"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"

.W.E.L.C.O.M.E.


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.
