About Me

A lot has changed for me since I first came to this site. I quit my university program, decided to go to the college in the same town now for something incredibly different. The fact that I wasted 3 years of my time and thousands of dollars doesn't even bother me. I'm happier now than I have ever been, also more broke than I have ever been. I have learned over time that I don't need much to make me happy, just good friends and good company, and knowing that I am going on to do something meaningful with my life.

I grew up in a little hick town in the middle of nowhere. Gone through a bunch of s**t over the last couple years I guess...and that's exactly where most of my writing comes from. As my friend Mike told me a long time ago... you have to write about what you know.

We've all been through the same stuff... thought we've been in love, loved and lost, hated, etc. These are just my views on everything. Take them or leave them, but don't hate me for them.

I got a tattoo the first year I moved to school. It meant a lot at the time. But now, as I have grown older and wiser, I have decided it is time to cover the old piece with something that is new and meaningful. Now, in some ways covering my old piece seems dumb, but at the same time, I've evolved and healed. And the new piece will reflect it. And to me, by placing it over my existing artwork, it shows me becoming whole again.

I might be psychotic, irrational, a lover, a fighter for my beliefs, chasing after an impossible dream, and possibly the most random person you'll ever meet. But at the end of the day, I am me. Whole, complete, and unaltered. Take me as I am, cause I don't change for anyone.

I agree. I see a lot of crap in public nowadays. For example: a few weeks ago, I saw a bunch of teenage punks pushing an elderly man around. I would have done something myself, but the police got there first.

I�m 26 years old now, but I�m more like 50 or 60 because, most of the time, those people are more respectful than people my age.

No problem. And thanks.

Please correct me if I�m wrong, but doesn�t �ultor in umbris� mean �avenging in the shadows�? I remember seeing that somewhere a long time ago�

Good afternoon!


Have you heard of �mapping�? It is a technique, to develop fictional writing. Mostly used for story/novel writing, but it can also be applied to poetry. It is a great way to develop your creativity and find new sources of inspiration.

Good morning!

We had the pleasure of enjoying some wonderful pieces for the last challenge. Oxymorons can certainly be fun!

Now this week�s challenge is a little different.

As writers, we have to play many different roles to successfully market our works. From sales persons, to marketers, to advertisers we have to manage to develop a series of skills to promote our work and make sure someone gets to read it. I believe as writers, our ultimate goal is to have someone to �listen� to what we have to say.

What would you say if you had to sell a concept that people do not think about too often? Concepts that are embedded deep inside of us, and that as writers we usually ponder many times. How would you make someone �buy� them?

I hope you have fun and enjoy it.

Have a great day!

Love,


Val J.

Don't knock your stuff so hard, I've seen a lot worse. There's authors on this site that have been writing for 20 + years, and they're just as capable of throwing a bad yarn as much as you can. I've had more than my share but I'm still hacking away all the same. Just learn from it and move on. Keep reading and writing and you'll find your voice.
