Welcome to  Picture Perfect 

 Each week a theme will be posted up on Thursday, and you are invited to put up your best picture with that theme in mind, it should be just

 "ONE and ORIGINAL"

 (i.e not off the internet)

Then come back and post a comment on this page
so that everyone can link to your blog and see your pic.

By all means mention your camera and lens used, and if the picture has been altered or enhanced in anyway! Out of the box thinking is encouraged!!

Please open your page for viewing for all for that day...and then visit as many others as you can! Try and post a decent size pic on your blog page, so much is lost if the pic is too small or too big.

The entries will close at midnight on Friday

oOo

The theme this week will is:

 Hobbies

Your host for the week is ~ JohnOh ~

It all starts here:

Out Of My brains Comes Stuff

Thanks to Tint, I do have an entry for this week. My writing, although it is more my passion than a hobby. To the right is roughly 685 poems and 138 short stories, not counting a novel in progress, and another three dozen I have written since about three years ago.

I first started writing in 1963, but never became focused as a writer until the mid to late 80's. Writing for me, releases all the energy stored within me, allows me to create a place where I, or the reader can soak up a bit of fantasy and either smile or be amazed or even aghast. I don't stay in one genre` either ... I don't like limitations ... so if you like fantasy, science fiction, romance, drama, horror, westerns, comedy, children's stories, then you'll find it somewhere in my writings. Several of my stories as well as poetry/prose and some Haiku can be found over my way. If you ever get the urge to stop over ... feel free. Like I tell everyone ... the door is never locked.

*****

Right To Write

*

Alone in thought

to create madness

from nothing;

to create adventure

which others

can be exhilarated in,

is a small price well spent;

for hours spent alone.

*

The right to write,

centered in madness,

never seen until finished.

*

The right to write,

alone in thought,

with an adventure to be found.

*

The writer becomes everyone,

from hero to villain,

fiction to reality;

describing life and death,

sorrow, love and humor.

From a Villa in France,

a murder mystery in the orient,

to an old-fashioned romance.

*

… and the writer

lives it all.

From Within A Soul @ 2001

You give me hope for my writings...I love to write, but life for me gets in the way. I do what I can, when I can. I have recently begun working on one that is posted on my site as well. Maybe when you stop by to see my PPF you can peruse some of what I've done, if you care to.

Ahhhh yes! I too have recently felt the need to write., and have written some short stories about Vietnam which are in my blog section. I also have written some so called poems although I am not to good at it yet. When I feel the need to write it's because of something that has disturbed me. After I feel better. It's like a cleansing.

An interesting entry.

I never did like to write, in spite of reading constantly, but I surprise myself by doing a blog.

I did like your entry very very much. I always think that those who write either poetry or prose, they have their very peculiar world that surely is much more beautiful than ours.
Thanks for stopping by my page.
I am sure I will be back...

Have a great WE.

Bill HAPPY HAPPY am I that you posted, And you hit it on the head, a hobby is a passion!! Wonderful write up, loved the poem of the writer!!!! Glad this is your passion and hobby and that you share it with us.
fluffyj wrote on Apr 12
Awesome! I didn't know you were a poet, though I did know that you wrote short stories. Writing is indeed a passion that calls and sometimes for me, almost possesses, with the need to be put down on paper, screen, or pebbles if that is what it takes to allow the words to emerge. Wonderful!
ninakobie wrote on Apr 12
Thank you for sharing your great passion (hobby) with us. You have a very fertile mind to be able to write such a variety of books. I love reading, so keep on writing, there are never too many books or poems.
