"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do… Continue reading So… you think you’re crazy? Here’s a quote for you!

Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday
I love autumn, especially in New York. The changing leaves, the crispness in the air... I can almost smell those marshmallow's toasting now. Autumn Leaves-Kerri Maniscalco The autumn leaf falls like a ballerina twirls Without a sound as it gently touches the ground In beautiful poetic swirls It paints a picture for me, Of… Continue reading Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday

Quote of the day: John Lennon
"My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel.

"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping… Continue reading Poem of the day: The Raven

Because Jack London told me so…
Keep writing and keep sending query letters! Here’s why (and what Jack London has to do with it): I know the road to publishing is oft times, bumpy, discouraging and can make quite the cranky writer from time to time. It’s human nature to shy away from rejection. Let’s face it, rejection hurts. The most… Continue reading Because Jack London told me so…
My butterfly
Thank you so much for the #FF Twitter love! I'm overwhelmed by how small this world can become once we stop to say hello. Earlier this week I was lucky enough to see a few wildly beautiful butterflies and I just happened to have my camera with me, so I snapped some photos. It reminded… Continue reading My butterfly
Flowers, flowers everywhere!
"People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us."-Iris Murdoch "For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. Bricks to all greenhouses! Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant!"-Edward Abbey
