One hundred and eighty Poetry Newsletters. I've written newsletters (note: that's plural!) on forms, poetic devices, reviewing poetry, reader reviews, various subjects, people and places, numerous poets, writer's block, emotions, being observant to the world around us, muses, and about a hundred other things. I've opened up and shared the inside me and what makes me tick as a writer.
I love writing these newsletters, but the well is a tad dry. SO I am asking YOU what YOU'D like to see, read about, and know more about. Do you have questions about anything in particular?
Please respond to the newsletter or email and PLEASE let me know! It is important to me to write about stuff people can use in some form or another. |

Beholden writes: For a brief time in the past, I became interested in photography. I scraped enough money together to get myself a half-decent camera and set about turning myself into the greatest photographer who ever lived. Well, if you're going to do something, might as well do it properly.
Many of my photographs were taken when on vacation in exotic and interesting places but, after a time, I found that I was taking fewer and fewer photos. Eventually, I realised that taking the photo was irksome to me - I wanted to experience things, not just record them. The world is full of photos of every conceivable place (and many quite indescribable) and these allow me to visit such places whenever I want. But the experience is only available to the memory if we actually go there and interact with it. Taking photos or writing about it makes scribes and cameras of us.
The time to write about something is afterwards. Immerse yourself, think about it and whatever the memory decides is relevant in it, then write the result. Don't thrash yourself for not having recorded something - yet.
Or do I think that merely because that's the way I am?
It is, I suppose different for everyone. We each have what works for us although there's nothing wrong with mixing it up a bunch or trying something new! :)
