Poetry and Prose, Free Verse and Narratives... written in story form, rhythms and rhymes .. and whatever else comes to this mind of mine
My love of writing and how it began
At 12 years of age, I discovered I loved words and placing them on paper. It had become a way of saying my thoughts out loud.. I wrote every day, and if I didn't, as I shared on the page before this one, believing it bared to be repeated... it was as though that day hadn't existed, being left staring down at a blank mindless page of empty thoughts.
I was very deep then and still am to this day. To me, a flower was never just a flower and a tree was never just a tree. I always saw more and began to realize I wrote from a place I call my abyss, the deepest and darkest part of my heart and soul. I began to have a yearning desire to write more than stories on notepaper so I began writing blogs online ... and blogs of blogging on my "way too many" blogs. A few years ago, I decided I wanted to write books which along the way would cast me into the world of self publishing, and ways how that would be done and at the same time, improve my craft. I have had many (many many many) hurdles along the way. Some I could handle, some set me back...all the way back, to the beginning. To now....
We write, we learn, we make mistakes, while hoping to succeed...and we grow along the way...I am walking the path, the journey I am beginning again.. I will continue writing. And I plan on growing even more as I travel this road to reach individually set goals, of writing my blogs to books...
As always, thank you for stopping by...

LOVE THE JOURNEY YOU ARE ON IN YOUR LIFE
Join me as I blog my free verse poetry prose and narratives here for you to read as well as my experiences along the way with the learning , successes or missteps throughout the self-publishing process. Also please feel free to share your experiences if you have already gone through the process, either with a publishing company or as an Indie writer. I would love to hear from you as well. In the meantime as I get this website up and running and get my first book completely finished ...I thank you for stopping in and hanging out with me.
Seat belts on please, I believe it will, at times, be a bit of a bumpy road !
Please read this important content Regarding Sensitive Writings with adult themes
As a writer, my subject matter will contain many different themes and thoughts from nature to travel, to friendships and sharing lives and this universe in which we live . This is also the case when I write poetry, prose, free verse or narratives with adult content or what many may consider sensitive topic material. I take the 18 + and older age of consent seriously and will mark my blogs that have either adult photographs or words that are often referred to as triggers. I do write erotic poetry and will always label it as such, with the words either ADULT or EROTICA.
I am both curious and excited about this process of self-publishing my own books...yes...even before I have gotten to where I should be on my time line, I will get there. My first book is written and I am working on illustrations along with the cover before I send it in for my editing copy. And honestly, there are moments when I am thinking construction paper and a stapler with pretty paper in between would ease my nerves ...Time to shed the fear and grab my courage! I have had quite a lot of time away from here .. now I'm back. 2/22/22 sounded right! So that is when I began, yet again! Karyn áŠk
