Author has written 80 stories for Life, Song, Love, Family, General, Humor, and Nature.

It's been a while since I've written regularly. Mostly because I've been too happy to write. Anyhow, I went through my 70 some poems and found that the majority of them are not only negative but show a great deal of immaturity and what not. However, rather than removing them in order to save myself the embarassment, I've decided to leave them there to remind me and others of how far I have come. It sounds a little gushy but I think self reflection is very useful. Also I've decided to take a different approach to my writing for a while...

Anyhow, there's an awful lot of space in this whole "Edit Profile:" section and its sort of daunting to me. So I'm going to use it as more of an "About Me:" section in order to get rid of some of these giant white spaces that are making me anxious. My favorite color is dark blue, my favorite food is bread, I don't have a fear of feet, I do have a fear of deer, I have a darling Labradoodle named after Gobo from Fraggle Rock, I write because I feel like I need to be productive, and I sleep with a triceratops named Spaghetti who has boxers, a bathrobe and bunny slippers.

I wish I could write song lyrics because music matters a heck of a lot, ya know?
