Wesley Dingler

I was born in Central Alabama February 27, 1985. I'm a Piscean and love it.

I began writing poetry and child stories at age nine. I began home schooling after the Sixth Grade, having a lot of trouble in the public education system. I was a really weird kid (a bug in the system), but let's move on, shall we?

Between 1995 and 2017, I composed over 1000 poems (between myself and my pseudonym) and numerous fiction short-stories of varying styles, themes and messages. When I was in my 20s I began my own style of poetry that I call Rhythmic Word Art. I have always considered my own work in poetry to be abstract more than realistic; but I dabbed in realistic/confessional poetry, as well.

I love welcoming new writers. However, if you are one of those narcissists who don't befriend people unless they praise your work all over the place, then I have no use for you, and you will have no use for me. I'm a writer, not a critic.

I spend more time writing than reviewing and I won't apologize for that. Maybe you should, as well. If I added you to my friends list, that means you wrote at least one thing that I absolutely loved. Or I felt you could use a warm welcome. Or you just seemed really interesting to me.
