Tainted Soul

So what is the deal with my blog Tainted Soul?
I started writing poems and short pieces of text back when I was about 15 years old.
I kept every one of them in small books and folders, always managed to keep them all together without losing a single one of them.
As the years passed, my collection of poetry kept growing in style and size.
So much so that at the time I'm writing this I have written about 243 poems in total.
It has become some kind of diary of everything I have lived through in the last 14 years of my life.
The process of putting them all online was nothing but huge. Not only having to copy everything from pieces of paper to the screen, but the fact that I put them out for you to read was a big deal for me.
But I didn't want to stop there. Two years ago I started to write a book about that blog.
I took every poem I had ever written and gave some background as to the idea and meaning of each piece. I ended up in having printed two copies of the two books they eventually became.
I'm actually in the progress of writing the third book. It's a slow process because I still don't have enough writings to fill a complete third book. But I will get there sooner or later.
If you should be interested in it you can always ask me for a virtual copy.
It has been some kind of therapy for me to be writing for so long.
It gave me a possibility to get things of my chest. Things I never could tell to people.
Luckily the paper is always listening...
