Author has written 73 stories for General, General, Life, Fantasy, Love, Song, Family, Religion, Friendship, Young Adult, and Romance. I didn't choose writing, it chose me. I write when I'm inspired and that doesn't happen as often as I would like. I hope to someday be a published writer, as I'm sure most of us here do. Sometimes this site can get discouraging when you don't get enough feed back and reviews. I know how that feels and I'm trying to get better at reviewing more. Really I think if you want more reviews you need to review other people more. I really think there's some good kharma floating around this site and reviewing others is a great way to lead others to your writing. Also, if you want a good laugh, read my poem "Fictionpress, This is My Plea." Please do me the honor of reading my writing and telling me what you think. I know some of my poems are better than others but I LOVE criticism, so please, tell me what you think. Most of all, ENJOY. Always, READ THIS: I have one, maybe two short stories on here. Don't read them until after you've read some of my poems. Honestly, my poems are better and I'd like people to read my better writing before reading my short stories. For some reason short stories get way more attention but these ones are not worth your time. Read the poems. Seriously, please! My Personal Favorites: Internality, You, How Life Has Changed Me, In The Year I've Been Without You, Progression To Redemption Most Popular Poems: A Door In The Dark, Just Hold Me, The Future Of You and Me, In A Moment Update 6/19/10: Deleted all my really old poems and my lower caliber ones. You now have a better probability of enjoying my writing. The Golden Rule of Fictionpress: review unto others as you would have them review unto you. | |||||
