A glimpse into who I am.

Who do I think I am?

I write mostly poetry. The mood just has to hit and with few exceptions, it is from the heart. My poetry is about love, death, friendship, depression or whatever is prevalent in my life. I do occationally write from someone else's point of view and it has nothing to do with me. I like to write thought provoking essays and articles. My short stories are often forays into unknown arenas like drama and fantasy, which is to say, I am trying to write something I don't often read. I enjoy evoking emotion from my readers.

Final Thoughts:

Thanks to my friend, Ms Kimmie Author Icon, for letting me use her article, "Invalid Item" Open in new Window. as a template for this. It is friends like her that keep me smiling.
