Words are my alias, my cloak that I hide behind, as we all do in the world of writers. The pen is my catalyst and I use it to jot those triggers that evoke the emotion and stir the thoughts. At least, I like to think that way, but sometimes, what I write is just as fluffy as the cotton candy I eat. But it’s nice to have something fluffy to chew on now and then, yeah?
I consider myself a writer, but then, I consider anyone who puts thought into the words they write the such. Spilling your guts, your soul, your thoughts and ideas onto the blank canvas is a great feat and anyone who’s willing to put time, effort, and solid attempt is a writer. That’s our job – to get our words out there and let them be known, whether you’re writing newspaper, other non-fiction, poetry, short stories, or novels. We’re here to change the world, one thought at a time, even if it’s just to get someone to think about a concept.
Right now, I’m working on a collection of stories that dissect and explore love. Because love has always been an uneasy concept for me, this is a challenge that I’m working hard at. I want to write of love from every angle – from the boy and girl who are meant to be, from the unrequited lovers, from the best friends who grew to something more, to the best friends who only half bloomed. I want to write about the girl who thought she could escape it and the two who didn’t think they could make it. I want to write about the inevitable love and the first time its felt and to cover what happens when you fall out of love.
I write other things, too, but right now, my main focus lies with that bountiful state of being and the emotions that come with. I also have poetry and have a few older “novels” I wanted to write but never became anymore more. Feel free to comment, I encourage it, because it lets me know what readers think. Also, reviewing is nice – not just a comment, but an actual review.
