The Storm from within - this phrase just sort of entered my mind; which is a rather fun gift to have as a writer from time to time, and in this case, it fits me. When I love, I do so with my whole heart; on the flip side, I have a very explosive temper - one that scares the hell out of me at times. That being said, I hate my temper; I hate feeling the way I do; I'm supposed to be a Christian, and Christians aren't supposed to blow up like I do. So, I will use this blog to vent or write anything I need to; anything to keep me on the path I have chosen, and do what I can to keep it a healthy path.
If you believe that there is a reason for everything, then I suppose I have been able to channel my anger into words on the computer screen; I'm not hurting anyone, its cheaper than seeing a shrink, and I turned something negative into something positive - a good and very detailed scene in a story.
Most likely my writing will be more on the darker and controversial side, but I have decided to embrace it, because if I concern myself with what others think, then I'm not being true to myself or to my writing; people will like it, or they won't, and I will not waste the gift God has given me. If there is one thing I'm certain of, I believe in my writing, I am that edgy writer; I feel complete when I'm creating, and it's all I want to do for the remainder of my life. Just because I'm a darker writer, doesn't mean there aren't messages in my writing; in fact, I hope to send a meaningful message in each story I write.
I'm also working on transferring all of my blog posts from Wordpress to my site here to an archives file; I will post when I finish that project. I'm excited to see where this new site takes me and my career as an author; again it took longer than I had hoped, but as they say, "All in God's time."
