I started off writing Dark poetry because at the time I was in some deep depression. Now I am very happy, and things have changed in my life. so I don't write that dark poetry anymore.

I started writing a novel but it got lost when my motherboard was fried. I did have it all printed out and in a file box, but got left behind when there was a fire, and my apartment was flooded being on the bottom floor of a 3 story building. I even had it on a website, but then the website Geocities went down without me knowing about it, and I lost everything on all the sites I had made. So now I am back to square one. Starting over with a story I started the other day. I haven't written any stories in years. I have had sort of a writers block I guess. Not had any inspiration to get me going.


Strangely this just happened after I singed up on this site! my writers block ended and a character came to life in my mind. It isn't like anything I have written before either. So I have no idea where this will go. I am just very happy to be writing again.

Most of my inspiration has come from dreams I have had, as did this most recent character of the story I am writing now. I will wake up in the middle of the night sometimes feeling myself typing on my stomach and have been typing out a poem in my dreams of something I had been dreaming about.I will actually start writing the poem in my dreams, and the feeling of my fingers typing on my stomach will wake me up, and I will finish the poem by writing down what I just had written in my mind on paper I would keep by my bedside table, and then continue to write the poem.

Sometimes I will be dreaming and wake myself up to write down the idea for a story on my notepad so I don't lose the ideas I had in my dream. I don't know how I am able to wake myself up, but something in me knows that I will lose the story if I don't wake up. It happened several times and I lost the ideas.

So I started putting a notepad and pencil by my bed so I could write them down. I guess knowing it was there made me try to wake myself up when dreaming. I think of myself as a Dreamwriter. For sometimes I start writing even while I am still dreaming, then continue, after I wake up. I don't know if others do this or not. I would like to find out if so. Please let me know if you do. I would really like to hear about others Dreamwriting experiences.

I am happy I found this site through one of my friends. Good Luck to you all that read my profile. I think writing is a wonderful joy, and hope you all do well and enjoy it.

God Bless You All.
