I have always loved the feel of a pencil in my hand. As soon as I learned that I could make the pencil do something more than draw pictures I was off and writing. Over the years I have written different types of poetry like haiku, meter, rhythmic, rhyming, all to experiment. I've written short stories for my children and articles for use in magazines, community newsletters, local newspapers, and just about any place that would except them. Right now I have reached a point where I am ready to write a novel. I feel that I have observed and experienced to move my pencil forward.
