I understand what you mean. It may be anxiety too. Still it’s great that you are so creative. If you ever had writers block you would understand 😊

You are very welcome. We need more people to start talking.

Absolutely!!😊

I have several family members that read my work and my husband sometimes gets upset with what I write. Frankly, I don’t feel I have to apologize or walk on eggs about my pieces. I sometimes would like to exclude him from reading, although I know that isn’t right. However, I refuse to hold back how I feel in my write ups.

😜😂😂😂

I don’t worry because I have plenty of crappy memories to get me by😊

I also have had a trauma background. It is far easier for me to write dark poetry than light happy stuff. I think that the things I have gone through in my life have shaped who I am today and of course shaped my creativity.

Thanks for the tip Emma

Hi Emma. Gd mg from New Jersey. I’m ok. I wish I could be working on a project but right now my life is too crazy. I want to ask at some point how to start getting my material ready for a book of my own. I don’t know where to start.

Not yet. I usually start right after Thanksgiving.

I think observing life and seeing things differently makes one a poet. Being able to convey your insight and feelings into words which is not always easy to do.

I’m excited about this. It’s a great idea and I hope to really connect, learn things and share on here.
