This is where I'm supposed to say something very profound, say something impressive, say something meaningful. But sometimes you just have to let go. I said something the other day that WAS profound, and if I ever remember what it was, its going right here. All I ask is that you don't characterize me in terms of werewolves and vampires, because quite frankly, those things are about as real as the fake emotions emo kids put on. I am what you would call a person, a name that would appear on the great and long list of humanity. I ask you only this: to look at me through my words, see the person behind them, and then tell me how you feel about it, how it touches you, how it makes your mind work, how it shows that language is the most transcending art form of all. That's what writing should be all about.

I write because I love it, not because I want to get laid or something--and that's the truth of it. I find inspiration mainly from myself, because really, what else can a person truly know besides themselves?

I'm still trying to find my voice. Its not that I'm not emotionally insensitive, no. Its the complete opposite. Its just that I'm very detached from my emotions. (if that makes any sense) I like graveyards, hard-asses helping their three-year-old daughter pick daisies, Paris in the rain, being alone while I'm surrounded by people, friends that carry watermelon rinds in their pockets, sushi, watching Rocky Horror Picture Show late at night with friends, old Ben Kenobi, Phoebe's broken record, West Egg, Atticus Finch, the Admiral Benbow Inn, and the fact that even though you're reading this, someday you and I will both be gone like the white feather inside the Curious George book by the school bus stop in alaBAma.

    Hi Jaimes Blackwelle,

    Welcome to the StoryWrite website!

Our site is a community of people who all share a common desire to write and hopefully become a published author sometime in the future. It is also a place to sharpen your writing skills and display your creativity while being in a fun environment!
