Evolution: Patience

If the image is clear, and you can convey it convincingly, perhaps then the talent isn't a talent, but a gift.

I was fourteen when I recieved my first real adult appology. I had no idea that I wasn't being given the "time of day" because of who I was, or appeared to be while I was growing up. No one expected anything from me other than my parents, which was odd because I always seemed to do well in school. But the person who appologized to me was my elementary school principal. I had caught the attention of a local newspaper to recieve a guest spot article in which I chronicled the city's attitude and the "looser" steryotype. At the time I was the youngest to have been selected to this award given out annually. (I was subsequently replaced by a thirteen year old some years later who got more spot light and given that title, but I won't hold anything against her.) "I'm sorry that we never appreciated your writting talent." I was in the middle of trying to light a production for elementary students. I brushed it off, but later after the production when I had time to view other issues at hand, I wondered if they were trying to squash me in some subtle way. I would like to imagine that I am not nearly as petty as my mother, she laments over certain individuals that seemed to have caused my family grief over the years, particuarlly teachers I have had, although she doesn't seem concerened about those that have wronged my brother. I can only imagine that I was shortchanged in some way, but not having the experience what I could have had, I cannot miss it. I know that my life will balance itself out. I will get my due in my own time.
My degree isn't in writing, although I did fairly well in writing, with the exception of a philosophy course. I've always written, for some time I've been absent from free writing, but I've always found a way to get something out. And I have found it here for others to examine.
My interests vary, and are chronicled fictionally here. Yes they are all fictionalized. Music inspires me, as does poetry, prose, other short stories. Life inspires other intersts in my pursuit of my goals. I hope you enjoy what I've left here for others to read. I only ask that you read. I promise you that if you break the intellectual property here I will find you and you can finish paying my student loans for me.
