It's been so long since I've had time to write, I still don't really but I'm going to try. I am working now on a story that I had posted but took down for revisions. Three years later I see it really needs some help. I also hope to work on The Rejected and maybe revise it as well. I really want to finish it. It's fun to write . So thank you to the previous viewers from so long ago, and to the all the new ones.

Oh yeah, and a side note...the username was changed to weatherbeaten from shadowsfall like forever ago. But some still know me under the latter..but it's the first name now...Weatherbeaten...and yeah. There you have it

I love quotes. I think they can be powerful and inspiring. So here are some! I get them at , a favorite place to browse.

"Poetry is the music of the soul, and, above all, of great and feeling souls" - Voltaire

"Writing a poem is discovering" - Robert Frost

"Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary" - Kahlil Gibran

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities" -Dr. Seuss

"In so far as one denies what is, one is possessed by what is not, the compulsions, the fantasies, the terrors that flock to fill the void" - Ursula K LeGuin

"If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities" - Maya Angelou

"One supreme fact which I have discovered is that it is not willpower, but fantasy-imagination that creates. Imagination is the creative force. Imagination creates reality" - Richard Wagner
