I can’t help but wonder what you guys do on big social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

I like to tweet creative thoughts, short fiction and info on any new artists and artworks that I’ve read about and seen recently, maybe if I’ve come across an interesting book…

Do you spend time sharing useful information, networking and helping each other get work and gigs, or offering handy advice, perhaps getting creative together?  Or do you spend your time in a virtual “fun” head space, posting Youtube videos and hitting each other with pillows?  A combination of all of the above, perhaps, something else?

I’d love to know.

I’m pulling my poetry collection together, bit by bit.  I have extended some of them and completed others that required attention.

In the meantime, just for a bit of variation and for your entertainment, I am going to start adding a couple of short fiction stories, here and there, that I hope you’ll enjoy.  Some of them were originally posted on Twitter, in 140 character format, but in case you haven’t been following me over there… well, you know!

In reaching for my cel to text u a msg I hesitate… I don’t know what to say… the feelings are there but not the words… How to convey what’s lodged in my brain, in my heart… Silly nonsense spews out like molten rock from an erupting volcano, but the serious stuff… hmm… that’s hard… the right words… finding the right words is like a quest for something long lost… wandering the arid desert of my mind searching for an oasis, a lush grove ripe with syntax… the words are hidden, veiled from me…

Communication is complicated. Language… coded signals… inflections missing in the written form. The wrong word… the right word. A compliment misunderstood, leading to further misunderstandings… Explanation means filling in the gaps with more words…

Who knows who anybody is in this digital, fidgetal age, when we live in sound-byte size chunks like outtakes from an arthouse movie that wind up on a virtual cutting-room floor… as for me, well, I sample life, sipping it like a fine vintage wine from a crystal goblet, savoring and appreciating each delicate, precious moment, in around and between…

Words, words and more words are rolling around in my head, sometimes they have pictures attached… should I put a link here? or there? could do, someone might follow it, someone might like what they find… who knows… like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, only not as shiny… or as heavy… or as big… but maybe just as awesome… lol… ^-^

During conversation, about two weeks ago, it was suggested that I publish a collection of my poetry in book form.  I was inspired by the idea and since then I have been rooting through my notes and the dusty recesses of my computer to create the collection. Over the next few days, I’ll post one or two of those that I’ve found so far, just to keep you posted.
