Yes, like you, I will write despite the cobwebs on my ebooks! :-)<br /><br />Leigh:<br />It was her sister who championed Emily poems and worked to get them published. Its the scoundrels who criticized her heartlessly I would like to see her fame now!!!<br /><br />D.G.:<br />I've had several post reviews on Amazon using pen names. I think you are right. Write because you love it.<br /><br />Megan:<br />I think they might find some of these new writers shallow and copy-cats! But only their ghosts know!! :-)<br /><br />Tracy:<br />You and I are much alike in writing because it is in our blood and gives us that which nothing else can. :-)Roland D.

There is a freedom in writing and experimenting with new genres and subjects that is similar to trying new things like bungee jumping or snorkeling. It's a natural high when you write something new (or jump off a cliff over a river) and find that you like it more than you thought you would. For me, when it comes to writing it's still fulfilling, even if the stories only live on my blog and don't make it past the slush pile.<br /><a href="http://a2zmommy.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">A2Z Mommy and What’s In Between</a>Tracy MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03615611919340469444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-23662439693292009532012-08-17T18:01:29.475-05:002012-08-17T18:01:29.475-05:00I love Emily Dickenson and the other Gothic poets ...I love Emily Dickenson and the other Gothic poets like Poe.<br />Also writers like Bronte.

I've done some type of writing all my life, for myself and for work. <br /><br />Writing has kept me sane, it's where I try to make sense of the world and the people in it. It gives me somewhere to vent my imagination. I wrote poetry in college - very idealistic (due to reading Sartre and Kafka)<br /><br />Have a great weekend, Roland. I will check out about the Amazon reviews. (It depends on how much they want to know about me.)D.G.
