Author has written 76 stories for Nature, Historical, Haiku, General, School, War, Humor, Life, Religion, and Song.
Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.

They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.

They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
While some see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Hello! I am CoolBeans18s. I am an avid reader, and I enjoy writing and photography. So far, I have mostly written poetry, haikus and rhyming, and I enjoy fantasy, nature, mystery, and I'm hoping to type up some longer pieces of work soon. I like constructive criticism. If you have any ideas on how I can improve, please let me know! I'd like to think that my reviews offer as much help in return, but sometimes I get so awestruck over you guys' work that I just can't type anything other than excited gibberish x_x

A Word (or two. or three. or, well, a lot of words) of Thanks and Recommendation
Okay, so I know that this is not the world’s most interesting profile. It has a little junk about me in it, and one quote. Yeah, yeah. Lame. Maybe one day I'll spice it up a bit. I don't even have the creative ability to come up with recommendations for all of my favorite authors. So I'd like to do that now, in a way. But first of all, I'd just like to thank everybody who has ever reviewed my work, everyone who has taken the time out of their busy days full of much more interesting and fun things to look at my stuff and leave a note of helpful encouragement, of advice. You guys mean so much to me, and I don't know how to thank you all. There are hundreds, thousands of brilliant minds out there, many of whom I thank God for every day that I have had a chance to be blessed with their poetry and stories, and even more so when these wonderful people take some time to look at my own stuff. Please, PLEASE! If anyone who is reading this has not checked out my favorite authors list, skip everything on this page and go do that now! I mean it! And even my author's list does not contain a billionth of those amazing souls. Worship them, People! Each and every one of them is infinitely better than me. So GO! CHECK THEM OUT! Please!
