I remember someone here asked what we would complain about with a poem. and oh boy I do have a small complaint so here it goes:
"Are you looking for a job? dreaming to make the money?"
"Well then don't worry we got you! with a very simple advice sonny"
"You can crawl in the mud, sleep on needles, or even go hug a bear after rubbing yourself with honey"
"Do it all and never give in!"
"But be careful! and do not try the labyrinth called: LinkedIn"

Do you sometimes ask yourself: " why/ how did I write this?" be it in the good or bad sense? or do you 100% understand where your writings are coming from?

dogpack saving 4premium+ Author Icon - sometimes after finishing and reading again it feels like a completely different person was writing, it almost creeps me out.
When I go back and read some of my early stuff, it seems to read better than some of my more current. I've often wondered if writings ripen with age or if age makes witings seem riper.

Also, it doesn't help when someone points out in a review some deep meaning that I had no idea I'd written. Who or what had me put that in there and never told me?
My autobiographical stuff has been frank, to say the least. I've surprised myself at just how uninhibited I've been. Whether that's good or bad is another matter, but it's all out there now.

Some of my fiction can be a bit on the dark side, and I've deleted one or two more extreme efforts (mainly for bad execution). There was one spectacularly twisted effort from the end of last year - a stream-of-consciouness contest entry that ended up not being submitted. As they'd say on Sesame Street, this vignette was brought to you by the letters W, T and F. I have no idea where that doozy came from, but it's still on my port. *Smile*

I think this is the first time I feel I wrote something I shouldn't... but then why did I post it here? and why am I even talking about it?? or maybe I was just meant to write it so if you find my latest writing useful just tell me lol

ever get that moment when you're like :"alright i'll write about adventure...wait now i feel like writing something cool...on second thought perhaps i should try the love stuff?...but that can be depressive now you know" only to end up writing a weird combination of lines that supposedly talks about all of those? yeah i just did that only to delete it and write about something else entirely...i need to clear my thoughts for real sometimes lol

Notice: a reminder to anyone who reviewed/ submitted something i wrote on March (which is everything on my portfolio now) that tomorrow i'll be deleting them(or some of them) to make space for new ones. in case you want to read them again either download them yourself or tell me and i'll send them. i'll put a list of them tomorrow on my bio. thank you for reading. P.S: i don't take blame in case you submitted something today as a last entry to a march contest or something.

despite being already 8 months on my "vacation", i still freak out sometimes when i wake up and see its 11 AM thinking "damn did i really just miss a whole day in university?" only to return to reality and add :"oh right i'm done with that too, sheesh i woke up early for nothing"...it got to the point where i changed my phone background to a sunny island just to remember. goes to show the level of trauma univ provided XD (i'll admit it had its fun though)

I've been home 2 months but at times I'm not sure because routines were broken whilst I was gone.

University many years ago was a roller-coaster of very good times and bad.

when i review it feels like i'm a retired veteran, but when i'm the reviewee it feels like i'm in in 6th grade.....i guess that's a positive? i mean who wouldn't wanna feel younger again. though i definitely don't wanna go back to 6th grade again XD

The more you write, read and review the better you get at it... a reminder to myself that I need to study Thai e.v.e.r.y day. I'll also need to work on getting younger.

while waiting for April to come so I can refresh my portfolio (aka delete and start new items) i got some good lines ready in my head, question is should i translate them to poems or stories or alternate between both? i already have an idea in my head but thought of seeing some suggestions

Let the idea dictate to you how it wants to be presented. It might be a story, a poem, a vignette, an essay, a blog entry... whatever. Don't push it, let the ideas flow and come out however they want to.

In my opinion.

S 🤦 Author Icon - sounds good, thanks for sharing your thought

what is your favourite quote / dialogue in fiction? I'll start.
mine is the last letter of Ezio Auditore to his wife from assassin's creed franchise, and it goes like this:

"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it. And I had love, but I did not feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three. And now, the twilight of my life, this understanding has passed into contentment.

Love, liberty, and time: once so disposable, are the fuels that drive me forward. And love, most especially, mio caro. For you, our children, our brothers and sisters. And for the vast and wonderful world that gave us life, and keeps us guessing. Endless affection, mia Sofia.

Forever yours,
Ezio Auditore."

In fiction? I have no idea. I have a brain injury from Iraq, so I'm not good at remembering things like that anymore. lol I've been seeing a lot of Princess Bride stuff lately, so maybe this famous scene from The Princess Bride?



I remember a quote from long before Iraq by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, "Be very, very careful what you put in that head, because you will never, ever get it out." It's not fiction, but I stand by it. Well, as a person with a brain injury, I don't think that fully holds true. lol But in general, I do agree it's important to be careful what we put in our heads. *Heart*

Now i understand the value of school....last time i was this bored i started writing letters to the principle pretending to be an anonymous famous writer who is about to visit in a few weeks to hold a contest. although i felt bad for him after stopping the letters without notice: it still was not for nothing, at least the cake the school prepared for the writer's arrival did not go to waste, plus i got to taste lemon x chocolate flavour for first time soo yeah...miss school i admit , but is it for the right reasons? ahem i wonder.

Notice: hello there. by the end of the month i'll be deleting some poems to make space in my portfolio. do not submit them/any review of them in contests that extend beyond this month (so there would be no confusion later on). thank you for your understanding and time. should you want a copy of any deleted item contact me and i'll send one, have a good day.

I actually still use pen and paper to this day for writing, drawing, etc. and of course i got used to all the downsides that come with it except for one: when i have something important to write down its either the pen or the paper is missing. not both, but always one has to be missing in that crucial moment. and once that object messed with my head long enough: it appears out of nowhere.

just finished a poem about silence after constantly being interrupted with phone calls...and my phone barely rings in a month usually...lol maybe i should send it to one of the people who called today? yeah maybe
