Welcome to Writers Who Have To...

We are a forum of writers. If you're interested in becoming a contributor, send your desired username and email to Jill at: info@writerswhohaveto.com or visit Writers Who Have To... on MySpace.

Write whatever you'd like, whenever you want! This is an open forum for like minded authors. Feedback and comments are necessary! Remember, there are no holds barred, here.

For writers: When publishing make sure to add your username as a tag/label (you'll see the bar at the bottom of your blog edit window). This way it'll be much easier to pull up your work all in one go. Also, if you'd like you can add the type, ie: Short Story, Poetry, Blog, Rant, etc to your labels as well as the genre. This will make sorting much easier! Thank you!

WRITE IT OUT!!!
Remember: Comments are necessary for the survival of all writers!! Feedback is love and love is grand!!!

move

Move. It's ok --
The earth has stopped shaking
maybe now you can grapple
maybe you can gain your footing.

You're stuck.
Knee deep in tar
Spending your life
with the rusted out bones
of extinct creatures.

Try to move.

Don't forget.

That's ok.
It will lend itself in time
and you will be so much more --
more than what you're holding onto.

Being someone else has never been easier
but you have to face that mirror
Day in
Day out
And one day, your image
will break up into a thousand pieces
and where will you go from there?

It's ok. Just move.

Your feet are lead
nailed to the ground and

in times of trouble things get worse.

I know.

But move.

Move with yourself
move along.

Hold on.

Don't let go.

It's not too far out of your reach.

All that you wanted.
All that you have
It's right there --
Hold onto it.
But first, see it.

Thanks, Anita! I know, I haven't really written anything 'new' lately. Been too busy scratching my head trying to build the web site (A BIG PAIN IN MY ASS!)
