Boy or Girl?
* * * I've always envied those who felt at home in their own bodies. Those who were proud of themselves and had no doubts that they were exactly who they were supposed to be. Those who had no doubts about where they stood when it came to the...
Empire of Sand
* * * And endless expanse of ever shifting sands. A wasteland that tests the endurance of even the mightiest warriors. Great sand dunes that stretch up into the sky like great mountains marking the way for those foolish enough to wander the...
Passion

Inspire Me
* * * How does your inspiration strike? Does it brush your attention like the rustling of wind through the trees? Does it tap steadily at the windows like a light rain on a cloudy day? Does it knock harshly at the door or stand by patiently...

Silence
* * * Sometimes my mind is overflowing with so many ideas that I can barely find room to shelve them all. Ideas for stories and poems come so quickly that it's almost overwhelming. The urge to write, to compose to create is irresistible. It...
