I've added an old poem, and a new poem. Old: Short and Untitled. New: My Love For You. The former was written in November of 2010, and the later was written tonight. So, YAY! for new writings!
I do plan on continuing to write more! Forcing myself to at least follow a 30-minutes-a-day plan. Find a writing prompt, and just go. We'll see where that gets me. Most of that will end up on my writing.com site. Keep an eye there for some new stuff!

I know. I know. Its been 14 moths. A very long 14 months. But very little writing. I say this just about every time I post something, but I hope this kick-starts something, where I can get writing again.
Anyway...
I just added a short poem I wrote within the last month. Its called Listening To Love Songs. Give it a look!

I just posted something I wrote about a month ago. Just a short poem. Little Chance.

Well. I have been without internet since the end of October, so I haven't had access to update. Some news:
I have found that the NavBar had a bad "stories" link. Thats all fixed (I hope), now.
And since its the new year, my resolution is to write a lot more, and try some new things with my writings. And I've been writing a lot without the internet to distract me. With that said, I have a new "story" uploaded. It's another one with some material that isn't suitable for those under the age of 18. If you meet that requirement, here is the story: An Evening For Him.
I have also been writing my NaNo from 2010. Yes. My NaNo from 2010 never got finished, and I even tried to use 2011s NaNoWriMo to write this story, but I was still way off from the needed 50,000 words. It is still a long way from 50k, but It's coming along. I'm not sure if it'll ever hit 50k, but I'll see how close it gets.
Thats it for now. Happy reading!
Justin!

I have updated all (I think) of the comment pages and (again... I think) all of the NavBars. It has been a long afternoon of working and I think I'm done for today. If you find any broken links or pages that aren't updated, please let me know via email.
Justin!
10/18/2011 - 11:11PM
I'm right on schedule. Updated all the comment links for all my stories. Tomorrows job? 30 poems. Oh. And update the navbar on all the pages.
Wish me luck!
Justin!
10/18/2011 - 3:37PM
I've started to add the comments section in. I've only added it to the lyrics for now. The stories comments section will most likely get done some time tonight, and the poems comments section tomorrow night or Thursday. Im looking for an easier way to send the forms to my email or to have them posted, but as I don't do much but basic HTML, it might take a while.
Justin!
10/17/2011 - 10:45PM
Well. As you might (or might not) have noticed, I have updated all the URLs of my writings. no more "short" titles as the URL. If you're looking for "Beautiful. Perfect. Love", its new URL is http://justinswritings.tripod.com/stories/beautifulperfectlove.html. No Capitals. No punctuation. Just the title as the URL.
Oh. And I'm working on a new system for comments. I haven't updated the forums EVER, so I'm scrapping that idea. This new idea will be a lot easier for both you and me. I hope you'll like it! It should be up in a few days.
As an aside, as of today, I have: 10 lyrics, 30 poems, and 11 stories for a grand total of 51 writings. It has been a while since I've counted, and I figured I would give you all the updated numbers!
Justin!
09/27/2011 - 1:52PM
Just wrote a (very) small poem. Its linked here. Reminds Me.
That's really it for now. I haven't really been working on much. This is just something short that popped into my head about five minutes ago. So, enjoy.
Justin!
8/29/2011 - 8:27PM
I just did some editing and some more writing for the story I've been working on. It's not much, but its something. So at least I'm working on it.
Justin!
8/28/2011 - 12:17PM
Well. So much for that "perfect opportunity for me to start writing again". I've been staying with my parents who (because my mother has some secret love affair with Verizon, who don't offer service in their area) still have dial-up. So, I haven't been online to even attempt to get any writing done. Though, today, I updated a dead link I found. Every pages "home" link was broken from the move. So, at this point, I've got nothing.
Justin!
7/21/2011 - 3:50PM
Ok. I lied. I went through my writing.com site and found a poem that I've had lying around for a while. September 28th, 2010, to be exact. So, without further adieu, here is the poem Are You Ever Going to Love Me Again?. So, Enjoy!
But now, I'm working on what used to be my National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) novel, but I couldn't keep up with it. So, it's being written. But very slowly.
Justin!
7/21/2011 - 3:16PM
Well. It has been three months since I have "updated", and it's been over a year since I've actually updated with something of value. While I don't have anything of meaning to post, I do have some important information to give. I will (hopefully) be updating a lot more as I do not have a job. This is a perfect opportunity for me to start writing again and I will be trying to take full advantage of this. I've been going through a lot lately, so this will (hopefully) add to my creative juices flowing.
So, now, I will head over to my writing.com site to get going on some more writing.
Justin!
4/23/2011 - 9:28PM
So. This is the new and improved website for my writings. Well... Ok. It's new, but not really improved. But that is going to change! I'm working on upgrading a few of the features on the site, maybe even an Easter egg or 2! ;)
Justin!

I have just edited "A Lot of Catching Up" and it is good. I plan on writing a little bit today, but I don't think I'll get anywhere close to done the current story I'm working on. And other then that, I have nothing noteworthy to bring up.
Justin
7/11/2010 - 12:00AM
I have finally decided to go password protected, as you already see.
In other news, I am working on a story and its nowhere close to done. Working on anything now has become very hard due to work. So, for now, it is unfinished and will be for some time. I will have an update for you all (what few are out there) shortly.
Justin
4/1/2010 - 7:46PM
It was brought to my attention that a recent poem I had added (Why Do You Love Me?) wasn't linked right. I just fixed it. So, it's really there, now.
Justin
3/29/2010 - 10:24PM
I've started a new story. I don't have much, but its a start. And I plan on writing a lot in the near future. I'm in the process of moving, so I won't have internet after friday. Hopefully I'll have it within a week or two.
I'm off to write a little bit more before I pass out.
Justin
3/16/2010 - 8:47PM
I finally got around to posting that poem. The poem is called Why Do You Love Me?. Its there for the reading.
Enjoy.
Justin
3/14/2010 - 11:21PM
Its been a month. And from a few hours in that month, I have one new poem to show for it. At this moment, I do not have access to it (saved on my PC at home [currently at my girlfriends house]). But I promise, it will be added here before the end of the week. Im going through some personal changes right now, and hopefully, they will give me a bit more time to work on some of the writings I have started, but have yet to come close to finishing.
Justin
2/13/2010 - 1:07PM
I just added the story that I told you about the last post. Its called A Lot of Catching Up.
The girlfriend is ready to go, so that means I have to get moving. So, enjoy!
Justin!
2/2/2010 - 6:55PM
It's been over a year, and I thought I'd update. Though, in my defense, I've moved back to NJ and now have dial-up. So, here's the update.
I'm FINALLY getting back into writing. In a matter of a week, I've written a poem and a story. I just got them on my writing.com site, so, maybe before I'm 50, they'll make it here. In all seriousness, I've decided to, since I have started writing again, I'm going to do it often. So they should be be up in a week or so. But to hold you over until then, I'm posting two other writings. A poem: Never You, and a lyric A Girl Like You (this lyric was that "revived lyric" from the last update).
I have also updated the links to the comment boards, so please use them to the fullest capacity!
Enjoy!
Justin
12/13/2008 - 9:29PM
Its been 2 months, and all I have to show is the refrain to that "revived lyric". I've just been so busy with work, that I haven't had a lot of time to sit and write.
On an opposite note, I did just upload a "new" lyric; one that Nick and I wrote back in 2000. Something totally, stupidly fun. Its called Grandpa Joe, and you can find it there! Hope you like it!
Justin
10/14/2008 - 9:47PM
I started to write some brand new stuff, but it really never got off the ground, so to speak. So I decided to go through my old, dead writings. There, I decided to revive an old, dead lyric. This time, I will finish it!! I have totally restructured the lines, so it barely resembles the old lyric. With that said, lines were deleted, and lines were added; so all I have is the first verse and chorus. It will be finished soon, as I'm really making an effort to write more, since I am REALLY out of the groove.
On a totally random note, I would like to know if you read this. I don't care when, just, when you do, please drop me an email! jdowling.justinswritings@gmail.com. I would greatly appreciate it!
Justin
9/29/2008 - 9:26PM
I just added a poem that I wrote on Sunday. Its here. Its kinda short, but its good. I promise!
Justin
9/26/2008 - 7:46PM
It's really been a wile. Three months and two days. AKA: A long time. There has been a lot going on, and since there's been a lot going on, I haven't had any time to write anything. Hence, there has been no updates.
I've vowed that, since I have now graduated, I am going to start writing a lot more then I have been (which is not at all).
Dinner is ready, so this is the end of the update.
The End.
6/23/2008 - 10:15PM
Just a quick update. I posted a new story earlier called Just Like Every Other Friday Night. Its linked there for you.
A quick aside: As of today, I have 10 stories, 25 poems, and 8 lyrics for a total of 33 writings. Not as many as I thought I had, but still an impressive number.
Justin
6/12/2008 - 11:04PM
Im not one hundred percent sure when I posted a few new things, but I have. Its a poem called "My Heart", and its pretty harsh, so you've been warned. In other news, those two stories I was writing over a month ago, I haven't even come close to finishing them. So, for now, they're not getting done any time soon.
Thats it for now.
Justin
5/5/2008 - 6:02PM
So much for that "New Year's Resolution"... I haven't written much lately, as I've been working 40+ hours a week, plus 10-15 hours on top of that for classes. I have started a new story, and also have an outline of sorts for a second one, but my time for writing is lacking. A LOT! So, with that said, I'm off to try and write for an hour or so.
Thats the update for now.
Justin

I have just found out, since no one decides to watch the news, or the news just doesn't want to tell me, that the guy that killed Jessica Easter, pleaded guilty back in early November to homicide by vehicle, DUI, and drug charges. The link to the short article is here! http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=local&id=4723249

I have a page now in memory of the late Benny Parsons! One of the fifty greatest NASCAR drivers of all time, died earlier today from complications from lung cancer! He was 65 years old.
The link is just above the form on this page, or you can find it right here, at http://justinswritings.tripod.com/parsons.html!
Justin!
1/14/2007 - 8:12PM
I have two announcements to make:
1) I have finished my newest story, "Trading A Concert For A Date".
2) I have a spot online where you can read my works before they're done! http://www.writing.com/authors/kurioscowboy!! If you want, check it out!
Thats all for now!
Justin!
1/10/2007 - 11:44PM
I have finished the links to the picture page. If I have a dead-end link, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you!
Another update: I am still in the process of writing that story I was telling y'all about six days ago! I haven't gotten much more then two pages! It should be worked on tomorrow, since I dont have school!
Thats it for now!
Justin!
- 12:39AM
I just uploaded some pictures... the link is in my profile page until I become un-lazy and add the link to the main link bar! Yea... its time for bed and I have school in the morning! So it'll be done after that... sometime... like... tomorrow... the 11th or so! haha!
Peace Outside!
Justin!
1/4/2007 - 11:56PM
Hey Y'all! I was just reading my xanga and I found a poem I wrote back in May, 2006... So... its up now! Its called "In School"!
And that update... I have about a page done, and its not even close to being done! Plus I want to add details into what I have already! So I'll have it p when its done. I'll have all day to write tomorrow, as I don't have school!
Justin!
- 1:48PM
I have just started a story. "Just" as in about 20 minutes ago. I'll either have an update or the story for you later tonight. most likely the update, but there is a chance that this headache will go away, and I can get it finished, cause it is still early in the day!
Justin!
1/3/2007 - 8:43PM
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Um... since I'm in a somewhat weird mood today, I've added a poem that I wrote about 2 months ago. It's A bit out of my "range" so-to-speak... but I wrote it with a bit of help from a friends away message... So... here it is...
Subliminal Message
Have fun with it!
Justin!
12/5/2006 - 8:43PM
After getting a "profile" page up, and redoing all the links more then twice, I am taking a break from playing web designer! And making this site from scratch using HTML is a pain in the butt! At least freewebs had a thing where you type it and it puts it in code! haha! So, as I said, I'm taking a break from playing web designer. I might come up with something over the weekend, but no promises!
Justin!
- 4:17PM
I added my new lyric (Somethin' Missin') to the lyric page! Go read it! I have been told it is funny! And that was the point! To be funny! Its something that I am NOT in my lyrics or poems... So this is a once or twice in a lifetime thing!! HAHA!
That is it for now!
Justin!
12/4/2006 - 8:30PM
If you haven't noticed... The new website is up! I haven't exactly found all the bugs yet... but I'm working on it! If you find any, please IM me or email me @ JDowling@itt-tech.edu. Thank you!
Justin!
12/4/2006 - 10:22AM
Stopping in to tell y'all that I'm moving... Well... not me... but this site! It's already in the works, and should be up and running in the next week or so... "That long?" you ask!? Yea! It takes a wile to copy all my writings and put them up on the new site... then make links... then make sure everything is spelled right! Everything will basically be the same except the writings will be broken up into the 3 categories (stories, poems, and lyrics). So it will be up in the next week!
Justin!
P.S.: If you want to get a hint of what it will look like... see here!
11/16/2006 - 9:26AM
Just a quick note... I just wrote a story yesterday... Its up on here now...
poemsnomore... theres the link if you want it!
Justin!
PS: I have created a new page... I ran out of page space (freewebs only allows 20 pages on a site for free)!! Its freewebs.com/justinsworks2 ... the link is at the top of this page... also... old news is on the home page of that site!
11/10/2006 - 11:46PM
There Isn't much going on in the way of new stuff. There is a story I'm working on, but its going very, very, very slow. REALLY SLOW!!! So I don't have any general idea when it will be done.. let alone a specific date! If I had to make a guess... I'd say some time before Christmas!
Justin!
11/3/2006 - 2:57PM
This is going to be the longest update by me EVER! ... READY...? Ok.
There is NOTHING I'm working on.
Justin!
10/26/2006 - 5:02
The new song is now up! It's "Boys Night Out", or "stories/boys". Read it! It's good! That's it for now!
Justin!
10/23/2006 - 5:54PM
well... I've been lazy... & in Ohio, so I haven't been around & haven't even made an effort to finish the newest story I'm working on. I don't know... If you want to have some idea of whats going on, visit my xanga. You have to have an account and log in to see it, though. It has all the info. I can say at this time!
So, as of now, I'm working on that story. It'll be up when I'm done!
Justin!
10/16/2006 - 2:17PM
There is a new story in the works... I haven't worked on it in a wile, since I've been going through some personal things. I should start working on it today. Depending how much I work on it, it should be done before the months end.
Justin!
10/3/2006 - 1:23PM
I officially have the internet! It took Verizion a week (and a kick in the butt from me once or twice) to get everything straightened out, but its up now!
Theres no new works in the works... I'm feeling in the mood today, though. I guess, if I start now, they will be up in two days or so. Check back soon... they might even be up as soon as today...
Justin!
PS: GO BUY PILLARS "THE RECKONING" - OUT AS OF 12:01AM!! ITS THEIR BEST ALBUM YET! buy it @ Best Buy, Walmart, or your local Christian book store!! GO NOW!
9/21/2006 - 10:23AM
I just got on here, and I'm just letting y'all know that I'm adding some poems and that story that I've promised you about Ocean City Youth Weekend. Yes! It is finally up! Nick got my computer to start up! So... All credit for me getting my story up here goes to him.
The 2 poems... (if i can find the 2nd one...) are for Jessica Easter. The titles are "Jess" & "Jess2". I'll put a link here for those who would like to read these now...
"Jess 1"
"Jess 2"
Thats it for now...
Justin!
9/15/2006 - 2:13pm
I just jumped on here to add another poem. It doesn't have a bio yet, but that will be in the future. The person it is written about will know what its about.
Updates on the lack of story... I haven't been able to got into my computer yet. I'll try again this weekend.
Thats it for now.
Justin!
9/14/2006 12:07PM
There happens to be a problem with my computer... It wont start... with that said, I don't know when my latest story (which doesn't have a name yet, may I add) will be up. It will be uploaded as soon as I get my old computer working, or when I get a new computer.
Sorry to all you who like to read my stories.
Justin!
