Milestone I: 100 Poems

  My goal is to be able to run two blogs till the end of this year and hopefully for the years to come. In order to do that I have to be more realistic when it comes to what I’m going to do instead of giving myself tons of work! Eventually, all my writing will be on this blog. But in order to organize anything I need to start in small steps and my first step will be poetry.

  Originally, my poetry was posted in Wattpad and know has thousands of views. This is why I don’t take it down but instead, I will link the originals to the edited versions on here. Poetry can be short and sweet or it can be real and felt at the core of one’s mind.

  Since 2010 I know that I’ve written at least a thousand poems. And I want to share them all with you. When I first began to write poems I would go back and read them and try to figure out what I was thinking. In my poetry, what was surfacing? It helped me understand myself better. For the sake of organization I’ll write any of the thoughts that I have in a separate post and have the link to that post at the bottom of each poem for readers to access if they choose. I know that this caused my original poetry books to become bulky and I don’t want this blog to suffer in that way.

  Of course, sharing my writing and sharing my thoughts are going to become ‘bulky’ at one point in time. But, at least in this way it’s more organized. I will be posting poems that I edit through Wattpad and through my Google Drive and hopefully I’ll be able to have more content for you instead of less.

  I understand that some of you are here to hear my stories and I hope to be able to reach out to you all as well. For now, my focus is to get through 100 poems and post them to you. I hope you enjoy this first milestone. I hope to reach this goal within three months tops. Thank you all for having patience with me as I continue my writing journey. I’m glad you all came to visit!

Poems will begin posting on April 1st.
