I’m here to use you all as guinea pigs for my future experimental online entrepreneurship...Just kidding, well kind of. In truth i’m not all the young (if being 22 makes me really old here) and I’m not the next William Shakespeare. I do, however, pride myself for trying really hard!
All the basic jazz--I’m an English major, a waitress, an online copywriter for a unique gift store, an equestrian, an amateur poet, and a trapeze artist. One of those is incorrect but you take your best guess.
I’m here because I began a crusade a few month ago to try to get young people in my community excited about writing poetry. My crusade failed miserable with an unsuccessful blog, lots of unreturned emails and phone calls, and a few very dirty looks from very annoyed high school students who thought I was wasting their home room time with my blabbering.
After losing faith in my ability to inspire others to write I found a silver lining--the online community! I found you guys here and realize that there are, somewhere out there, young people who believe in the power of their words. So, I plan on lurking around this site to gain insight and inspiration for my next attempt at public service through writing. Until then I’d love to be a part of the community and help where I can. I love critiquing poetry and working with other poets so I’m sure that I will be dropping by your posts and letting you all know what’s up! Feel free to chat or ask any insanity of questions. :]
