Alright? Reid here.

So, sorting this page out has involved a lot of deleting stuff. Basically, it had to be of passable quality and the right side of "too personal" to stay. Some stuff still needs editing to be of passable quality but at least I can see the potential for it. Some stuff had its description edited for various reasons. Anyway, there's now only about 50 up. If I deleted something you particularly liked, I apologise; I may be able to send you a copy of it at some point if you like. (I doubt anyone will miss the pieces that are gone, though, I don't.)

Good news is, there's a lot of stuff I'm sitting on. Phase two is going to be adding all that. This will include my first year portfolio plus some other bits and pieces. I'm going to do it with maximum drama and fanfare, maybe a submission every week or something. So, yes, I am returning! If you fancy feeding my ego, I have a twitter you can follow me on where I'll post links to the new stuff when it's up. And also tweet on about nonsense, of course. It's twitter, that's what it's for.

So, goodbye til I start at that, anyway.

it's the Reid here.

so it's been two and a bit years since I last updated DA, and lots has changed in my life. I've developed a taste for prose, and now I write it for my creative writing course at uni, which makes up 1/4 of my degree. the other 3/4 is criminology, which leads me to some interesting discoveries, some of which become things to write about. I'm no longer with Chey, who I believe has deleted much of her account in case somebody should find it.

But somebody might find mine, and I think it's important that anyone that knows me now realises that I'm not the same person that wrote a lot of my poems; I'm, well, better. I don't hold as many stupid or strong views and I think I've matured in general. For example, now I use punctuation and capital letters and shit like that, it's AMAZING

I'm toying with the idea of a big return to DA, which would mean submitting work from my first year portfolio and other stuff I have lying around, but I don't know if that will actually happen. I mean, it seems like an awful lot of effort, for one thing.

Anyway, you might want to start watching this space again.

Here's something.

Every time I write a poem, I'll wait a week before I put it on here. If I forget to stick it on DA, it probably wasn't worth it anyway.

Sound fair?

Good.

So my computer is in various stages of broken at the moment. I seem to have fixed it today, but I'm not sure quite what's happened. I changed some BIOS power management settings and the computer booted for the first time in a long time, but really slowly. Then I reset to BIOS defaults and now it seems to be working just fine.

So you might see some new stuff from me soon, then.

Why are you looking here? All the poems are on the left.

& I really do like I Am Trying To Break Your Heart by Wilco.
