What meter are you using? (I’m not very familiar with meter so I have to ask.)

The rhymes are slant rhymes I think? They’re not exact. But it’s pretty consistent until it gets to the last stanza. I don’t think that…[Read more]

Essentially, it’s a rhyming poem, but not a metered one. Some sources consider it free verse,…[Read more]

I’ve written several endings that all have slight variations in words and…[Read more]

One of the edits I’m considering is possibly connecting some of the shorter, broken lines in the part of the poem you mention. It’s supposed…[Read more]

I wrote this poem after my uncle’s passing. He was self-taught on guitar and left a few of the instruments behind (as well as many people who loved him).

I think it must’ve marked it as spam before because I edited it a few times? Not really sure. Weird.

The Shabby Guitar

Silent is the shabby guitar 

Locked and put away

Faded are the songs it made 

Folded are the hands that played

Silent is the shabby guitar 

Slowly losing its tune

While people come a…[Read more]

Hi, @kathleenramm ! I haven’t tried reposting it yet. It’s still hidden so far as I can make out. I see on my profile that I made the post, but it’s still marked as spam in the thread section.

I’ll think about it for sure, @light-warrior-pen. 🙂

I’m actually considering altering one of those lines slightly, so I’m curious about what you think.

It would be…[Read more]

You grasped the concept of my poem perfectly! I’m glad you enjoyed it and found it relatable. 🙂 Because it’s very personal, I really wasn’t sure if anyone would be interested in it. I’m glad I decided to share it!

I’m still working on those last lines. I’m torn between fleshing them out and changing them a bit to better…[Read more]

The subject is me, the author, and the boat and sea is a fictional, metaphorical dream I used to describe the feeling of living in myself, I suppose. (Although I was next to the sea and I have been in wooden boats many times. My da is a fisherman, so.)

I’m glad you pointed that out…[Read more]

Thanks!

I haven’t written any lately, I’ve been so busy with work. Maybe I’ll write one this weekend.

This is my most recent poem. Most of my poetry is brief in length. Usually, I get out an idea or a feeling and then stop.

Forgottenings

Sediments of nostalgia shape a place:

Like icing on a cake, wrinkles in a face

Aging, changing, but ever the same feelings,

Nameless emotions, memories stirring

Like ghosts,…[Read more]

Think of your website as your “home base.” This is where you want to direct more traffic to, because there people will learn more about your book/whatever you’re selling, how to buy it…[Read more]

So sorry to hear that! Praying!

I used to totally pants my first drafts. Now I find it more helpful to make a plot outline and scene outlines before I get writing, but I still give myself the freedom to deviate from that outline if I feel like it. That’s just me though. 🙂

I like to rap about whatever’s on my mind and what I’m feeling. It’s a refreshing mode of expression. 😁😎👍

What do you like to rap about?

Still, I know very little about it, or if anything I’m writing is any good. So I was wondering if any of y’all are familiar with rap?

So it varies.

Plot and characters (or at least, main characters) are very connected for me, though. They’re essentially…[Read more]

All I know is that there’s something awesome and powerful about it, and also vaguely incomprehensible. XD

And cool. Which reminds me, I…[Read more]

So exciting! 😀 I’m pretty sure I signed up, but if you don’t see my name on the list let me know and I’ll definitely sign up for this 😉

That’s so exciting! 😀 I’d definitely recommend figuring out how you want the whole series to end. Ask yourself, at the end of the last book, what do things look like? Where are the characters? What has been resolved? What hasn’t? In regards to plot and character arcs, think of the series as a whole one big character arc, or one big…[Read more]

I can definitely understand your dilemma lol XD I personally don’t usually like books with that many POV’s (just because it can be hard to keep them all straight in my head), but that’s just me. I would say that you’re definitely doing something right if you’ve realized that each of your major side characters have protagonist…[Read more]
