"Soooooo correct. Children just write and let it flow, and it's so beautiful. The innocence of a child is the most incredible gift. When I write poetry now, it's always inspired so I try not to make changes to it. I also let the…"

"I was about ten years old when I wrote my first poem. I remember it was a prayer. My teacher asked me if she could keep it as she was touched by it. Of course I said yes. How else would one respond to a teacher? I was thrilled.…"

"Kelli, I sooooo agree with what you have to say. Your comment mirrors how I feel and what I've experienced as well. My novel has taken me ten years to write, and for a long time, I thought I was the only writer ever to take so long to write it.…"

"Thanks again Jeff, You're very kind.  "

"Hi Jeff, If you're referring to mine, yes, it is. lol. Thanks, Pat"

"Eleven years and counting on my first one and close to finishing my second one which has only taken a few months. With the first book, I had to learn so much. I always thought writing would be so easy. After all, we're simply telling a…"

"Thank You Haseena, Your opinion is important, and i appreciate it. God Bless. Patty  "

"@ Haseena, Here you go. Thanks. I was twelve years old when it happened to me. Still playing with dolls dressed all lacey for a tea party, seated around a cardboard box overlaid with a piece of cloth awaiting imaginary tea poured from an empty…"

"Thanks everyone for your comments to my writing style. I believe we all have a story to tell, I also feel some stories are just too weird to write as truth. Hence tagging as fiction grabs the reader and takes them to a place that may not be…"
