I have been on a site called Wattpad for almost a year now. I like that this website is for undiscovered writers.
I currently have four stories on here. One has a ghost in it, two have Mermaids and one also includes werewolves and witches.
I feel a little odd writing about witches, as I have never seen any African American Wiccans or witches for that matter. I guess they are out there just like the rest of the supernaturals. I keep running into brief spells of writers block and then suddenly I get an idea.
I have been trying to learn how to finish my ideas instead of stopping and starting again. My main thing with Wattpad is that while I have about 17 followers, only two commented. I use the feedback I get to revise my stories, if I don't get anything then I end up unpublishing the story.
Aside from that I enjoy it. My daughter is a writer on there too.

I
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us-if at all-not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.
III
This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.
Is it like this
In death's other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.
(Elliot's last, most quoted stanza)
V
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper*.

Let us not forget those who have gone before us, who have fought the good fight with faith, and courage. Black History Month is due in remembrance of them all, and us today must not allow those torches of courage to ever go out. Kudos to the Black Panther movie, now a superhero movie for us--not one of a "pale like," one that bolts out of a phone booth wearing a flying like red and blue cape. Blessings to you all!
