Studied opera. Real voice on paper.



Backstory

Musical theatre, ballet, classical voice ... I was on the steady path for the stage at a young age. In college, I switched to English Literature and never looked back. I finally discovered that I never wanted to sing someone else's words. I wanted to compose my own!

I've been a publishing poet for almost 17 years. What's your story about finding your voice? Hope you enjoyed my 6-word memoir. C. N.

L2L3 says,

Congratulations on the feature. Welcome to Smith. Glad you're here.

Bookndz says,

Thank you to everyone for choosing my 6-word memoir as a favorite. I didn't realize I was featured. Creating a snapshot of life in just 6 words is a highly addictive challenge. Love this concept!

L2L3 says,

NOW look at where you are!!! Congrats again!:-D

Believe says,

Congrats on the feature. I'm a musician myself. Found my voice through teaching.

sisterpoet says,

@believe, we have lots in common:) I now teach voice, the one that finds its way to the page.

@Bookendz-congrats on the feature and finding and using your voice

Bookndz says,

@L2L3 = Oh my gosh! How did that happen? So lovely. I am so honored to be the featured "backstory" on the homepage now.

@sisterpoet and @Believe - Voice is a wonderful thing in all of its forms. It lights up the soul, to be sure. In addition to writing, I teach poetry writing workshops.

MrsPremise says,

Congratulations Bookendz! Welcome to our neighborhood!

Bookndz says,

Thank you for the kind congrats and the warm welcome, MrsPremise!

sisterpoet says,

Bookendz....more in common, so do I! I teach teachers:) They need to walk the talk. They want kids to be writers, they need to be writers first and find their voice
