Greetings!
Welcome to the citadel of my brain which sits to the far west - in the outer-most corners of my mind…but be warned; some of its corridors are long, stupid and/or winding. Do you think you can do conquer the vines of surrealism? Warning: there are also some strongly opinionated topics discussed here: if that suits you…well, ENJOY!
WHY I BEGAN WRITING
I noticed once I began to express myself properly, that I was NOT a good rhetorician. Actually, vocal speaking truly has to be one of my WORST qualities. I cannot think on the spot, or use words that make me sound intelligent or provide elegance of ANY fashion.
This resulted in the harsh reality that not a soul was interested in trying to understand me properly. No one wanted to hear me talk for 8 hours - as a pathetically grasped at a coherent point, or listen while I shared every mini detail of a story - down to how the blades of grass blew in the breeze, or consider any ideas I had.
I need time to process, and collect my thoughts. Let my mind travel while I sit quietly, replaying the same sentence a million times over, combing through dictionaries as I do so. Thinking of how best to word it before I present it to the world.
Not a soul was interested in HEARING my words - but they would READ them. - People are more than receptive to creative writing. :)
So I thought, why not play to my strengths?!
Use myself. Use this.
... & thus, it began.
my lovelies…
In true honesty, this a random little page. I have been creating and writing in various forms for over 5 years now; short stories, personal blogs, essays and the lot. I wanted one solid place to combine everything I have written in order to share and not send Google docs back and forth to a thousand people. Bear with – for this will be a learning process, but eventually we will get there! Welcome!
