Thanks so much for the fave on 'falling'. I always get quite giddy happy whenever you like one of my pieces, makes me think I must be doing something right

Your poetry is amazing. I love how you can take one tiny thought or concept and turn it into a poem and neither saying too much or too little about it. I think I shall be watching you.

Hello
I'm getting together the next issue of my "friends features", if you'd like to take part in it feel free to note me with 3 thumbcodes of your works + works from your friend's gallery (I'm looking for diversity, so it can be any media; both beginner and advanced quality are welcome) the feature will be released in the upcoming weeks, I'll note you with the link when it's done

Clicked on random deviant and it sent me to you! Just passing by and flipping through other deviant's work, looking for inspiration. I write primarily non-melodramatic free verse poetry, something that I hope even people who aren't lit fanatics can enjoy. Just in case you're interested

I am a huge fan of your work, and I was so pleased to find that you have a dA account. Awesome! I think my favorite poem of yours so far is "Magic," but I'm excited to see what you come up with next!
Keep up the great work!

Thank you! I've had a dA account for years, but never did anything with it. I started trying to use it more a few weeks ago.

Well it's great for me, because I don't have a tumblr or a twitter account to follow you on, so I can get some of your works here haha. And thank you so much for the watch back!

I've been a member of DeviantArt for a while, but I have a tendency to leave my account without updates for long periods of time. I've decided to start posting more of my work, though. Thanks for reading.
