Power in Words?

I am a writer. However, sometimes I sit at my desk and stare at the screen, my thoughts fluttering about in a disarray.

Revelations

Arms held out, one foot in front of the other, I balance on a wire, high above the ground. A breeze brushes my curls from my eyes, the smell of pine teasing my nostrils. Where do I walk? The canyon below is long, the river a crushing, raging roar that echoes back and forth across… Continue reading

Throes of Agony: Free Verse Poem

Throes of Agony A tear drop gathers on the tip of your nose. Take a step back, a balancing act on the tightrope, the crowd pulsing with a negative energy, jeering, cat-calling, throwing trinkets, half-eaten pickles and popcorn at your precariously balanced body.

I take this moment to present: Quark

He is captivated by the window. Birds, the rumbling of car engines, and all those fascinating sights and sounds capture his attention. What thoughts traverse his mind at this moment in time? Dare to guess anyone? Continue reading

I am part of a writing board called Legendfire, and over the past few months I’ve been working on a project to compile all the resources I could find on the site. Most of them were located in the Writing Resources forum, but a few were scattered in other miscellaneous threads throughout the site itself.… Continue reading

Overcoming Writer’s Block

When I sit down and write, sometimes I find myself unable to do anything but just sit and stare at the screen. I see where the words should go, but my mind blanks as if the whiteness of the screen has penetrated into my neurons. A barrier to stop the firing of all the creative… Continue reading
