I am a poet.
What does that mean? It means I write poetry all of the time and don't get paid. Most poets live their lives this way. Making money however we can then using any free moemnt to write down the nagging picture thoughts in scrappy books, leather bound or cheap spirel edged. I write on napkins, margins of other books my paystubs from shitty jobs, anything. I suppose this is a better place for those fleeting little thoughts i have to jot down befor they dissappear. at least here my dog can't chew them up and spit them out in pulpy dripping wads.

I will also use htis space to begin anew novel. One i had the idead for while studying for a semester in london but never had the chance to get started. I have an entire book of notes, though, and i beleive the characters are compelling and the story is all american. I hope we can all learn to love, sympathise with, cry and love with the characters as the work unfolds for all of us.

I wrte because i love the process. I write because it satisfies the questions i harber in me. I write because I can't not write. It brings me joy, revenge, therapy. But above all I write t make you, the reader, wonder about the world and our percetion of, and purpose in it.
And that is why I am beggining this bloggtoday. I hope all further entries are far more interesting to my reader, as they will most likely be fiction.
Thanks for checking me out. Check back in a few days, or hours depending on my mood, and I'll have the book started.
