Et scène...

One scene unfolds that may lead to another. Time to see where the next story will go/lead. Writing sometimes ends up like a word of surprise. The world and characters just pull you in. I can’t easily break away from the force.

writing

Why Write?

Because sometimes

The paper

Is the only one

That will listen

And the pen

Is the only one

That will speak the words

You need to say

A Child of Inspiration

Ideas crowd up inside of my mind. I want them to overflow from my pen and crowd the pages of my notebook instead. I want to fill them up with worlds, characters, and stories, all of which burst with color and vigor.

I want to experience this for myself.

Spitting the Spittle

why! oh why! so crazy eyed

(talkin' to our selves out loud!)

—graffiti spewin' all 'round—

nonplus across our block walls

from the bathroom to the kitchen

( studio, bed, 'n back again! )

—there's always something oozin—

from this drought of things unsaid

Reason why

Writing for me represents the way of sharing my ideas and stories in the most natural way possible. Writing is great medium because it happens in the heads of people. Also it helps with connecting with people and that’s why it’s worth it.

Bridge

Writing is beautiful: it's an art of creation; a bridge between reality and the imagined. Wordsmithing is power and emotion; what one writes can has different potential and meaning for different people; there are no limits to the messages and stories you can convey in a mere few words.
