I've been writing since I was about eight years old. I write both poetry and nonfiction, although I am much better at poetry, in my opinion. At least, it comes much easier.
By the way I've decided i'm tired of those spam emails to read your work. I've come on this site for the same reason you have: to get comments and critque on my work. I will no longer respond to read me's if you haven't bothered to read my work and give it some honest feedback. I think that's fair (FYI this works the other way as well! )by the way.
i thought i should mention to anyone who comments on my work no matter if had to ask you. i will always keep track and return the favor.
Note: I have a soft spot for people who've read and commented on my work and said so in their message to me.
I've posted my book, however it's far from complete, so please bear with me. The Disappearance has been a work in progress for a long time, the subject of MANY months of writers block, and a joy to write.
As for my poetry, most of it is free verse, and if you want to understand it better, you can't break it down into LINES. So read it as you would a story, rather than a typical poem.
I love brutally honest people.
I am a dog lover/fanatic.
I am my own worse critic, as we all are. ;)
I love to read. I can't get enough.
I hate fakes and phony's.
I'm allergic to onions and b.s.
I'm a loyal friend, and yet, I have few. (more time to write!)
My dream has been to write for a living since I was very young. Maybe one day. If you comment, I will return the favor. I sincerely believe that READERS are what makes the book world turn, and who really speak to publishers.
