I don't show most of my writing, just a little bit that I think is passable.  I am usually harder on my writing than most people, I think partially because I read so much AMAZING writing, and I know mine isn't that good.  Kinda crazy perfectionist that way.

And, here is a saying of mine that I firmly believe is true:
       "The best writing, no matter if a poem, a short story, or a 900 page novel, comes from the writer’s heart, and reflects that onto the reader."
                          - Melissa Johnson (ME!)
People can take this and use it, if they want, but please use my name too! I don't want people saying that it is by Mr. Anon Y. Mous, or anything! 

I have a leopard gecko, <see my profile pic!>, named Keiji.  He is a sweetie.  :)

I usually read a book a day, and it doesn't keep the doctor away!  :(  A former eye doctor told me to stop reading! That is why he is a former.
