I am the 24-year-old editor of a weekly newspaper in South West Florida. I love to write, clearly, or I wouldn’t be here. However, my favorite work does not always appear in the form of a media article. I write poetry, stories and I am working on my first novel.
I’m from upstate New York, where I was a crime reporter after graduating Plattsburgh State University with a B.A. in Journalism and a B.A. in Communications.
I also like to edit so if anyone is looking for an editor for hire, drop me a comment any time.

Blue-green eyes aren't my type. Neither is light brown, almost blond hair. I usually go for brown eyes and dark hair. Quiet and more reserved typically isn't my style, either. And yet... ...you are all of these things. You aren't on my list of everything I was looking for, and I can't get enough of you. We've only just met, yet I am fascinated. Intriqued. Are you real? I'll find out, I'm sure. Please don't mistake my distance. Too many heart aches have made me closed. I dare you to open these...

In the middle of no where, When it's just us, If I'm angry with you, If I make a mistake, If I hurt you without meaning to, When we're in a room full of your closest guy friends, When I'm crying and I don't know why, When I'm bloated and frumpy and haven't showered yet, After you come home from a long hard day, After we have disagreed on a core belief, After we were together 20 years, If we only met yesterday, If it weren't for the history, If I gained 50 pounds, While I'm having a hard time,...

Of time spent. Of moments left to spend. Of situations, what they are, what they want them to be. The past embracing the future, the future accepting the past. No present. Of the embrace. The acceptance. Delusions. That moment that changed everything. That ruined everything. So close. Too close. My heart. Your hurt. Caring too much for you, not enough for myself. I want to tell you. To look in the eyes and explain. I try. I try all the time. Preparations. The words. The way. Turned to dust th...

Far from perfect, with perfect intentions. Never becoming what I want them to be. Expressions. Obsessions. Connections. Regressions. The night falls darkest just before morning light. I lost sight of it. That blue diamond called my soul. Where did it go? Now I know. Sleeping. Dreaming. Believing. Conceiving. Behind my minds eye, waiting for the right moment to show itself. There it is. Having been there all along, it laughs. Hiding beneath a thick cloud of what has been. Betrayal. Hurt. Misun...

He has been miserable, throwing tantrums and acting out. I can't tell you how many times I have thought that if I ever acted that way at 5 years-old, my behind would be raw by the time my mother was through with me. With all the time-outs I have given him, he has never budged. Four days a week I come here when his Mom works the night shift at the hospital. I got this side job after my sister Jen, the nurse manager at the Health Park emergency room, told me of her friend, Lori, a single Mom in...

You have an incredible writing ability. I love the way you use the past and the present to illustrate the story. Are you going to continue this into a sort of, "Chapter Two"? I hope so. I'm going to read some of your other works, as well. Thank you for enlightening me.
I could not agree with you more. This is not the forum for editing grammar and spelling. That's what editors are for. This is a place to share ideas and get feedback on them. Kudos to your thoughts.
I think it is important for you to find the answers to the questions you have. Talk to your adoptive parents and family. Tell them of your curiosity. Explain to them that it is not that they aren't good enough, but you have a natural need to know where you came from. Then, go find out. There are many resources online and in the government to help you along the way. I wish you luck, my friend.I hope you find what and who you are looking for and that, when you do, you are not disappointed.
I would have to agree with the other person's review. While what you wrote was well said, you offer no solution. Quiting smoking is clearly not easy or, for the very reasons you listed, every smoker would quit immediately. It is important when you offer such an opinion or warnings to include alternatives for those who may agree with you, but need more information.
I don't know what any of this is about. But I do know that you make me want to read more. You use the sort of detailed description in your work that makes one actually feel as though he is there, seeing the scene unfold with his own eyes.
