The Evolution of Self Belief: From Doubt to Certainty

Behind the Page: #1
For the first edition of my Behind the Page series, I will discuss my poem, "Saturday Afternoon". You can read it here: I wrote the poem "Saturday Afternoon" back in 2009. It was first published in the now-defunct online journal First Reads, based in the country of St. Vincent. It and another of my poems, "Morning Glow", appeared there together. Later in 2010, both poems were included in my mixed genre chapbook, "Beyond the Horizon: Journeys in Poetry and Prose".

Eavesdropping Sleepy Mission (Unofficial) Challenge Winners
First, off let me apologize for making you wait. I know I'm a day late, and I posted two stories before this one today, but let me explain: I got called into work last night, and also, I am weirdly particular about the layout of my profile. I like it to go in a certain order when possible (unless there's a series involved.)
