My name is Joanne. Writing has always been a natural talent for me. My ability to write any kind of document on absolutely any subject with no filler/no fluff has been a passion of mine since college. The poetry, though, is weird... I absolutely hated poetry all through school and all the way up to the point I wrote my first poem at the of twenty-six. It happened because I just kept getting a couple phrases out of my head. My poetry is deeply personal, so I do not post everything. Also, most of it is depressing. I have tried to write more happy things, but I'm never inspired when I am happy.
