Looking back, moving forward
Well we come to the end of the 00's. So far I'm not impressed. With deteriorating global and national affairs, it's been pretty much a downhill slide since September 11, 2001. A U.S. President is [...]
Censorship
I was under the impression that censorship was something that was done in The Fifties, and currently existed only in dictatorships and religious states. How wrong I was. While in my local library [...]
You gotta love it!
People write for a lot of reasons. They write about a variety of topics. Some prefer to write fiction, some non-fiction; some pick prose, others poetry. There are technical writers, copy writers, [...]
In the details
The first thing I ever wanted to be in life was an astronaut. I bet any kid who grew up in the 60's and 70's, and who saw men on the moon, had that dream. Next, I wanted to be a teacher; they were so [...]
List it!
Ran into trouble getting a post out last week, so I'll get you this one a day early. We make lists every day: To Do lists in our Day-Timers (do people still use Day-Timers?), shopping lists, list [...]
Wide world of words: more ways lists can improve your writing
Words are the tools of writing. To be a good writer, I think one must love words. Even before I understood the significance of words, I appreciated their beauty on the printed page. There are reports [...]
Don't let 'em get you down
Absolutely no one I've ever told I was a writer believed me until I showed them something I'd written that was published. As a youngster, I told everyone I wanted to be a writer when I grew up. [...]
Write promptly
If you're like me, writing ideas are often difficult to come by, especially on a daily basis. I attend various writing groups, once a week on average. I also try to get to workshops when I know about [...]
On line writing communities
I am a firm believer in writing groups. Nothing is more motivational and inspring to me than to meet with other writers, give and receive feedback, try a writing exercise, and just basically share [...]
The most important question
Whatif by Shel Silverstein Last night, while I lay thinking here,some Whatifs crawled inside my earand pranced and partied all night longand sang their same old Whatif song:Whatif I'm dumb in [...]
Stop writing!
One of the most excruciating things for me is revision. I tend to edit as I write, which makes for slow going. It's a hard habit to break, but I'm working on it. Another obstacle to publication is [...]
Farewell
After much deliberation and consideration, Mr. Write's Blog will no longer be posted publicly. It will be available only to invitees at another blog space. E-mail me for information on how to [...]

The Broken, Glass Side
Here is something I submitted to Salt Lake Street News. An abbreviated version of this poem appeared in the SLCC Community Writing Center publication Bridges; Volume 6, No. 1, winter 2004. It only [...]
Pencil me in
Since I've been  without my own computer for some time now, I find the scratching noise a pencil makes on the paper replaces the clack of the key board for me. Also, it's hard to find good pens that [...]
Microfiction 2010
Even though I was very busy volunteering and participating in the Utah Arts Festival, I had time to sit in on some mini-workshops presented by SLCC Community Writing Center. Here is my result of the [...]

Silent Smoke
In the dark province of your winding thigh,I've been roving all night long,Crawling through the sticky thorns of the cursed and lovely tongs which had covered all your corpse
I've been smoking [...]
The Man & The Lake
An old man walks straight to a quiet lake, in a landscape of repeated patagonian beauty. He approaches wearily but accurately, as the Salisbury cathedral clock. When the man is two meters from the [...]
Close To Me
Night
Stars
No moon
Only a girl shaking her gypsy hips
No one else
Dead dog, drunk driver
The blood of my ancestors blended with the wine

Begining is [...]
Next to you
Echoes of an absent temple
Ruins of decadence dressed in exuberant rags and high heels
Your legs and my arms
