ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
My name is Tim Baker and I'am 21 years old. I live in Adelaide Australia, but soon I leave for Europe. I have been developing my writing/art since high school and hope to acheive something with my work. At the moment I'am trying to write a novel amongst other things as well as my "text art". My reason for writing is to provoke extension of thought and have an impact. So please either love or hate my work, just don't sit on the fence. [October 2002]

-Untitled- Tim Baker
I am too scared to say what I think, I always feel strange; But nothing bad has ever happened to me, I feel pysched but always low, I want to destroy something, I want to experience the world, I want the world to experience me, I was in love but now I hate her, I loved my best friend; But she didn't reciprocate, I am lucky to have a friend for life, I want people to take notice, I'm up then I'm down, I can't work out why, I am easy going and laid back; But I never let my guard down, I fear death at a young age, I will get revenge, I will have vengeance, I will not sit back and be screwed with, I did not take her innocence; But she did take my dignity, I have no idea but I have the answers, Don't tell me to get over it, Don't tell me what to do, Never lie to me, Never take me for a ride, You don't understand, hey.... Neither do I, I will break through, I will crush this darkness within me, I will be happy, I will make my mark and you will take notice, Then I will fade discreetly into obscurity; And you will remember.

"Dear Tim, This piece is fantastic. You really struck a chord with me with this one. I have read all your work posted because I saw that you too are from Adelaide. My name is Juliet and I too am a struggling writer. I am a 23 year old english literature student at uni Sa. Not that I'm trying to get recognition. I mainly do my work for me so I can release what insanity I have in my head but if people like my work it's all a bonus. You have a great gift and never change your work for anyone. Never compromise your work for small minded individuals. You know who you are and what you want, if they can't see that then stuff them. You have the ability to be great. Live your dream. "A good book is never exhausted. It goes on whispering to you from the wall." Anatole Broyard. Keep it up and I'm sure I will hear about you in the future and say I knew his work way back when." -- Juliet, adelaide, SA, Australia.
"Tim, this piece is too good to leave untitled, may I suggest something like "Growing Pains" or "Heart on a Wire" or some such thing! Anyway, I liked it because it was honest, passionate and written from the heart! Reminded me of how I felt when I was twenty one a long time ago! I know you hate to hear things like "Good Job" so let me conclude by saying never give up on your dreams and keep writing!!!" -- Monte.
