Thanks for stopping by. I hope that by posting my writing and receiving feedback, I might loose my fear of letting people read my thoughts and ideas. It is time to put down in writing some of the stories/poems/lyrics/letters/thoughts/inventions that have been experienced or dreamt. You know how it is; years' worth of carelessly scribbled notes stored in that not so orderly file cabinet that is the mind. I hope my lack of formal training doesn't dull the message. I need to hear your sincere comments, be they positive, negative, or in between. BE WARNED: Some of what you read here is A Shade (Or More) Away From Normal. Allen
