New Tricks

It is an exclusive secret if one knows a muse and it is an even more exclusive ability if said person is able to channel her beauty. For most people, seducing a muse is no easy task. It takes a special kind of creative mind to attract the personification of art. Frequently, the rigorous process of invoking one of the muses often involves a set of rituals that resemble courtship displays. Muses demand undying attention and affection from their vessel before they will allow themselves to flow through a mortal instrument and onto a medium of art. In those rare …

Creative Writing Minor Portfolios

This portfolio is a collection of my favorite original pieces of fiction and creative nonfiction I wrote during my time as an undergraduate student at Cedarville University. One nonfiction piece I wrote, “Ice Cream Identity,” was published in the Summer/Fall 2013 edition of SNReview. All of my pieces reflect me trying to make sense of different areas of my life, moments I have been through or seen happen to others.

Adam's Race, And Other Writings, Eric C. Skowronski

Creative Writing Minor Portfolios

This collection is the culmination of four years as a Creative Writing minor at Cedarville University. It features four short stories which exemplify my own focus on fiction writing. It also includes an introduction, which gives some personal background behind my creative writing, and a foreword, which discuss my view of my Christian faith as it relates to creative writing, and fiction in particular.

Calling All Spirits, Jesse A. Silk

Creative Writing Minor Portfolios

Calling All Spirits showcases an exploration into the more uncanny aspects of life. In both fiction writing and poetry, this collection essentially wanders into various aspects of the post- Enlightenment societal void and communicates different characters and personas grasping at a more wholesome, organic existence amidst the processed and sometimes degradative confusion of contemporary life. Through offering different perspectives and putting words to multiple concerns, a goal of Calling All Spirits is to prioritize the works over any less important concerns about, for example, how closely a poem’s speaker resembles the author. Allowing a writer to freely voice a concern …

Life, Love, And Lost Smiles, Ashley V. Matthew

Creative Writing Minor Portfolios

This collection is a compilation of poetry, non-fiction and fiction writing. The works in this collection are inspired by many subjects including personal lifetime events, friends, dreams and more. This collection, entitled “Life, Love & Lost Smiles” symbolizes some of the many things that have personally shaped my life and helped me become not only the writer, but the person that I am today.
