Welcome! :)
[wel·come (wel-kuhm) - a word of kindly greeting; from wilcuma - "welcome guest", from willa: "pleasure, desire, choice" & cuma: "guest"]

Let me introduce myself:

My name is Diamond Eileen Rosingat,
                                    but call me Dia :).
 

I am eighteen years old,
                                    but age is just a #.

I reside in Ontario, Canada!
                                   but I don't live in an igloo ;).

I'm your average, typical, ordinary girl who styles herself an aspiring poetess, writer, and photographer,                                                   
                                   but every now and then I do something extraordinary.

You must stay drunk on writing so reality doesn't destroy you. - Ray Bradbury

Booksie is my safe haven, the place I turn to for solace. I have the utmost respect for the wonderful people who make Booksie the awesome place it is. Here are a few writers who are more than worthy of your attention:

Best of Booksie
Alex Jose
Check out any one of his beautifully abstract poems. His mind resides in some other glorious realm that us normal humans can't fathom. You can also catch him on his blog, http://www.awepoetry.blogspot.com.

HayleyLB
Her fantasy novel, Last of the Nobles, is a MUST READ for any fantasy enthusiast. She is absolutely spell-binding.

NoSanityLeft
This girl is brilliance defined. Her novel Death And Rats Are All He Needs exceeds all expectations. Her work contains a humour beyond her years and a wisdom beyond humanity. She has other awesome novels that take place in the same world as Death and Rats and also guides to her imagination. She's a young Tolkein on the rise ;).

brucek
This man is a master of poetry. His way with words and their transformation to beauty are undescribable. He's also a valuable friend and critic. Check out his new poem "a land where peace is king".

Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart. - William Wordsworth
