The Personal Journal Of Erin E. Hughes
First and Foremost, I would like to explain to you the circumstances and events that led me to the decision to publish my personal journal online.
My journal is my life. My words are my life. One fine day, I found that I thought my words had been raped, for lack of a better word. I, to this very second, am missing a poem out of my journal, and am still quite livid about the situation. In retribution, and retrospect, and in a kind of, "Well here the fuck I am, and fuck you if you don't like me!" move, I intend to publish my journal. It may take me a good long while- there are several poems in it, some of which are fine the way they are, and some of which needed some tweaking.
Today, May 9th, 2005, will be my first few entries.
Be kind. These words are my lifeblood.
A Guestbook will be provided- but as I say, be kind, my heart is really on my sleeve. Constructive criticism is appreciated, but no negative karma, please.
Thanks, and happy reading.
Erin E. Hughes
