"Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance wont come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That its namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'...

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'..."

Hey everyone - my apologies for being inactive for so long. Truth be told, for awhile I'd pretty much "lost my muse," so to speak. The only time I seemed to be "inspired" was in dark times when I needed to get things off my chest, and some of those aren't really suited for posting.
Hopefully this new turn in my life will also lead to a new turn in writing. I'd really like to discover and work on some different writing styles, but I haven't decided if style is natural to a writer and something that cannot be changed or if you can alter it somehow (not style as in "Shakespearean sonnet" to "Open lyrical poetry" - not genre, in other words, but style).

Before, I used to feel that only things I felt were really inspiration to me - emotional experiences and such. But truths that inspire are also inspiration and are sometimes more fit to write about in these times where conversation is a rare art and truth is a hard commodity to come by.

Anyway...

Not much else to say, so I'll try to write later.

Hope you all are well!
