Hello all:

Thank you for taking the time to read and review the things that I write.

I am a female 33 years of age and reside in the state of Virginia (for lovers) *eye roll*

I figured I'd put the things that I pen here on Fiction Press so that the writing can be a hope to others.

I love reading fiction in general, love poetry and prose. I love Emily Dickinson's writings by far she was

way a head of her time and is a constant source of inspiration for me.

I play the six string acoustic guitar and sing as well as write music. I have a feeling some new music will

be coming out of the recent poetry I've been writing. It is how the cycle went last time.

I wrote a lot then sang about it. Only this time it will be a different woman who is singing,

one whom is whole through the redemption of God.

It's going on 3 years that I have been cutting free and I have my faith, my family support

and God to thank for the three years of no self injury. If you look at my earlier writings below,

you'll see the stark change.

But, I'm not going to get rid of it for it serves as a reminder to me

as well as showing that recovery is possible. Not discounting how I felt and the intensity of the emotions

at the time. For it was a passing season, once I put myself in a place to receive help, to humble myself and ask for help

the healing could finally begin.

I hope you the reader can get something from the writing I post. Again thanks.

Note: I'm not sure why Fiction Press is hiccuping with the poems I post, but I'm trying to fix things as I see them, I'm thinking this is a sight error, vice an error on my end...
