I often write as things come to me, usually starting with or containing a phrase that popped into my head out of the blue. As I write, my stories and poems tend to take on a life of their own. I am often surprised at how different the end result is from my original plan, if I even had one to begin with.
Because of the life each of my stories and poems has, it has a possibility of being dark and even depressing. Ironically, I find these are some of my better works.
Also, I should bring to attention that I do not have an editor, unless you count a couple of my friends, just a warning. I try to catch some of my worse grammar, but I'm only human.
Enjoy!
