Picture of InspiredPoet
Born and raised in Kanawha County, West Virginia, the fifth of six children, I can't say my love of writing began early, but my love of reading certainly did. Perhaps my late start was due to circumstance -- I married early, and two years later began a family, raising two beautiful daughters, my job for the next two decades.  Divorced in middle age with no special skills and a need to vent some strong emotions, I turned to the pen.  Since, writing for me has become as strong as any desire to procreate I liken the process to birth.  First, you must conceive the idea, then nurture it until the time comes for "birth" in all its glory and you couldn't be prouder!Other than raising a child to become a responsible, caring, loving adult, there is nothing more satisfying than creating with your own words your "legacy" to leave to the world. It takes a brave person to bare their soul to the world, but it can be very rewarding.  My current projects include poetry, songs, a novel, and a screenplay I've recently finished.  My email address is: IntlPoet@Yahoo.com
