Noticing Newbies

Hello. My name is Dan. I have been a member for over a year, but have not been particularly active. I am 22 and am going to be entering Columbia College in Chicago as a fiction writing major. For that reason, I am looking for comments and criticism of my writing. I have just posted some new things, a couple poems and the beginning of what i hope will be my first novel. I'd really appreciate some feedback. I will return the favor. Thanks.
