Edgar Cabot, WASP Psycho
My Writings
I’ve always deeply enjoyed reading and writing. I most enjoy reading classic literature, philosophy, children’s picture books, and comic books. I write science fiction and fantasy for fun. I used to keep a daily journal but I’ve lost the habit.
I’ve grouped writings on this site into five categories:
- A Very Rich Hour is where I’ve put daily thoughts, missives, and foolishness.
- Script Writing is all the scripts I wrote when I studied Broadcasting at SF State
- Edgar Cabot, WASP Psycho is a character based on myself if I were a serial killer (I’m not.) Some of these writings are for Adults Only.
- Homo Erotica: Lyrical Gay Filth seems fairly self-explanatory and is also for Adults Only.
- Hope in View: HIV Fiction is stories about my friends living with HIV. There is some Adults Only content here, too.
