Introduction

Who I am now is not who I used to be, nor comparable to who I seek to be. The product of my timelines sensations and experiences, I am who you presently see, which is yet, not the “who” that I could be. I am a writer of music, poetry & life stories.

We have all types of writers in our group! What kind of writing do you do? (Poems, Fiction, Non-fiction, Articles, Blogs, etc.)

The passion emanates from within. Life’s experiences seem to have a way of bringing out the artistic nature within via ink & quill, wood & lead or pecking away at the latest technological tools. I started writing when I was about the age of 15 through poetry. In college my essays seemed to have been of exceptional quality which suggested to me that I should take my writing a little more serious. In recent days I am finding myself compelled to scribe my thoughts & imaginations, for they are as active as a barrel of monkeys extremely anxious to get out.

Some days it's tough to stick with it... what motivates you to keep writing?

I love to express my thoughts & feelings. Writing is a tool for communication & when I can connect to others through my writing, I feel a little more connected to the world around me.

Have you ever been published before, or are you just getting started in the writing world?

I have not published yet. I love to write poetry & have just submitted a piece to a contest. The piece that I submitted has the potential of being published, so, we'll see how it goes.

To help us keep our group informative and useful, please tell us what do you hope to gain from joining our group?

I hope to partake of the shared knowledge of the members of the group. From the first session that I sat in on, I was assured that I could benefit from the broadened perspectives and gained experiences.

Are you a member of any other writing groups? If so, which ones?

No other writing groups, but I am a member of C.O.F.F.I.E. (COnnecting Friends for Fun Intown Entertainment) & this particular group has events which allow me to express some of the things I write verbally via the Open Mic events it has.

What Curtis Harris is saying about this Meetup Group

An excellent group with excellent leadership. The members I have met with have shown substance & great personality. I am now eagerly anticipating each meetup & wishing that my schedule would allow me to meet with the group more often.
