First and for most

Brilliant Shit is a collaborative effort between Justin Hantz and Timothy Poovey using the medium of blogging as a means to share creative output. Songs, Short Stories, Poems, Films, Essays and General Critique make up most of the material that will be submitted. Exercise is an important part of any kind of artistic endeavor, that is to say, practice. A story will be posted, critiqued and a corrected or "influenced" version will be uploaded. Alot of the time we agree on certain aesthetic decisions, but not all of the time, so this will be a way to help each other and ourselves. This is where you, the reader come in. Through our sacrifice, that is to say admission of having several versions or bad ideas or good ideas etc.. you too will learn the virtues of both practice and shamelessness. We will deal largely with the objective of sharing with an audience an uncensored, sometimes even unfinished, ideation. Input is encouraged. For without the reader writing would simply be a subjective experience in which there are no subjects. This will ultimately serve also as a recorded history of development in craft. Words are groups of symbols which are imbued with power to relate everything about the human experience to another human. Why then do we have so many words for some things, and in turn lack a single word for others? Why is it that two words grouped together can illustrate something to which neither applies?  The word Brilliant dates back to 1696 and is defined as very bright and distinguished by unusual mental alertness. The word Shit comes from the early fourteenth century and simply means an act of defecation. MORE
