WRITING CHANGES US; OUR WRITING CHANGES
Writing changes us. likewise it changes others. It's like life; it changes and our writing may reflect that. My writing has changed. I'm sharing more about things that I never would have five years ago.
I' have been creating characters who are unlike myself. I may have some of their characteristics however I'm not them. I see that I'm capable of being a hero, a villain, a king or queen, or vagabond. I've never written a historical novel or story but I imagine myself living during that time.

WORDS OF WISDOM
Writing is like traveling. It's wonderful to go somewhere, but you get tired of staying.

WORDS OF WISDOM
Art can't be taught; passion can't be taught; disciple can't be taught; but craft can be taught. And writing is both an art and a craft.
~Elizabeth George, Author (b.1949)

WORDS OF WISDOM
If you are a serious writer or just a normal one, in one way or another, you are writing in the service of freedom. All writers know, understand, or dream that their work will be in the service of freedom.
~Ismail Kadare, Novelist (b.1936)

YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN
When I read a story or poem, I understand that the author was the one chosen to write it. When I read the stories by Edgar Allan Poe, only he could have written them.
Each writer has his/her unique perspective. Life experiences, influences, and desires shape the author's ability to communicate what they wish to convey.

POEM
MARCH
by Genevieve
Trees awaken from winter's slumber
Silver gray clouds streak across the blue landscape
Warm southern winds loosen the grip of winter's chill
March is winter's last hurrah
Tulips enchanted by the sun's embrace
Escape their dark prison
March blast one last might roar
Then falls silent in spring's serenade
