on your Quill success! Winner - Cultural - Best in Genre for Winner - Death - Best in Genre for Honorable Mention - Emotional - Best in Genre for "Invalid Item" |
| I came across your piece in the 'Read and Review' section where it gives random writing to read. I've been on Booksie for about 4and a half years now. It's very easy to post there with copy/paste. A few members of WDC have started posting there as well as here; I wouldn't say it is the same as comments made on pieces are visible to all, and there is a definite community feel to the place where you get out what you put in. If you decide to give it a go, send me a private message there and I'll follow you. My user name is the same! |
| To the anonymous writer/author who nominated my piece for this year's best short story; I thank you humbly. "Invalid Item" Derek |
So my first born graduated from high school yesterday and I wanted to give her something unique. I knew I wanted to write something inspirational but my prose lacked form. It was not quite a poem and it was not quite a letter. So I let it be, and coined a new term to describe what I created. A 'Po-etter'.
My definition of a Po-etter? It is an item of praise where you simultaneously talk about and talk to the subject. Kooky? |
By the way I took the liberty of rummaging through your portfolio. You are über prolific and a couple of the pieces I read were simply fab.
I’m Derek btw.
Cheers
Stay safe.
