It is said that writing is a writer's extenstion of his own being. I believe in this saying, as I have found that it applies to my work. I seldom write a story, poem, or essay without incorporating my emotions, dreams, and views into the piece. This is particularly true of my poetry, which is often quite subjective.

Writing is one of my few true passions. I usually write spontaneously, and I seldom find that I have written something that I would rather not have said. I find pleasure in all of my writing, no matter whether the structure is correct, or even accepted; I write for the pure joy of putting the thoughts of my heart, mind, and soul to paper.

I have seldom considered myself to be a writer, primarily because the term tends to imply a profession, which, in its turn, implies effort. My writing is almost effortless much of the time. However, in the true sense of the term, I am a writer - because I love my writing and put all of myself into it.
