"Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else." — Gloria Steinem


Let me walk through the fields of paper
touching with my wand
dry stems and stunted
butterflies....
Denise Levertov, "A Walk through the Notebooks"

.Ħ.Σ.Ł.Ļ.Ω.



Welcome to my page, a short [okay, not so short], sweet, hopefully intriguing insight to the pequliar inner workings of my mind. The above quotes are some of those which I feel expertly grasp the concept of writing, and how it feels when I write. The first, obviously, is my favorite. It is something all avid writers should go by.
_________________________________________________________________________________________

First things first. I love to write. Of course it hasn't always been that way. Obviously I've gone through the phases of many career choices when I was younger. Some being doctor, veterinarian, famous popstar, artist, etc, but ever since I've begun writing, this is the one that has actually stuck. Although I do argue that being a writer is being an artist, just in a different way than drawing on a piece of paper or painting a famous picture.

Writing comes from within the heart; when you write you are free to become whatever you wish to become. You can travel to the ends of the eart and beyond, you can become the smallest Who living on the end of a flower to a mighty dragon soaring above a midieval town terrifying the citizens with your mighty flames. I love that freedom, that knowing that no matter what you choose no one can judge you. [though that is certainly debatable]

I am creativity. I am imagination. I am dreams. I am fulfilling life. I am an artist. I am insane. I am an author.

Parting, I would like to leave you with this:

Do not put statements in the negative form.
And don't start sentences with a conjunction.
If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a
great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing.
Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.
Unqualified superlatives are the worst of all.
De-accession euphemisms.
If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.
--William Safire, "Great Rules of Writing"
