Hi, I have just opened a blog in this community. Unfortunately the name I chose was already taken but as a variant I had to add a suffix on to enable me ton use the name I wanted to commence with. I am a poet & writer and have many years of experience in my chosen field. It's something I do because I love the creativity. I love the art and expression that is achieved when one creates a poem, or story. My blog in this community is presently 'empty', except for a token piece of artwork I uploaded to see how it looked. But it is my intention to upload my poems and stories from my past work and also to write new work and post this to my blog. You say .... "It seems like there is an audience for this sort of thing" ... I agree, but it's finding that audience, attracting it, bringing it back to one's venue (weblog) which is the essential thing to achieve. After that, everything becomes possible... providing one's creative writing - whether it be in poetry or story form - is so expressive that the audience will continue to come back and by doing so will imply they want more :)
Best wishes,

(forgive the suffix to my blogname - something had to be appended and I suppose I retain a wry sense of humour in choosing these numbers)
