I Am What You See

Who am I?
That some may wish to know
Not as much a stranger as you think
I am the hero and the villain
Every monster, god, and goddess
They are the masks that I reveal
Upon the page and screen

Who am I?
A father who works hard
To balance all the children
One of flesh and blood
All others on the mental plane
Each one yelling for attention
Creating endless dins

Who am I?
No different than the man you know
My stories make no change
College tales and whimsy fun
Not much from present day
Cooking, cleaning, and typing
I live the life of a stay-at-home

Who am I?
An author
A father
A friend
The person you have seen
On here for two long years
I truly have held little back

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

  2. I think we pour ourselves out into our writing until we are like spent balloons, crashed out flat on our desks. When I get to that stage I read more books and slowly pump myself up again until fully inflated! LOL!

    • I actually stare at the ceiling or listen to music when I hit that point. I learned early on that using other books to recharge my imagination caused me to try and copy what I was reading. So I use reading between projects these days.
