My thoughts on writing and other random things as they come up.

This is a blog where I keep my thoughts and daily comments about writing and WDC.

I really like his paragraph at the end, talking about it, too!

Just lovely! Kinda sideways, but it reminded me of my old Buick that I inherited when my grandfather passed away. No gloves, but little remnants of his pipe tobacco everywhere. Completely different sentiment, I know, but the poem still too me there while it was also bringing me along with the poet. I love it when reading poetry is like that!

I love the line, "where his growth scared him."

I'm also glad to be introduced to more female poets. I feel like I'm not familiar with enough of them.

I stumbled on the same line. For me, it's because it wasn't the same voice as what I'd perceived up to that point.

Gorgeous poem, though.

I am loving this activity for getting me to articulate why the poems that stick with me do stick with me, but I'm not experiencing any surprises in my personal preferences...yet.

Oh, gorgeous! Thank you for introducing me to this poem! I'm marking it to read again and again later.

I love where the first line breaks off, as well as, "playing music with words." I bet she was an inspiring teacher.

Oh, I love this poem. Thank you for introducing me to it, and for your personal perspective. I relate to your under- or over-reacting. And to the poet's depiction of the latter.

Demographic Condition of Mainstream Publishing

Hm.

Just - Hmmm.

Demographic condition on mainstream publishing.

.

The artist as the engineer, or the psychologist.

I don't agree with everything he says, but this article is interesting.

I DO think it's very important to keep our audience in mind when writing. After all, the audience of one really doesn't pay very well....

And I think it helps us craft a better story if we are writing with the time of the reader (and the reader's interest) in mind.

But I was kind of offended by some of what he said. Wait - I wonder if that is what he meant to do...

Best,

Poetry month is coming - One Book One Community

I finally have started at 2014 Poetry Journal.

Last year's journal started in April, and I had several works accepted out of the pool

Some of them were no good of course.

But - I'm hopeful by April of this year, I will have a couple of substance started.

Now if I can just wrestle the words around...

Hope all is well with you.

Remember - APRIL IS POETRY MONTH!

And it's just around the corner.

In other news - Reading Fahrenheit 451 as part of the one book one community project. So far - very interesting.

I'm doing immersion reading (listening to the audio book while reading the actual book) some of the time.

Some of the time just one or the other.

Learning a lot, just by studying the story. I kind of like the way he writes.

Some of it goes against some of the modern teachings.

For instance, Bradbury says "The front door shut gently." (page 7).

I think the modern way to say it would be "The front door shut." or perhaps - to skip it all together.

But I'm thinking the way Bradbury wrote it provides us with a very important visual.

>................hmmm.....much to learn!

Best,
