"And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon the tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry....

I have written two poetry books, yet I am not ready to proclaim myself as a Red Room Author. I have a little bit of work to do.
First, I am starting to get back in the habit of writing everyday. Sometimes it's beautiful, sometimes it's painful; but, it always a relief to release a hidden world...

I want to study creative writing and philosophy. Since my freshman year in college everyone has been telling me that the two don't mix. Frankly, I'm tired of hearing it. The problem is, I'm not well read enough. If someone asked me what Bad Faith is, I couldn't even give them a clear response. I...

Last night, as if for the first time, I realized I am a writer.

Can happy writers produce great art?
I must admit, I'm a skeptic. I like my writers skirting at the edge of life. I like them alcoholic and drug-ridden, depressed and suicidal. As if the page is the only thing that is keeping them alive.
I don't believe in the happy-writer.
I am certain, that if...

It seems as if Americans like their writers poverty-stricken and struggling. As if being poor, in itself, will bring authenticity to the page. Perhaps there is something to say with regards to life's challenges. Well, I strongly believe you have to pick your battles. And being poor just isn't a...

Welcome to the Red Room.
I have been checking out the website for a few months now. And, quite frankly, I was hesitant to join yet another online community. Technology facinates and frightens me, simultaneously. Today, while looking for an excuse not to write, I caved.
