*read writing history I before continuing here.

first writing after getting puter was based on an occurance in an online chat room. a medieval fantasy realm, it was love at first type. within the first few days i visited a bard showed up performing loreena mckennit lyrics. i talked to him, was looking for an occupation that would make me at least minimally useful in the land. ended up his apprentice.

one night not long later, he fell asleep at the keyboard. those of us there did some things trying to wake him up, which was rather amusing since all we had were words. i wrote it into an epic poem...which i unfortunately haven't finished yet but which impressed him with its humor despite that.

around the same time, i had started work on a more personal poem. i showed it to one of the people there i had adopted as a sibling, she asked me to do one for her virtual wedding. she was marrying the bard i had apprenticed to. i took their online names, the first verse or two of that personal poem and turned it into my first performance. they both loved it. or at least they said they did, LOL.

so i started writing poems. occasionally visited the poetry cafe there and performed, although i wasn't a regular. i met one person at the cafe who i got to be close friends with and another through a mutual friend, both wrote poetry and we shared with each other. one of them is the reason i'm at pathetic now.
