Oh, wait! There's more! I know you've probably heard it a million times before, but the IN crowd sucks. I could offer you a jumble of confusing advice, but all I can say is that it really DOESN'T matter what they think. They can THINK whatever they want to, and you can't change that. But YOU can think what you want to as well.

So they think you're crazy. Who cares? Maybe you ARE crazy.

Hope you read some of MY poems as well. "The Unblind" and TO BE POSTED: "Crazy Gone, Sanity Come," in particular. ;)

Many more good wishes and perhaps a good fairy to grant them,

Story time! While reading another person's work, the amnesia one? Yeah, I read your comment and thought "now this looks like an intelligent person who seems to have an honest streak!" So I searched for your poem here, excited to see what your writing style was like!

For starters, I really loved your comment on the other story. It was exactly how I imagine you think and talk. It was spunky and fresh and honest. However, I was surprised to find that your poems have a very different voice from the comment which initially interested me. I can see the Steph Meyer influence, which bothers me. A lot. I can't say I'm a Twilight fan. The books are page turners, but that's about it. I hope you understand.

ANYWAYS, back to the point. Don't let your writing style be influenced too much by one specific author. It's good to read a lot of things from many different authors so you can incorporate the things you admire in THEIR styles into your OWN style. So make sure you read a wide variety of books, not just reading the same type of books a lot. I really love your natural voice, so, please don't try to be TOO much like Stephanie Meyer. ;)

Still hoping to rescue your voice from drowning in a sea of Twilight,
