Said "Fan-fiction, fan-fiction, fan-fiction...trying to write a war in a story of mine that is based in the Twilight Universe...such fun this is because from experience with my bandam stories I've learned that you never choreograph a fight scene you just let the story lead itself and you create as it comes. It's not the easiest tactic at times but is sure is loads of FUN!! This is the work that is nearly finished. Just a couple more chapters to go and there will be completed story to post on the fan-fiction website that I post my stories on. Hooray for that!! Once it's done then as always it will be on to another story!! Love, love, love, love to WRITE!!!"

It's coming along...haven't written a short story in a long time so this will be an interesting change of pace for me. I'm rather enjoying it. And of course have the movie Thor playing in the background, can't find better inspiration than that! Love Thor!"

Said "About to start writing on my fan-fiction again...it's so much fun and I still have a story based upon a dream I had to be thinking about as well. I'm nearly finished with a fan-fiction work based in the Twilight Universe and if I didn't think there'd be trouble about copyright issues I'd sure post it up for those here to read. It's been so much fun working on it and now it's come down to the last couple chapters...a true finished piece even though I'm sure I'll go back and tweek it a million times for no story is ever actually finished. Time for music and writing...of course I'm always around if anyone has questions or wishes to chat. ;~))"

Now though, it's time for me to start working on fan-fiction, my stories mainly the one that has been going so smoothly that is based in the Lord of the Rings universe but also a couple others based in the Twilight universe. So much fun!! Who knows I might even put on some music or maybe a good movie in the background. Music has always been a mood-setting tool and also an inspiration for my writings whether it be poems, stories or even posts. Love music..."

This poem begins from the bottom of the page. It is meant to be read from bottom to top. The lines do not begin and end at the same points to help the reader visualize a staircase leading upward to the Upstairs Room. This is one of my own original works. Enjoy!

I want to post my fan-fiction or some of it here but I'm not sure I want to risk the copyright stuff being as fan-fiction is written using already set characters and worlds and I don't want trouble in that sense. Not sure just the basic disclaimer statement that is allowed on fan-fiction story sites will work here...

I so love to write. I also want to add more to my portfolio, as in maybe the first chapter or so of one of my stories and such.

I understand about the freelanced thing, all of artist and writers look for that extra work that brings complete satisfaction to us. I really like this site for the other artist and writers I have met here.. always some good advice going around and a lot of encouragement. Peace and Create on my friend and thanks for stopping by to see my portfolio. I look forward to more of your writings.

It's the characters for this new fantasy tale I may be in the middle of that are going to be the most difficult as in the dream, they were rather vague. Oh well just more details for me to create and play with. ;))

I also don't mind having new friends online or even new Betas. I love to learn from others, it makes me a better person. I may not have as much experience as most people on this site, but where I lack experience I make up for it in heart and the willingness to try. I've always been that way. I didn't go to school to become a writer I chose to try it and found out that I liked it. I've been learning the craft ever since and it has helped me through the toughest time in my life and it still helps me to cope with that loss even today. I won't apologize for being me, but I'm not one to back down from effort either."

Of course none of the posted writings are finished all are still in progress and I've been told that writing fan-fiction is the best way for a writer to hone their craft, besides the fact that it's so much FUN!!

https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2671689/ here is the link to the fan-fiction site where several of my fan-fiction stories are posted. They have quite the following but might I remind those that want to read them that fan-fiction is written using already set characters and worlds so even though the story lines may be different the characters, worlds and such all are copyrighted and belong to the original artist or writer who created them. So please please don't steal. I am very careful to be sure that I credit those that have copyright to the characters and such that are used in my writings as per the fan-fiction websites policies and so far I have had no problems with my works. Feel free to read and enjoy. Thanks.

Said "Just finished posting for the 2nd time the story of Pan Zareta to the facebook page I manage after being requested to do so by several of its followers. It's funny, I am always getting requests for particular posts about certain horses, I call them fan-favorite posts and apparently the story of Pan Zareta is a fan favorite. The story of Nearco has also made its rounds on the page as well with at least two or three postings since it was posted the first time. I've also now been asked to post regularly on a group page on facebook that is dedicated to the stallion and sire Sadler's Wells. So I do post there some now as well. The crowd on that page is all from Australia and so my posts there are well liked as they don't get much news of American racing over there. So much fun. Love, love, love to be writing! It's my way of being set free!"

About Me:
I am an avid horse racing fan. I enjoy reading and learning about the horses and their stories. I love to write stories, mostly of a science-fiction nature. I post regularly my own work based in the genre of fan-fiction on a fan-fiction website. I manage my own page on Facebook dedicated to the stories of horse racing, mostly posting about the horses and the stories that have given the Sport of Kings its rich history. I love to read but spend most of my free time writing or brain storming for my next story. I love animals, good movies, and good music of all genres. Most of all though, I love to write and all of the tasks that go along with it. For those interested in the facebook page I manage the link is: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Blame/553829637988346
