I have always wrestled with the idea of having multiple accounts ... and what it really comes down to is that it should be an idea that needs to be wrestled with. Many people have multiple accounts: one for their literature, another for their stock photography, etc.

I originally took up this account because I thought my poetry was horrible but wanted input from people who were better than I ... and I didn't want to subject the people viewing my visual works to my horrible written works. Then, I wanted to share my poetry with people who were focused on that aspect of artistic expression. Also, being the anal organization freak that I am, I wanted only one type of submission listed (i.e. I didn't want an account that had all sorts of submissions ... I wanted order and cleanliness). However, this website and the friends that I've made here, have taught me that it doesn't matter what you think. We're here to help each other out, etc.

So ... I actually created another account so that I could consolidate some of my works. I dabble in many different fields but I'll share most because I know that I'm growing and I'll try not to care what other people say (if it's negative, that is). I feel really uneasy about this (and I might back out, being the insecure crazy person that I am), but I am one step closer.

I hope you all understand and ... please don't crucify me. I'm trying.

Ed: ~prevail sounds cooler, anyway!
