Hi everyone. I am very new to all of this, though I have been writing for a while. My writings are little pieces of this and that. I have a particular area/topic of writing... When asked what I write about the most; I usually respond "The Mood." And that can be anything. Family, romance, intimacy, fear... What ever sparks me inside, flames my pen. My main goal for signing up is to find out the steps/course other "artists" take to reach their writing goal. We, my writings and I, are still in a box, uncertain of how to get out. I'm 3o+ looking for something new, exciting & fun!

i am happy for her.
When I first heard this news a few years back, it surprised me. Now I am skeptical. Why is there only one online article pertaining to this news? I can find no other news about this. It would at the very least be all over sci-fi sites. I guess the...

This is how I do it! I hope you'll join us. http://urbanlit.ning.com/http://relentlesstv.ning.com/
Glad to see you are writing often - that's what writers do. You can write about whatever your heart desires - just write.
Stay tuned to the site, there will be a few beginning courses coming up in the fall.
Be committed. If writing is your passion make it fun. I love writing.
My first book was very poignant. To me it was not what I would have wanted to write about.
Since I was forced, to write about surviving after the death of my son, I had to do the best I could in the situation I was forced in.

Love and Blessings NaTasha
one of a kind
I wait for passion to take hold of me,
every moment, anticipation
wanting, longing
as my love calls
the scent of the moment moves me,
temptation becomes my desire
and, my emotions lead me to your heart
as a tender caress is all I long for
the touch of your body
brings the fire,
a sweet kiss upon your lips
and I have become a slave to your love,
I want you at the very edge
where your pleasure passionately burns deep
as I take this moment
let the whispers of our love be
the sounds we dance to
when my love becomes, the moments you wait for
when your heart beats with a hunger,
know that I am one of a kind
Love and Blessings NaTasha
