flowing pencil Profile

Grew up in small town in Ohio...  Lately, have been experimenting with my love of simple "doodle art."  As in my profile pic. Easier than writing at times!!!  Make a mistake and no body cares! :D

Except for high school there have been nil lessons in writing! I just thoughts and what I feel and see put to words. A 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 writer 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 some 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? I think perhaps some innate way with words. My thoughts on that. Sometimes after writing a piece I may visit it again a few months later. Sometimes I am surprised and pleasantly so. I wrote that? Nah!  A spirit must have climbed inside as I could not have created that. So much more to learn before I can truly feel I can write and write well.
