A writer once told me (note I resisted the temptation to name drop) that you know you are doing something right when people not only want to print your writing, but also want to print why you wrote what you wrote.
Guess I'm doing something right, for once. :)
Head on over to The Write Helper and check out the short profile and picture they have up on me. It was fun doing this because it gave me an opportunity to reflect on my writing process, something that I don't often get a chance to do. Here's an excerpt:
I am a believer of writing as a vehicle for catharsis, confession, and change. In other words, you won’t find any odes to butterflies or cheesy fairytales authored by me. My inspirations are varied; I can’t pinpoint what defines my manically changing style. I’m definitely stirred by classic African-American writers...

Also, they have been nice enough to publish my prizewinning poem Meditation on Meditation online for the masses to read. Click here to read it. Hurry up. Now. No excuses.
Big thanks to Amy Harke-Moore for this opportunity to shine a little bit on the worldwide web.
If you are a writer, take some time to look around The Write Helper website. They have contests that actually pay cash (wow), as well as editing services. You know, things you might find useful. Later...
