One of my hidden talents....

As many of you know or may not, one of my many passions is to write. Many people don't know this but I started writing when I was in my early teens. I started with poetry, short stories, lyrics and ended with full on novels/novelettes. I am the first to say that my writing maybe anything but conventional. You might not believe this but when I started writing my first long story I wanted to write a cute romance or love story. It ended up being a story about a stalker and his prey. That is when I realized that my mind was better set for stories about mysteries, crimes and of course the unnatural. I am not saying I'm a weirdo, but since I have a background in theater and the dramatic arts I have the ability to stretch my imagination through many boundaries. My first book is a book of fiction/mystery, I will admit that a lot of the names in the book were taken from ones that I know yet no one is personally portrayed. Shoot I even put a few ex's in the book granted something might or might not accidentally on purpose happen to them. My point being that I like to write maybe my writing is unconventional but I can guarantee it is interesting. My next book has the same two heroines/investigators/crime solvers, unlike many books I wanted to write a book about women being the tough, stubborn, and aggressively determined without mentioning they are also latina's. I'm still writing I second novel and at the moment I am taking a break to write this blog, who knows when I'll be done but eventually I will. Like I was saying before I have also written poetry, a lot of my poetry are sweet and short some are long and explanatory. I also have poetry that is dark, sad and downright scary. I just found a stack, to fill about three books, of pure poetry in which I read and what I had written about was deep for being so young and innocent. Then others I did remember writing were about my crushes and my growing pains. Back then I was even in love with Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block and I believe one of the poems was about him, I even found the poem I wrote while looking at my huge Elvis Presley portrait. As weird as you may think that is, yeah I did it! I am not ashamed of what I wrote about or will write about in the future.
