Okayyy so I looked at my profile...decided it was WAAAAY too bland...and so I'm revamping. Hellooooo all of you people who are wonderful enough to read my profile :) My name is Lisa, and I don't know how to change the username, or I would...cause I'm not dating that guy anymore, and it was silly of me to use that particular username in the first place.

I love to write poetry. That's my one big talent with writing, though I am attempting to write a story...or I was awhile ago. I haven't updated in awhile...but hopefully I will get back to writing it. That is if you guys want me to update it? Comments for or against would be lovely.

Now, I've seen my fellow Booksie authors put their favorite authors in their profile summaries, so here I am doing the same.....

The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.  ~Anaïs Nin

A word is not the same with one writer as with another.  One tears it from his guts.  The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket.  ~Charles Peguy

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise.  The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.  ~Sylvia Plath

If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.  ~Toni Morrison

It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by.  How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment?  For the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone.  That is where the writer scores over his fellows:  he catches the changes of his mind on the hop.  ~Vita Sackville-West

Don't be too harsh to these poems until they're typed.  I always think typescript lends some sort of certainty:  at least, if the things are bad then, they appear to be bad with conviction.  ~Dylan Thomas, letter to Vernon Watkins, March 1938

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.  ~Robert Frost

A poem begins with a lump in the throat.  ~Robert Frost

Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.  ~Novalis

The poet doesn't invent.  He listens.  ~Jean Cocteau

Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal which the reader recognizes as his own.  ~Salvatore Quasimodo

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.  ~Robert Frost

Poetry is all that is worth remembering in life.  ~William Hazlitt
