About Me

I love, and I mean LOVE to write. I think I'm pretty good at it. Not amazing, but pretty good. My stories tend to be depressing, though. I can't seem to write a happy character. Maybe the depression gives them more depth? Either way, I love to write my characters as depressed and insane female leads. I've always done female leads, maybe because I'm female myself, or maybe because I'm slightly sexist. As a young child I could never read a book if the main character was a guy and would always check first. I don't do that any more, but maybe that stuck with me. Anyway, that doesn't really mean I'm sexist in real life. I'm not like that. I also enjoy photography, but I am not all too good at it so we'll leave that for you to view yourself if you ever go to my DA.

Wise Old Owl
by Connie Hinnen Cook


Like the Solomon of fowl
Sat a wise old owl
Perched in a Sycamore tree,
While the moonlight glimmered
And the starlight shimmered,
These words he spoke to me:

"I guess you've heard
I'm a wise old bird,
And if wisdom you would find...
Always look for the best
And your life will be blest,
To all others' faults be blind.

"In this life, I know
You will find it so
That if you think kindly of others,
You'll soon find that it's true
They'll think kindly of you...
Praise your sisters and your brothers!"

You may think me a fool -
Owls don't talk, as a rule,
But in solemn tone he said:
"Don't be quick to enact
Words you'll wish to retract,
Dwell upon the good instead!"

Though I hate to admit it,
I could see, once I did it,
What that wise owl said was true.
Your faults I'll overlook
'Cause it says in The Book
What you sow comes back to you!

Now, if you will agree
With what he said to me,
Then my faults you will ignore...
Like that sage bird said
We'll both come out ahead
If we judge less, and praise more!
