RA Hernandez is a young writer though aging rapidly, living in his home town of Dallas Texas, but never feeling at home in the city. So he writes to escape his implacable feeling of isolation amongst the petty sea of jaded faces. robertAhernandez13@gmail.com

I am a bit insane in the head and love who I am no matter what anybody thinks. Writing is my past...present...and future...

I think I was about eight years old when I knew I wanted to be an author. I would tap away on an old typewriter; I was excited beyond belief when I got a new one for a birthday. I devoured books, head continually buried inside. Enid Blyton at that time was the most inspiring of authors as she took me away from my world and placed me into the ones she’d created.

I wrote whenever I could, at school in break-time and any creative writing tasks in English were my personal Utopia. I even used to read my stories aloud to whoever would listen. I discovered that I too could create worlds to escape to of my own making. That was a powerful discovery, a drug, an addiction to which I have no intention of curing at rehab!

Life got in the way as it inevitably does. I had a son who has a learning disability and very complex behavioural needs. For many years, he had to be my main focus. Eventually, I was able to start thinking about writing again, and I threw myself into it with a vengeance.

“As Dream Are Made on” is the only story I have in the public domain. I do, however, have a number of short stories and novels in the pipeline at varying stages of completion that I am very excited about. I hope to be able to publish them soon. I hope you will read and enjoy doing as much as I have enjoyed writing them.

The actual act of writing is a very solitary experience, but there is nothing more satisfying than when you have poured every part of yourself into your writing, and you are left drained, but euphoric. I will never forget the look on the face of an overly confident, good-looking guy I met on holiday. I was in the middle of a really good writing session, the words were flowing faster than my pen could write, I was desperate to get it all down on paper before it was lost. He interrupted that flow as he sought to engage me with his rather cheesy chat up lines. It was inevitable…I chose my writing over him. What can I say other than the urge to write is strong and I am but a willing slave.

Words have no power alone, but the feelings that motivate to form sentences and phrases can give healing, motivation, and comfort to the soul. I write what’s inside, I print what I perceive. My hope is that my written expressions connect with your personal experience; that your thoughts and emotions connect to what I am trying to convey.

I write to complain
I write to confront
I write to defend
I write to feel
I write to motivate
I write encourage
I write to heal
I write to release
I write because its a divine ability
Grateful for the gift

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.

I'm back writing, it's been a while loves xoxo.

A free range organic questing free spirit. Helpless romantic and a vivid dreamer, an introvert with many passions and flaws, a complex being that will concur the world for those close to the heart.

Occasional writer & thinker.
At home in a small coastal Victorian town.

I'm still evolving into the me I want to be. I've done some writing, some broadcasting, some public speaking, some great stuff, and some not-so-great stuff. My sum total is still be added. Once I feel I've done enough to list proudly, I'll probably be too senile to remember it so there probably will never be a list. For now, I'll just say I'm still evolving into the me I want to be. Stay tuned.

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.

Female, 37, I am a mom of 3 beautiful children; I am currently residing in a recovery house. Yes I am actually telling the whole world this. Never thought I would have the guts to tell everyone. I am trying to get my crap back together. I fell hard for a while, now I am back on the bandwagon and actually see a glimpse of a silver lining.

Love. Create. Grow. Thrive.
Rebirth. Renewal. Rejoice.

Writing poems and short-stories is my first love....
