I write poetry. My pet peeve is writing which doesn't follow basic rules of spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and usage. I'll never believe that a poem of anything other than 14 lines of iambic pentameter is a sonnet. I enjoy watching DVDs with my wife, writing (obviously), reading (else I couldn't write), producing chapbooks, making videos, constructing what I call audio stories, oil painting (not recently but I want to), doing special fx makeup/mechanical fx/digital fx with still images (starting to work w/ video effects), and almost anything that produces something new. I truly wish I were as creative as my family and friends claim.
