Jun. 7, 2005 - Check This Writing OUT!

"The blood slowly dripped off his finger as he looked at it with an indifferent stare. A maroon stain had newly formed on the dark blue carpet below as it absorbed the red tears - but no one cared. Monotonous telephone conversations - ticking of the clock - apathetic discussions - the fragrance of the room reeked with painful dreariness."  ~ David Rojas

Okay, so it needs a little editing. But I LOVE this guy's writing style, especially that last sentence! Not all of his writing sounds like blood-and-guts-murder-mystery (actually, this paragraph had nothing to do with a murder mystery, as you'll find out if you follow the link to his blog) - he can morph from riotously humorous to profoundly serious in a matter of sentences. Some of his humor does go right over my head... but the best thing about David's work is his frank realism - as refreshing as it is honest - an entertaining look at the mind of a promising young author. Watch for his book in the future!
