Welcome!

Reading usually precedes writing and the impulse to write is almost always fired by reading. Reading, the love of reading, is what makes you dream of becoming a writer.

The Quiet...

I do believe that the only noise I can hear in this distant town is that of people laughing.

Other than that?

Nothing.

No parents asking persistent questions; no brothers bringing home friends that talk too much or too loudly, or else just jabber their lives away;  no sirens, no bells, no alarms, nothing!

And what of the construction workers beginning their work day outside of Hoosac Hall - my dorm room window - at the crack of dawn? What of the lectures from my teachers; the words spoken by classmates?

But that is life.

Life is not noise.

Life is sacred, like a lullaby or a children's fairy tale story.

And a life is what I've been given... all the way until the year 2015.
