Profile: I never knew I had the desire to write until I started writing for myself; and, not for a deadline or an instructor. Now, I am inspired by my friends and family (and readers) to continue. I created this blog because of my brother (author David Burdett), in all his serene, simplicity said, "You should." I have about fifteen years of writing experience (10 years of instruction). I have written, in exhaust, for a major university in rhetorical studies and communication (which was one of the top universities in rhetoric). I have experience in writing commentaries and articles on health and beauty, animal rights, and cultural awareness. I have done poetry submissions too. My works are copy written. I have worked as a copy editor and proofreader for a major California college. This blog is a work in progress. I am here because this is something I love to do. I hope to attract, an audience who, like me, thirsts for a variety of knowledge when they start reading my articles and poetry. I encourage those who are interested to become part of this dialogue—this forum. I want to connect and be part of your forum if possible. Thank you for reading. C. L. Burdett
