Vooman's Voice is my political cartoon and or blog on the state of the world, politics, art, poetry, family or whatever else, I, in America with freedom of speech wish to speak, draw or screech about. I am hopeful that humor will enter into my views as I believe comedians manage to tell more truths than anyone. I write poetry, I paint, I sculpture. I cartoon and I try to learn the madness of the techno world without proper instruction.
I have lots of ways to 'lighten up'. If I've learned anything from writing my blog its that sometimes, a long winded sentence is not easy to write. I don't expect everyone to enjoy what I write. I usually learn from what I do write. What I am learning recently is that writing about resolution has created more conflict than I think I've experienced for quite some time. I'm learning that many people react dramatically to the idea of resolving something, especially in our family. I write dialogue constantly in my plays, so I choose in my blog to explore the demands of writing prose. I have noticed that in the last six months, the amount of minutes people spend reading my entries has increased, substantially, so people are not falling off, they are staying on. However, I'm recently contemplating stopping writing here, as it seems to lately created complications in my life. I suppose my writing also parallels some of what I spend my time reading, and I've been reading some tough books. Faulkner wrote sentences that sometimes where two pages long. I'm no Faulkner, in fact, I have trouble reading him, but there isn't a quorum on how long a sentence should be. If this sounds defensive, it probably is, I've been taking some 'hit's lately, the more you write the more it seems people want to criticize.
