Inside sources have informed me that she has begun writing poetry and hopes to publish it eventually if all works out for her. I know that for many years she has written poetry off and on, but until recently she has struggled with the craft due to lack of confidence in her writing and stagnating creativity. I was pleased with the news that she has given it another try.
So far I hear that Airen has written two rough poems, one of which is not yet finished, and she plans to share these through her emotiblog, along with any others in the future should she find herself inspired again.
I'm told she is taking an English class which centers specifially around poetry. So far her class has only studied two poets, but learning about the style and unique voice of each poet has helped to understand how she could improve her own poetry, using imagery, metaphor, and emotion.
From what I've gathered, I know that one of these poems is about a sensitive news story from 2009 (perhaps this is the unfinished work?), and Airen is somewhat reluctant to blog it, but still wants to share what she's made, even if only for constructive feedback. She has resolved this year to hold nothing back...and that certainly includes her writing.*
I truly am happy that Airen has decided to once again diversify her writing talents. I will be praying for her to be a success, and I ask that you all do the same.

*I had neglected to mention that as of her birthday, Airen has successfully produced a list of resolutions, some of which have been carried over from last year; I hope to hear details on this list very soon.
