: About Me

Hi everyone. I'm Ruth, I'm 24. I'm married with a new baby. I've been writing my whole life, but for some reason I was always to intimidated to publish anything until now. I'm also an artist, an adamant reader and film fanatic. I write novels, poetry and screen plays. My Husband is a screen writer as well, and film maker. We're in the process of getting funding for one of our scripts right now. Someday one of our movies will be showing in theaters coast to coast and you'll think "Hey I read one of her articles on Helium!" That is my dream, one of many anyways. I'm one of those passionately opinionated types. I say exactly what I mean 100% of the time. I hold nothing back. I am way to honest for my own good. Oh well there are worst things in life.

My passion is ...

Writing, Art and Film

I know too much about ...

movies! You name it I know it. It's in my blood. My dad, my brothers and my husband all have worked in film.

My parents always told me ...

that a career in anything but the creative arts was a waste of time, thus my parents didn't let us join any of the sport teams in high school.

My childhood ambition ...

to do all 1 million and 28 things I wanted to do in my life by the age of 25. So far I am way behind and I've only got 1 year till the deadline!

My favorite memory ...

watching my husband cry when the doctor handed him our son.

Why I write ...

because it's in my soul. If I don't get some of the chaos that is raging in my head down on paper i'll go stark raving mad.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm reading Wuthering Heights, I watch everything but westerns, and I always listen to Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday etc.

My first job ...

Working in a movie theatre my sister managed when I was 15

My inspiration ...

my life, my loves and the trails in between.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Color my world

Colorful Words Lost, Ravaged, Searching, Black, Red, green. Lost in blackness, black the color of a long lost soul. Ravaged my insides are red, Red the color of anger and fear. Searching for fields of green, Green the color of children's dreams. Alone, Frustrated, Starving, Black, red, green, Alone with my future bleak and BLACK, black the color of failure in my eyes. Frustrated with this fading passion her lips are no longer red, Red the color of love unmeant and unrealized. Starving for a way out of my dying yard and to the other side of the fence ware it's green, Green the color of envy...
