FanStory wrote to nomi338: Congratulations! A Lost Boy is the new Story of the Month!

nomi338: I just reached the milestone of 300 posts. I never intended to be on here that long. However, once I joined and experienced the joy of posting something I wrote that was favorably received, given six stars, I was hooked and have remained hooked every since. I have allowed my membership to lapse a couple of times to see if I could wean myself away. I could not. So, I will no longer even try. I am forced to admit I am in love with FanStory and all its wonderful authors. I have made some awesome friends that I hope to be friends with until the end. I have lost at least two that broke my heart: Brooke Baldwin (Adewpearl) and Bob (Mastery) I will miss and mourn them forever.
I am a published author with several book all published through KDP-Amazon. My latest is My Two Faces. It is available in Kindle, paperback and hard cover formats.

nomi338: When I began to take writing seriously, I never saw myself at the place I now am in. Likewise, when I joined FanStory, I never would have guessed that I would still be a member at this point in my life. I do not believe that I would be able to consider myself a writer had I not joined and benefitted so much from my association with the site and its bevy of gifted and giving members. This site and the things I have learned here, I would equate with being enrolled in a series of classes at one of the revered schools of writing where enrollment would be costly and limited to a privileged few. Anyone who does not take advantage of the opportunities offered to its members is wasting their time.

nomi338: This image is a copy of my latest book of poetry: My Two Faces (Two sides of me).
The book contains regular subjects and religious themed poetry. This cover is from the kindle version, there is a paperback and a hard cover version. Each version has a different cover, and they are priced differently.

nomi338: My new profile thought is not original, but I like it. So, I am using it anyway. It is: Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.

nomi338: I recently arrived at the conclusion that a man may change the way he looks, but the only real meaningful change occurs when he changes the way he thinks.

nomi338: I fell in love with this quote from activist Angela Davis. "I no longer accept the things I cannot change, I now want to change the things I cannot accept." Genius.

nomi338: To be able to form coherent thoughts and to have the ability to put those thoughts down on paper and also to be able to comment on the expressed thought of others is a gift not to be under valued. I struggle to say only things that uplift and upbuild when I comment on the work of others, because who needs to be attacked or torn down. That should never be what any of us are about. Those that enjoy attacking the work of others should leave this site and never return.

nomi338: When the desire to write equals the ability to write that one must write constantly. The urge to write will not be suppressed or denied in any way. I wake up from my sleep with an idea and I must write it down. Riding in a car, walking down the street. At any time or place I write. I have to.

nomi338: I have been writing poetry since 1957. I have written four books of poetry that were published by America Star Books Inc. My fourth book's title is "My Three Phases." I am still working on my life story. The story is not that hard for me to tell since I was there for every moment that took place. I am afraid that I might have adult ADHD, I get easily distracted.
