Who I Am and How I Arrived Here
“Each day begins with a vow of literary celibacy. By nightfall, the escape of each utterance that spills to the page, brands me a whore.”
~ Maryellen ~
Writing has dominated my life since my hands first held a pen. Throughout my troublesome teens, somber and often satirical lyrics lifted stress and kept my mind open to better opportunities. After a failed and tumultuous marriage in my early twenties, I dove into a serious study of poetry and poetic devices, mainly in free verse, although I can write in traditional form when the moment moves me. Before long though, lyrics and poetry were no longer sufficient to quell my innate need to write. I hurled myself into the freelance world and began creating short stories, writing articles and tackling the unfinished novel that greets me each morning when I turn on my computer. I write each day because the thrill of opening one acceptance letter makes reading a thousand rejection letters worthwhile.
