I have always loved to write. I have periods of time when I am more impassioned than others. In those times I have a need or a hunger to write its like a release or an exhalation. Right now I write everyday. I find it to be relaxing and I feel good about it. There are times when I want to write and I simply have nothing to say or the words just will not come out. Writing is a part of my life. Sometimes I feel as I am chosen to write rather than I choose to write. There are days when I am going about everyday things and there are thoughts that press me and I just feel as if I need to write them down. It is my aim to write a book. Right now all I have are a string of ideas it is like I am waiting for something to prod me further to the next step.

What type of writing is it that you do. Is it just for recreational purposes or are you on a mission to publish? Is it just for yourself or something you'd like to share with others?

I love to write and I have already published a book. My first book is Through MY Eyes and it's about poetry. You can check it out at www.amazon.com or stores.lulu.com/joannesluv4poetry. My poetry can relate to every aspect in life. From Inspiration to teen pregnancy to ecstacy. I hope you can grab a copy so we can all share what you have read Through MY Eyes. Hoping to hear your feedbacks. Much blessings to you all.

I Love to write. In fact when I write, I'm oh so happy. It doesn't have to be a book. It can be a few paragraphs, as long as I'm writing. I currently have two books in print, and I'm working on another one. visit my website www.traceyatkins.com, or myspace msauthor2008@yahoo.com.

I mostly write to release things inside me...I would love to be published one day, I have several stories in mind, but whats been more effective for me is writing the everyday things that happen in my life. I'm trying to be more dedicated, so I could finally get my stories out of my head!! lol

Wow. That's exciting. I started out on poetry but realized that I was only writing when I was down. It helped me through some hard times though, lol.

Writing for me is thereapeutic. For a long time I had stopped, but I began again as I tried to work through some painful issues in my life. Now I try to write something every day, even if it's nothing more than a discussion response that articulates my thoughts and ideas on a topic. I'm working on a couple of projects now, and I hope to be published soon.

Keisha If it helps you to write poetry when you're down then I suggest that you continue. You never know what you'll come up with. It could be your best work yet. :) P.S. Stay happy ofcourse but when you feel the urge write on Girl.

I love to write, but have kept it personal until recently. My writing expresses a very private part of myself that I usually keep tucked away. I do believe that I have not dedicated myself to this gift in a way that I should have. This now makes making up for lost time very important. Though there are some parts of me that are extremely afraid of rejection and the possibility of the books that I am working on not selling. But I am working on self right now and I see the growth when I write. With this I know that tomorrow will take care of itself and today my passion to write is stronger than ever.
