Even the most prolific writers must sometimes have times on a given day when they just can't get started.
I know I do. From my book of poetry, let me share this:
SOMETIMES THE WORDS WON'T FLOW
Waiting. Waiting for an inspiration.
Knowing. Knowing there are thoughts, unspoken words bottled...

Here's to a great guy and good friend. I hope you get everything you want in life and have fun doing it. Much Love and respect.
Broken Hearted
I'm broken hearted and so departed. I don't know which way to go.
He brought me down and you came around. I shine again til no end.
The dark is gone...

I am not sure what happened to me. For the first 11 months of 2007, I read maybe one book and that was one I got for Christmas in 2006.
But since this Christmas I've absolutely gone nuts reading. As I wrote in this space earlier, I read an Ann Rule true crime tome. Now I've added Zodiac by...

Here are a few poems I wrote. I was pretty sad when I wrote these, but that's another story altogether. What do you think?
"Blue Sky Blues"

One thing most writers don't think about is how their prose sounds, or rolls off the tongue. Voice your words or imagine how it sounds in your mind. Does it sound awkward, clunky or stodgy? It may not have the smoothness it needs despite the concise editing you've done on your story.

For years I jotted down random thoughts, poems, short stories on whatever piece of paper was handy. They'd often end up in a shoebox stuffed in a closet somewhere. At some point, don't remember exactly when, I began writing in a notebook. It didn't matter what kind - journal, spiral - the point...

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month enters its last week, I am reminded of the struggle my sister went through with the disease several years ago.
She lost her battle at age 41, and looking back at some the poems and newspaper columns I wrote at the time, it's obvious I was struggling to come to...

One of my problems, so the writing experts say, is that I don't stick to one type of writing. I write poetry, short stories, have an illustrated children's story manuscript, and of course, have the proverbial "Great American Novel" gathering dust in a box somewhere in my home...

My earliest memories of "writing" anything was in elementary school. I can recall taking the names of classmates and writing a short story. Silly stuff, like, "It was a Sonny day, and I thought I'd take a Long walk." I'd use as many classmates names as possible and tell...
