Blog on writing; Poetry and short stories - comments, critiques et al. |
| Have been pretty lax in keeping up with my Blog over the last couple of weeks. It's been extremely busy lately, as I work for a municipality in Massachusetts and we are right in the middle preparation for the new "FY2008" budget. The town runs fiscally, from July 1st through June 30th. Just about prepared and ready to go, so hopefully things will slow down a bit. I don't know if you have a chance to check out the weekly "battles" for the poetry league here at WDC....each week, we are paired up against another poet (by rankings/standings) and we write an original poem on a radomly assigned topic...We have three days to write (poems are due on Sunday evening - posted Monday mornings) and everyone here at WDC is allowed (and encouraged) to cast a vote for which poem that they think is best. A vote does (supposedly) require an explanation/review as to why you have chosen the poem you have chosen.... It is a lot of fun each week, and does force me to write at least one poem per week..... Check it out if you get a chance. Although it was one of my "new years resolutions", I haven't had a chance to sit down and really get into the nitty-gritty of this site....really check out all the the "tools" and different things that be done on the site. I would like to figure out how to put pictures on some of my posts/in my port/etc..., create additional folders within my port (different types of writings/dates and times, etc...). I do tend to have problems with computers...I'm certainly not a "computer guy"...I can run them (usually) and that's about it....lol. Well, that's about it for today.... Will try to update more often..... Have a great day!! Rick |
