Welcome To The Webpage of David A. Justiss
Hope
it overflows
it oozes from your fingertips
which you use to mold this clay
all these pieces of clay
Hope
cannot be denied
cannot be dropped nor left behind
nowhere you can go where it is out of sight
just open your eyes
Hope
with arms outstretched
follows your forever through the darkness
through the fog it shines a light
waiting to be received
so that you can know
you are ever beloved

Let me introduce myself, my name is David Will Asher Alan Justiss. I consider myself an artist, though I don’t draw or paint. I write stories, poems, songs, and have written two unpublished novels. I put together this website because I want to share this art with anyone who will receive it.
Here I have a sampling of my poems, the first two which are separted from the others are ones I chose which show where my own passion is more than the others. Look below the line of titles to find other things to look into here.

My first novel "The
Redemption of Wesley Kracken" is very slowly undergoing a complete rewrite and will be unavailable for awhile. I'm planning to do a rewrite of it's sequel "A Step Up" also someday. I have sample chapters for the first version of both books here on the website for you to read.

A couple years ago, I did this challenge as a part of national novel writing month which is based on a book called "no plot, no problem." by Chris Baty (which by the way, I never bothered to read, but it has been highly recommended to me..). The challenge is to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. Several people did it, but I lengthened my goal to 45 days, but at least I met the goal I set for myself. I plan to do it in one month one of these years.. Anyway I'm posting this rather bizzare and fun story here for anyone to read because I don't plan on ever publishing it: And Now For Something Completely Nickle
My Dictionary of Monsters is now finished and available! (with over 170 entries) I wrote it because I have always been interested in mythology, fairy tales and the like, and interested in the fictional races, animals, and monsters in them.

I once created a computer game using the Adventure Maker program, but the place I was hosting it stopped hosting it, and I lost it on my computer when my dad upgraded to WinXP. So it no longer exists. oh well. There was a bug in it anyway that I didn't realize was there until after the site had stopped hosting it which made it so absolutely nothing happened when you won the game. Which would make for something of an anticlimax and people asking "did I win or not?" I don't think much people ever played it anyway.
More recently, I made my own variant of a completely different game I like called Angband: DaJAngband available here
