Hey lovely WDC, Hope your ink never stops flowing. On that note here's a new post. https://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/2347696-Yester-Years Happy October! |
“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.” ― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar (love her) |
Hey, writing really is healing, and I’m so happy to have found kindred spirits here. Everyone I’ve crossed paths with has been so kind—Lilli even gifted me a year’s membership. How sweet is that Btw new post! https://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/2347308-Don-Juan-of-Travel |
For no two places exhale the same perfume. I love the cadence and the poetic nature of this writing. Personally, I'm a field, an open spot embraced by the horizon. Any direction mine to choose. {bitem:2347308} =

Heya, I just want to express my gratitude to everyone who takes the time to leave such thoughtful, heartwarming, and constructive feedback. It acts as a beautiful reinforcement. It teaches what a proper review should look like. And for someone like me, working as a freelance writer, these reviews multiply my chances manyfold. So yes—thank you, truly |

Hey all, is there a group for Mental Health Awareness? If so, please do let me know. I am keen, but I have still not figured out the whole join a group thing. Thanks! |
So far, I cannot find mental health awareness groups on WDC, but I have found good help on YouTube for things I care about, including narcissistic abuse. His name is Jerry Wise. I find him to be encouraging as a rule.. https://www.youtube.com/@jerrywise Spiritually and in all other ways, Jesus is my best help. (John 14:6, KJV) I often share His encouragement and wisdom with my readers. I know that not everyone believes as I do, but I pray that something I've written here will be helpful to you. |
Hey, added a new piece. Give it a read, and constructive feedback is always welcome! https://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/2346561-Don-Juan-of-Travel P.S didn't know how else to share the link. |
Welcome to WDC from the Bee Hive
I love to travel myself. You learn a lot when you go traveling. Looking forward to your adventures here on WDC! |
Is there a platform where one can get paid for writing? Just curious! Please let me know if such a thing exists. Thank you. |
Here is a place to begin looking. https://writers.work/qualify I am needing the same thing. I am beginning my research to answer this question, too. I typed, "online writing jobs" into the Google search window. The link was one of my first suggestions from Google. Keep me informed of your success. Maybe we can both answer this question. ![]() |
