| Bio: | Grew up in small town in Ohio... completed 1/2 year of college. No lessons in writing just thoughts and stuff I feel and see. Lot comes from childhood memories and never feeling I had a voice nor courage to gain one. My writings I remember were dismissed as dark... waste of time. I actually won a poetry contest in high school. My mother was a writed who I of course shared my little gem from my heart. I can still remember waiting for her approval. Well, I won the contest... she rewrote most of it. I laid the pen down until years later and then for the most part kept my words, my soul, my heart well hidden. Now i am ready! Talent. my thoughts on that. After I have typed it out and go back and read it later I am always shocked. I wrote that! Nah a spirit must have climbed inside as I could not have created that. |
