I am a Special Education major, but writing is my first love. I have been writing and telling stories for as long as I can remember. To me, there is no better outlet for emotion than the written word. I’ve done proofreading and editing, performed spoken-word poetry, competed in Slams, and I am currently President of The Swamp Scribes; the creative writing club of SCF Venice campus. If you want to get to know me more, the best way is to read my work because I put my heart into everything I write. =)

I am a photographer, and I enjoy exploring fellow photographer’s works. I decided to take Magazine Production to see what it is like on the other side of the submission guidelines.
Daniel Flood
Hi I’m Daniel,
I decided to take Magazine Production II because,well I took the first one and went great. I wanted to understand the idea of writing poetry and short stories, and being able to be a part of a online Literacy Magazine is awesome. Also I forced my girlfriend into the second one =P, the benefits are amazing. As for me I don’t write much. I would like to start up again one day with the added a billion other things I want to do. But I read a lot of books and love criminal justice, Police, Military movies, Science Fiction and more. I’m a guy which means l love guns, cars, women, especially my girlfriend 
one day I’ll be a Police Officer or Video game designer. Music is a Passion as well from Orchestra, Rock. Another passion of mine is gaming, I have a Xbox 360 a ps3 and i have my computer back =D. On a good note my girlfriend wants me to get into Taekwondo, but classes are expensive so we wrestle privately which is a bonus =P, hopefully I don’t make her mad and we start sparing in the kitchen or something like in the movies Like Mr. and Mrs. Smith =P. My Favorite color is blue, and my dream car is a 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback, like from the movie Gone In 60 Seconds, the gray and Black Stripe Eleanor
Well that’s it. That is what you ought to know about me
from my last staff bio it states ( I love…. [ Asian boys ] ) this is a typo. but this made me laugh
Now please leave
Michelle Valkov
Hi, I’m Michelle. Nice to meet you, the sky is blue and the grass is green. Today’s a good day. Writing has been my passion most of my life and well, there’s not much to say about me other than that I love sweet things, everything from sweet people to sweet desserts. Come on, who doesn’t like cupcakes? Anyways, I’ve finished two semesters and plan to finish my General A.A and transfer to a univeristy. I’m not sure where yet, but hopefully a place I can pursue my Bachelor’s in Creative writing and possible become an editor or author of an amazing book one day. Alright, stop wasting your precious life and go discover! 🙂
What I Miss
By: Megan Finsel
I wish
I might
fold my heart up
and tuck it in an envelope,
to send you all my love as if
we weren’t miles apart.
For the little things,
are what I miss.
As simple as
your hand
holding
mine
tighter
when I
feel like
letting go
of
it
all.
Bio: I’m a Special Education major with a love for books. Writing is my passion; it is how I connect with the world and share my thoughts and emotions. To get to know me more you need to read my stories because I put a piece of my heart into each one. My goal is to inspire at least one person through my work; then I know I’ve done my job.
Maiden Fair
By: Jack
Late into night the shout rang out
And echoed off the trees
With deep timbre and pleading tone
The shout soon found the sea
With rolling waves and mighty gust
The shout was carried far
And passed a simple fishing boat
Long guided by the stars
The shout seemed lost amid the vast
Ocean’s unceasing roar
Until a bright beacon of light
Did call it to the shore
The shout renewed its strength to fly
Past light and snoring man
Who shuddered in his sleep as if
He’d heard to where it ran
Scuttling over rock and lee
A castle it soon found
With princess pining for her knight
And crying without sound
Yet all tears dried when she did hear
The faint voice of her knight
Fair head held high and face now dry
New hope to bring her light
Cherries
By: Priyam Patel
I watched from afar.
Silky blonde,
dangerously curvy,
oh, Lord.
I saw her yesterday.
Tight blouse,
button undone,
oh, Lord.
Her veins draped her soft skin.
Royalty, she was.
Her skin looked so soft.
Gosh, how easily it could be sliced open.
I wanted to lay in a field of roses.
Nothing but roses,
and the sweet smell of honeydrew
and satin.
Tell me, does it taste as good as it looks?
Oh lord.
HERON
By: Theresa Smith-Ennis
He stands majestic in the reeds
Blue and gray and proud
He stands alone but watchful
His feathers rustle in the breeze
He stands a moment, longer still
A twitch begins to stir
He stands so silent, quiet
As the air begins to chill
He’s standing as he spreads his wings
A king against the sun
He takes off on his timeless flight
A new journey has begun
Sassy
By:Alexis Gualandri
A sassy siren with a tasty touch of alluring aggression.
A terrible tease with a catastrophic class,
She’s a scurvy sailor stumbling through an orchard ocean.
“Salutations, you fantastic fuck” sung from a sweet sexy smile
A luscious lunatic with a deliciously discombobulated desire with a radical rambunctious rump
that marvelously moves.
Scandalously shaped in a worthless world
The New Puppy
By: Paul Grayson, Shane RePed, Jack McDalley
My dog is a swirling flame
A furry fury of terror,
Furricane
Leaving a wake of eaten shoes
Gutted Pillows
And gnawed hats
She shows us her excited love.
Mi Amore/My Love
By: Rachel A. Tate
Ver su sonrisaes como sentir los reyos del sol.
Tanto calentar el alma.
Para mirarla a los ojos es mirar a los ojos a los cielos.
Ambos peuden hipnotizar.
Su tacto es como de los angeles.
Siendo ambos extasis.
Su voz es mas preciosa que el sonido de las aguas corriente.
Tanto dar descanso al alma.
Ella es mas bella que los árboles del otoño.
Ambos son radiante.
Su amor esta mas alla de las palabras, se compara arriba.
Su nombre es Rabecca, ella es mi amore!
My Love
To see her smile is like feeling the sun rays.
Both warm the soul.
To look into her eyes is like looking into the heavens.
Both can hypnotize.
Her touch is like the touch of the angels.
Both bring ecstasy.
Her voice is more beautiful than the sound of running water.
Both give rest to the soul.
She is more beautiful than the trees of Fall.
Both are radiant.
Her love is beyond words, none can compare.
Her name is Rabecca, she is my love!
