Hi CJ,
You recently left a comment on my blog, so thought I'd follow the link and take a look at yours. I was able to read a couple of your pieces and enjoyed your writing very much.

Thanks again for taking the time to read my poem.

Hi teeveebee, thanks for the compliment. I feel like I still have a long way to go with writing but I’m glad you liked what you read.

Your poem was beautiful, so I was very happy to have stumbled across it. Look forward to reading more. Thanks for stopping by. ;)

Hi CJ, thanks for coming to my blog yesterday. I've read some of your work and i have to say that i like your style. I especially like "The Garden's End". It certainly made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up which, i have come to learn, means that it's very good indeed.
I've tried poetry so many times in the past but have never been very pleased with what i have come up with. I still continue to mess around with it, and although I'm not brilliant at it i sort of enjoy the way poetry doesn't have any rules in terms of how one structures each line and so on.

Hi Katherine. Thanks for the kind words about my writing; I’m glad you liked it. I liked writing the The Garden’s End; it felt very introspective and I hadn’t been as open as that in my poetry before.

I’m still not happy with anything I write; I always see little things to change or something’s not quite what I want it to be… in the end I have to let it go and I’ve learnt to enjoy the process more now. I think that’s why I like poetry; it doesn’t have to follow a structure and that’s very liberating.

Hope you get some good news about your freelancing; sounds exciting. ;)

Hello CJ,

I found your link on Sulz's blog and thought I'd check it out. I've read some of your works and am very impressed. I write constantly but am far to self - conscious to share with others. Reading your work how ever inspires me to reach out to others with what i have written so far.

Hope you don't mind me linking to you from my blog.

Thanks,
NW

Hi NW, thanks for stopping by. I owe sulz a big thanks as I get a lot of people coming from her blog. I need to send her a blogging award or something. ;)

And thanks for the kind words about my writing. I have a long way to go but I love writing and it’s an amazing feeling, putting something of yourself out there for others to read… it’s scary but when you connect with someone, it’s like nothing else. If you do share your work I’d love to see it.

Thanks for commenting and for the link. I’ll be having a look at your blog later. :)

no prob, and I'd be honored if you read my work.

Great because I actually read one of your poems earlier! :) I loved it; just leaving a comment now.
