Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Racism: 30 of 54
Racism. The very word sends chills down my spine, worse than any ghost story could. So much wrong has been done, and with so little reason because of racism.

I am an artist. Well, at least I THINK I AM, and isn't that what counts? After all, many famous artists weren't famous till they were dead. All of my life I have been drawn to the arts.

Creative Writing > Novel Excerpts Novel excerpts: Love: 65 of 70
Love From A Different Viewpoint Loving a married man (or woman in some cases) is very hard, but not planned usually, by the ones it happens to. At least it was never planned in our case.
