Poem, Second grade

Posted on by darkstone8

This is a poem I wrote in second grade a very long time ago.  I was very proud of it when I wrote it.

The Pumpkins Bad Day:  by Jason Marcellus Hampton

One day a pumpkin went out to play,

and his friends said

lets get out of the way

because Jerry is angry today.

He’ll roll like a boulder

and roll over everyone

and they will say

do not get in the way

because Jerry is angry today.

He will bite and fight

and tell people to take

a hike and everyone will say

don not get in the way because

Jerry is angry today.

Digital Magazine Take Two

Posted on by darkstone8

So I have been getting educated by my best friend (Sean Jersett) on Indesign and was given some pointers on how to get started.

Now I need to come up with a name and an outline for the interior. I have a lot of ideas for the interior, but there is no way I will be able to fit everything in there.

I hope to have something solid within the month. We will see how it goes. For now, let the brainstorming commence. More to come…

Digital Magazine

Posted on by darkstone8

Along with the many projects I am working on, I want to make a small digital magazine.  Mainly dealing with fantasy writing, with some poetry, maybe an interview or two.  I want to spot light someone every issue so that person or persons can have another means of getting their projects out there.  I have to consult with a few of my graphic design friends and see what will be needed to start up.  I’m pretty confident I can manage something like this on a small scale for now.  Is there anyone out there that has tried this? How hard do you think it would be?  I will definitely touch base on this again soon.  Maybe start designing a cover and find a sweet name to go along with it.  More to come…
