Wife, Mother, Retired Teacher

A part-time writer presently residing in Fort Worth, Texas. Seeking a venue to establish myself within and feel comfortable about with each new posting. Some days are better than most as far as new and fresh ideas go. Only recently did I decide to try out the blogging platform and hopefully it will lead me to the next phase of my writing dreams.

Finding time to write has been tough, but it's too ingrained to stop now. The problem is going back to finish works I started three years ago while the shiny new thing jumps up and down and screams my name.
Anyway, I may not finish all of what I start to write, but I'm going to have fun trying. Thanks for stopping by, reading my stories and poems, and (maybe) leaving a comment (or TWO). Blessings all ways.

Darren Scanlon was born in 1965 and lives in the Northwest of England. A typical 'northern lad', his sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek humour and writing style has earned him 5 Star Ratings on Amazon for both his novels and his poetry which he has been writing since the age of 18 and is published on websites including High On Poems where he has achieved much success and great reviews:
​
"We at High On Poems are blessed to have found such a treasure as you amongst our midst. Your poetry is thought provoking and shakes one up. You obviously are a powerful wielder of words!"

His work to date includes his debut comedy novel called Hey Up, Matron! A tough out loud, roller-coaster ride through a day in the life of a NHS hospital ward from the point of view of the long-suffering patients; two books into the gritty crime/gangster thriller Danny Roberts Series – Broken Angel – Broken Wings; four volumes of poetry, Positively Poetic Vol 1-4; an illustrated children’s novel, (based on one of his own poems), called A Mouse’s Tale and an illustrated children’s ABC book called Alphabet Zoo.

He is currently working on his latest novel, Way Back When, which is a comical look at childhood now and back in the 1970’s and how life has changed. Future projects are book 3 of Danny Roberts, an illustrated children’s poetry collection and another illustrated ABC book.

When an individual writes, they share a piece of them...you get a free pass into their mind and maybe get to know what they like to share with the world and what they would rather keep a secret because that you will not find published. For me, writing is an escape...a way to communicate my thoughts with the world. Welcome to my mind...although it is a censored version

I have been amused my entire life. I have also realized that I'm a "seeker of truth," which is often clouded within the swirling vapors of politics, religion and hogwash. My greatest joy is writing. My books, stories, observations, rants and on occasion, nonsense.

I hope to experience an epiphany of excellent enlightenment and new found wisdom in my elder years, if not, I will most likely just open a stall at the local flea market, sell collectible lunch boxes and drink beer. I do hope you will take time and indulge yourself in a few of my scripts and if you enjoy them, then I'm happy. If they are not to your taste, well then bite me.

Thanks......Charlie

bio to come soon...standby

Female. 19. Studying Drama. Philosophical, lover of quotes, poems and music. Writing for me is a sort of release/ escape from the world. Helps makes things a little clearer.

I enjoy reading, writing, and a steaming hot cup of tea to start off a beautiful day.

Just a University Student expressing opinions on certain topics I find interesting that come along in my daily experiences or readings.
