Hello, I am Nancy. I am a writer. Almost seven years ago I came here. "Hey it's free". Well, might as well. I had poems scattered all over. At least here I could vault them. My nervousness, my shyness was fear. I wrote ~ I write. I have to write! It is a calling. Poetry ~ personal ~ biographical at times. I am no expert. Yet the Human Heart has it's calling. What are you called to do in this life? Begin here ~ the answer will come.
