I am a 38 year old I write on all levels.. am shy in some ways and outgoing in others.. a tomboy growing up. I am friendly but sometimes reserved in everyday life .. I do not mind criticism at all but may post one or two personal writings that I just don't want to change. I am a dreamer of peace and love.. extreme.. it's my life. I believe this world needs a good change.. I don't have all the answers to that but know it has to start in every household and heart... which I am still struggling with even myself.. I love my children the most in this world unconditionally.. I have 2 teens and my adult work is listed as restricted for 18 years of age and older If I ever write something offensive please do not be afraid to notify me.. I'll do my best to rectify it..
CHILDREN UNDER 18... do not display your location or give too much personal info about yourself in your writings.. I have seen many in the past put out info... remember that this is a public site and MANY types of people come out here..not all are good.. I am sure most are good I believe but because this is the INTERNET there just is no way to know.. Write safely.. be creative.. don't become exploited or fall into a trap whereby someone promises you a career or some other silverlining that could become a trap.. let your parents become aware of such propositions and explore with you your developing talent.. do NOT meet up with strangers from websites!!!! (In reality.. there are people over 18 that go missing in this world if you check the missing person's sites) If I post something restricted to adults.. it IS only for people age 18 and over to view.. please do not take offense to that. I can tell you that I would not just run out and meet anyone of a website like this or any other being even at my age of 38... without the highest precautions being made.. I would make sure it was valid and bring someone with me. (This is not meant to scare but to reinforce using good judgement using the internet)
A note: I do prefer to write and read happier poetry but stay true to my emotions for the most part.. some is creative as well. My writing does not always reflect who I "truly" am.. do not mistake that.. it sometimes is just a passing thought.. it could seem "crazy" or "really sad" or "off the wall happy".. those are passing feelings and I grab a pencil or pen fast and jot them down.
Inspired by past artist like Shakespeare, William Blake, Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, Stephen King, John Grisham and Dean Koontz to name just a few.. as a child I loved Judy Bloom (freckle juice was one of my favorite funny children books .. lol.. I even tried to make the conconction to see if it worked even though as a child I had freckles.. I tasted more aweful than I could ever tell you!!). I love visual arts as well from the victorian era (very dark period that inspired huge art pieces bring light to that time). Vincent Price, Humphrey Bogart.. and of course the twilight zone were late night specials I sometimes snuck up to watch behind my mother's back growing up.. as well as Bonanaza! I found the old horrors sometimes more terrifying than some of today's works but that may be because of the sensitivity of the times.. and there just wasn't the special effects that they have today.. that sometimes I think go to far. Stephen King is the King of Horror.. without going to far graphically.. his writing and dark artisty is raw and far out there..
I am into lyrics! Although some do stand out.. if you check out my playlist.. it varies but just a small portion of what has and does inspire me from yesterday to today.. the list is not in any particular order.. I listen according to mood.. and have updated a few more great Canadian songs.. you will notice I have Rowing on the Lakes of Canada.. it is actually an American couple that produced that song.. but shows the beauty that can be found here in Canada.. their song is really beautiful and reflects what I love.. our lakes ..and floating out on the open water!
I'm happy to say you can now find me on http://coldcoffee.ning.com/profile/LisetteCanWrite as well now.. though my heart beats on this .. my first posting site!
