About This Quote

When I am writing my own stuff, it's like swimming upstream. Or … falling down a cliff and grabbing at branches, trying to invent the branches as I fall. If you are new to this site, I will let you know that there are two different kinds of writing available here. You can read my original writings or your can read my poetry. My poetry is very different from my novels/short stories/stories/etc. I need to have a bit more fun on this site so I have disregarded the "No Original Work" policy so please enjoy the poems on this page. The poems are written in multiple formats for easier reading - but if you would rather read them in their original formatting, please go back to the main page where you may find the links just under the poem title.
