Cindy J. Smith stopped by to share some of her Poetry!

Today, Cindy J. Smith stopped by to share some of her fabulous poetry and tell us a little bit about herself! Come sit down and give her a listen! 

When I am not writing poetry, I drive a truck over-the-road with my husband.  My daughter is an Angel in heaven and I have a beautiful granddaughter.  I love the color purple and my favorite gem is opal.  I believe in magic, fairies and dragons.

Me too! I love faeries and dragons! :D

When did you first start writing ? 
 I have been writing as long as I can remember.  I just did not share what I wrote until recently.

What do you love about writing?
I love the way you can paint pictures in people's minds through words.  It is so cool when someone says the see or feel exactly what I write.

What do you need when writing? Music, candy, silence, etc.
I actually don't need anything as I have no writing time.  My poems just come to me when they feel like it, I don't force anything.


Can you provide us with an excerpt? (Excerpt and book cover :D)

CANDLE

Looked far and wide
Could see no friend
So dug a hole
And jumped right in

Falling so fast
All was a blur
My only thought
Was how I hurt


Your posted words
Went to my core 
Touched my poor soul
I grabbed for more 

Lyrics chosen
Then songs you played
Chased my sorrow
And blues away

Started chatting
Warm smile returned 
You gave to me
What my heart yearned

Very thankful
You were right there
Gave of your time
To show you care

Flickering flame
Your candle light
A sweet beacon
Brightened my night 



Fun time!
Do you play games? If so what kind? If not, why the heck not?  Usually just solitaire, I got addicted to Farmville and I spent a fortune so I don't play computer games.

Favorite TV guilty pleasure? Copper 

LOVE this show! 

Favorite author?
Anne Rice before I found all these great Indie authors.


Favorite Action Hero?  Wolverine

Either/ or Lightening round!
Are you a dog person or a cat person? both actually
Chocolate or Vanilla ice cream?  Chocolate

Fruits or Veggies?  Fruits
Coke or Pepsi?  Pepsi
Soda or Pop? Soda
Sweet or Sour? Sour

If you traveled back in time, what time period would you want to visit most? I would love to go back to the Renaissance period, I loved the clothes and the enlightened attitude.  Who would you hope to meet? I would love to meet Van Gogh.

The Important stuff!
Any advice for aspiring authors?  Get a thick skin and get a good editor.

Where can we stalk… I mean find you?(Links baby!)
