| M.J. Perales |
Author has written 23 stories for General, Religion, Politics, General, Friendship, Life, and Love. My name is Matt Perales, and I'm nearly 27. I am a graduate of Western Michigan University with a BA in English. I'm currently a 7th Grade Language Arts teacher in Arizona. Most of my writing is poetry. I write short poems because I like the challenge of fitting so much meaning into so little space. My real passion, however, is fiction. I love to write just about anything but I want to write longer fiction. Maybe when I have time in 40 years. Well, that's about all for now. R&R some of my stuff. When I finally notice it I'll hit you back with a review. If not, e-mail me and say "WHERE'S MY REVIEW, DARNIT!" I hope you enjoy. Actually, to be perfectly honest, I think I've finally learned to write for me, and I won't stress if I get 0 reviews or 100. It feels good, and while I will appreciate your comments, suggestions, and praise, I, for once, don't care if I've written the worst poem ever conceived. Maybe it will show in my work. Thanks for visiting. | |||||||||
