About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Writing.com is a great school
WdC teaches. No kidding. The information is given in tiny doses, and you don’t even recognize you are learning, because mostly, you learn by doing. I must say, Writin.com is the Montessori school of writing.

We have some newbie writers here who, one day, will become great writers. I so believe this. I know in my heart of hearts quite a few WdC authors will make this site very proud. That is, even more proud than WdC already is. Some of our newcomers are already established writers, and their work attests to that. Still, even the pros need a place to experiment their craft. Beginner or experienced, what is better than finding new avenues and discovering new genres and ideas?

I remember beginning writers of several years ago who were novices. Some of them are moderators today, and their writing has advanced to become way better than some Indie writers who are flaunting their published books all over the internet.

Speaking for myself, I have learned a lot here, and I’m continuing to learn. Each time I start writing something new, it feels like I know nothing, but then the ideas flow, and something, good or bad, comes out. I have become faster in thinking of new angles, too.

If you are wondering why delight is pouring from my every pore, no, it has nothing to do with imbibing. *Laugh* I don’t drink or anything, but I have always appreciated this site, and June is the month of my WdC b’day, the eleventh, and that idea alone makes me act like the town lush. *Rainbowl* *Heart**Rainbowr* *Gold*
