Oh, I feel a bit better from the good news (the good news is: self expression from the heart tells to yourself the truth when you read your own words).  basically, anyone who REALLY lets loose when they start writing and then, rework their work with a cooler eye, can become a prophetic wordsmith.  It took me 10 years of STEADY and CONSTANT writing, learning this very fact on my own. At first, you just want to tell a story. Wih poetry. LOVE ONLY can support that: if you are asocial, you can imagine someone in the far distance of your life, and write them poetry at first. Best is when you write about people actually CLOSE TO YOU. 

Because I did not read very much at all in the last 10 years (no complete books in the last 4-5 years), I read my own work ALL THE TIME. Sometimes I wondered why I was so limited in my reading abilities and how it felt constraining to only live, write and read from my own perspective. 

But then I actually REALLY learned to read then: and it is my perspective as a READER that changed especially during those years. I picked up a couple and more pen names along the way: the versatile READER of her own work, became a VERSATILE WRITER.
