disclaimer to my series

what you will notice about my blog is that i will use no form of capitalization, by choice of course. you will also notice my use of ellipsis... i do it all the time, gives my writing a bit of character, a sense of being unfinished and will be completed at a later date... i am not an accomplished writer, nor do i claim to be, but i will try to use correct grammar and punctuation.

i always thought i had a flare for writing, writing poems, short stories and haikus...but I never thought i would be good enough to be a published writer, but what good is that? i first want to believe in myself before i have others who will believe in me.

i've felt like a nerd from the first time i picked up a book...i love to read...give me a book with a great story line, an afternoon of boredom, and an empty room, i'll be lost among the words. i find myself being a background character in each of the books i read, it gives me a better picture of what's going on and how i know what is what. i read all kinds of books, but my favorite is suspense; i love being involved in something suspenseful, that makes me draw up in a chair, hanging on every word till the next page, automatic rush...

poetry...my escape from reality, my anger management, my first love...i thank shel silverstien for my passion to write poetry, he was influence on my life. where the sidewalk ends...a light in the attic...the missing piece, all pieces of works i read as a youngster. his works gave me solice, piece of mind, and a sense of humor. some nights when i am trying to sleep, i would have these words in minds...words beating at my brain to get out...words that would some how influence my next piece, or possibly add to an existing one. poetry is thought to be one the hardest works for a writer, just because it can be jumbled up words in iambic pentameter, but something with meaning and substance. my poetry is my best friend, something that has never let me down and continues to amaze me...

next blog...short stories? you got to be kidding me...
