UPDATED 10/27/2017:
I'm back, going to add the poetry that I've written and never posted, new stuff (poetry and prose). My life has gone through huge changes since I posted here in 2011.
A break-up, a new love, lost many family and friends to death, and some just moved out of my life.
Creatively, I've been blocked, unblocked, seen my focus and style change and evolve.
Moved to a completely different state, away from the ocean to the desert. Left everything I knew, and after almost 3 years, still barely know anyone here. Donated my beloved truck right before moving here, and discovered a love of walking. It's forced me to slow down and see so much.
Had a health scare about 5 years ago, was told my existence would be a certain lesser quality, but right before moving here, I've proven everyone wrong, and sometimes even surprise myself about how strong I am, and the true me that I FINALLY have set free without apology.
Throughout my past experiences, and even some not-so-good ones here in my new town, I've been able to survive, let go of the isolation that used to do in my past, move on, see beauty, feel love, and still allow myself to be true to my emotional expressions and not beat myself up for being an honest, caring, empathic, apparently viewing life and people in a rare way that makes me connect with people of quality, not quantity.
I've started to let go more and more. Drawing, writing, interacting with people in a brave, caring way.
Saying "yes" to life, unless it would hurt me or others, and seeing "failure" as learning experiences, and just more that I can process and release into my art by my creative self.
That's it. Update complete. For now.🙂...✍🏻✨

2011: I've been writing poetry & short stories since I was a wee tot. I was raised as an only child, and found that books and my imagination were far more interesting than my daily life. I did like to study people, however, and early on, I became an "observer" of human behavior.

I am fascinated with the darker side of human nature. I've studied psychology, literature, art, music and science, and most of my work combines some aspects of those. I tend to write with a more auto-biographical tone. Even things I haven't experienced myself first hand are things I've dreamed (sometimes nightmares) or fantasized about, researched, interested in or want to do.

Note: I will review work on Writer's Cafe in an honest way. I see this site as a way for writers to share their work and become better writers through feedback from others. I won't sugarcoat my opinions. I normally give some critique as well. And yes, punctuation and grammar count, unless you are misusing it in a purposely stylized way.
