My
Writings
Hi
there! Dave Garstang again! Here's where I share with you
a few bits and pieces of my writings. I'm not very
prolific as a writer, yet that little nagging voice keeps
telling me that I must do it. So far, I haven't gotten
that sincerest form of flattery (money!) for my writing,
but then, I haven't completed very many, and the number
I've sent in is even smaller.
So, on to
the writings!

ESSAYS AND NON-FICTION
Why
I Write -- A short essay about
the defining moment for me as a writer.
SCIENCE FICTION
The copyright issues about
items "published" on the Internet is still a gray
area. For those items I still have hopes of getting published
some day, therefore, I must be a bit "cagey". If
you are interested in reading some of my works to provide me
with critique, feel free to E-mail me at Garstang@ElectriCiti.com for more information.
The Boatman -- So who is this Charon fellow anyway, and
what's he doing floating four feet above my front lawn? A
very short story, inspired by Alan Parsons and Bill Gates. (I
mean, honestly, how many of you read the Microsoft license
agreement before clicking "OK" ... ?)
Wizards of Aaralin -- "Any sufficiently advanced
technology …" Clarke said it best, but it bears
repeating. Here's the prologue and a brief summary of my
novel-in-progress.
POETRY
I
Went Down -- Inspired by and
dedicated to my Web friend, Skeleton. May his search for
meaning bring good things to the world, and to him.
Little Heartbeat -- One of the defining moments in my journey
toward becoming a dad occurred early in my wife's first
pregnancy, when a nurse helped me to hear the heartbeat of
our developing child for the first time. Sure, it's sappy,
but hey, that's how I was feeling.
CHILDREN'S FICTION
Grimmies in the Closet -- Hey, what's eating you?? Written for my
wonderful daughter, Jennifer, when she was six.
