Magic!!

Hello to all...it has been awhile...

Just want ed to share the release of MAGIC an new release from Mystic Moon Press written by me.

Check it out at msyticmoonpress.com

So here I am...
Here I will be...

Writing as I often do. Today I am focussing on Novel in works 1, it is quite the story. It is about Angels, specifically 2. ArchAngel Lucifer and ArchAngel Michael, add in a detective and a well meaning psychopath and BANG you got a story...

I wish that writing novels was as easy as poetry. I can write a poem about anything, but novels...Argh...I struggle. That is probably why I have 5 going at once. I can get to 20,000 words easily enough, but then I begin to slow down. I think it might be mental...because I am mental...LOL...

Wish me luck, going for 5000 words...phew.

Puddle

That puddle seems to be growing,

I stare into it knowing.

Ah, those hopes and dreams,

Not as much as it seamed.

Broken in part by me,

Broken in pieces I see.

I stare at those ripples,

As the water trickles.

It grows too quick I fear,

This puddle made by tears.

So I will give you some info on this poem. I have always liked it, the flow and sad imagery. I wrote this shortly after my separation from my ex-wife. I went through quite the self pity phase (probably still in that phase...lol). I have written thousands of poems, most of them on the depressing side. I am a writer that is fuelled by heartache and pain, but writing helps remove bad feelings. It is like I transfer them to paper. I think many of us are the same.

Peace n Love!

the Little Angry Bald Man

Anger and I have never seen eye to eye. I was known for having no temper to speak of. This changed with my separation. I had never felt such anger before and to be honest still do, even after 4 years. I guess that it is the catalyst that opened up the flood. Emotions, I take them seriously. I love to be in love, I love to be happy, or even sad. I love the sensation of emotions, not matter which emotion it is, but Anger I am not too sure about.

I do not get physical but I can get quite mean verbally, really only to my ex-wife. It is something I have to control and not allow to overtake me. It is hard because i am not as in tune with it as my Ex-wife....lol.

Deep breaths help and of course my Mantra....

Nurturing the Nutbar!

So one post was not enough and i tend to write when I have an outlet.

What am I referring to when saying "nurturing the nutbar."

I refer to all of us that are off, the ones that shout, the ones that whisper. We the artists, the writers, the photographers, the illustrators, the painters, even the doodlers. Anyone person that has something that they should share. This of course is everyone!

All of us have something that is not of the "norm." Few of us embrace it, nurture it and develop it to be shared the others. Why? I believe that our society and it's views of life are the main culprit. We have this predetermined view of what is allowed and what is frivolity. I lived with it for years, pushing myself to the brink of destruction because that was expected of me. Now I happily struggle to become what I want to be.

Very few people in this world become what they wanted to be when they were kids. In truth I always wanted to be a writer and a teacher, but I veered off course. Realistically i will not become the teacher, but I will put everything into my writing. I am happier (but much more poor..lol) than I have ever been.

I call to each of you that reads this. Continue to nurture the nutbar, be what you want to be, not what you are supposed to be. If you can not dive in, then at least get your feet wet. I would rather you be a weekend nutbar than not.

Peace n Love!

So this is a blog....

Well I decided to get my own Blog. So many have one and why should I not have a place to chat to those who care or don't care.

Yes I am a writer, yes I have been published, no I am not wealthy. For all those would be writers out there...writing is a full time job and the pay is well below minimum wage.

I am a divorced father of 3, and have many opinions on it...I will not go on right now, but you may hear me rant from time to time.

For now I will say, hello and welcome to my little bit of the net...I hope you stay for the ride.
