My love of writing is fed by the desires and ability to express my self and to bring someone else into an emotion spark or new thought process. I like to tease the mind and involve others when possible. I continue to grow and build my writing skills and feel that this can only happen with continued efforts to write on a daily basis.
Reading and observing. The more I read and observe life, the more I want to write about it. It generally leads to questions and the process is started, over and over.
I love the power of using ANY words in ANY combination in ANY format on ANY topic. Such freedom is exhilarating, and constantly inspires me to draw ideas from anything around me, as well as the emotions that occur within me.
Life's experiences, specifically, my kids AND humor feed my love of writing. Raising 4 boys along with now living with my fiance' and his two kids definitely makes life a little chaotic and "a tad" (ha!) stressful. If I couldn't find the humor in some of life's typical annoying occurances, then I'd go crazy.
My daddy had a great sense of humor. (he passed in 1994) I hope my writing makes him proud.

Question #1So I am curious if humor helps a hub. I am talking about borderline sarcastic humor that informs, but with a touch of taste. For example:"The first step toward toilet repair is to pick an exciting, vibrant color. Let your soul speak and decide on the shade of your dreams. Use that...

I'm interested in poetic process. I personally believe the real writing comes in the editing stage and that all first drafts, without exception, are abysmal. As a result, I edit and rewrite a piece multiple times over days and sometimes weeks before I deem a poem acceptable for...
