hobby. At times, it has even been my passion. When I was younger, I wrote mostly fiction - mostly fantasy - and poetry, though as I've gotten older my interest has shifted to nonfiction and analysis.

In high school, I attended the Young Vermont Writers Conference in 2006 and 2007. Since 2004, I have participated in the National Novel Writing Month, and won twice (2005, 2007). Some of my fiction can be found at perfect worry, though please be aware that most of it is unedited and written for the amusement of myself or a few friends.

The writing I am sharing here is of a more serious variety. All of these essays were originally written for class, though some have been revised with input from the professor. The archive is in reverse-chronological order.
