I write by Baldwin, "The point of writing is to discover what you do not know, or do not want to know." I live by Thoreau, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." I am inspired by Phillis Wheatley. I write when I want to write and when I write, I feel what I write. My work is best when it just comes without force. I am currently going through self-publication and am here to get reviews on pieces I want in my book. Good? Change them? Trash them?
