Hello! I am sorry to have pretty much disappeared from the WDC Community, but I have wonderful news to report. I HAVE WON MY FIRST NANOWRIMO! I haven't yet decided If my novel is one to post in my port, it still needs a lot of work and the first draft isn't quite done yet. Pray, all you dears out there, that where-ever this novel is going, I don't let it drop. I hope to have the first draft finished by mid January at the latest. Peace to all the people who encouraged me! God bless! |
Sorry! (though at the moment I dont know who Im apologzing to) I know I missed my weeken naming-an-author thing. In my defense, its been school, babysitting, chores, square dances, ccd, youth mass and a bunch of other random things. Not the least of which is NaNoWriMo prep. Oh, and guess what? Some one here SMELLS like WET DOG and is covered a paste of FURRY-TOMATO! Who could that be? Thats right, ME! My dog got SKUNKED last night, and Ive spent the last hour and a half trying desperately to remedy that. He still reeks, and tonight, hes sleeping OUTSIDE! On a lighter note, its ironic that a dog named Pepper was covered in Tomatoes..... |
Monday night. Well! Its not the weekend, but my wifi access had been really limited the past few days. I'm late, but I'm here! This weekend (close enough) I wanna share John Doe 's work, especcially his poem "Invalid Item" . Its very sweet and romantic, using old-fasioned Shakespearean English and a lovely metaphor comparing the speaker's rejected love to a tree of Autum, and just in time for comming fall. If you've read this, let me know what youve found on WDC. |
I've just edited an item in my portfolio:
I didn't particularly like the beginning of this piece, because it sounded so... well, it sucked. "In seasonal accord"...? "the oddity of Nature's Dress"? Yeah. those phrases were reaching at best. I have no problem with the word 'accord', but originally there was a rhyme that matched it on the third line. It just didn't fit anymore, and I feel happier with the beginning as it is now. |
Okay. I'm gonna start a new weekend tradition. I know no one reads my notebook, but I think this could be fun just for myself. Every weekend, Im gonna tag an author or two, and post a work of theirs worth reading. Here we go! One interesting poem I came across earlier was by Dan Sturn , its the first Item I ever reviewed. Its called "Invalid Item" If someone reads this and has another writer they'd recomend, let me know. Who does everyone like to read? |
Helena The picture on the left of your notebook intrigued me. It is taken from the tomb where Jesus was laid, I believe. I had the privilege of visiting the sight a few years ago and it was very special to me. Maybe it is a similar picture. I hope that you are enjoying WDC and the interactions of the sight. If you need any help or have questions I will try to help you. I will have a peek at your writing if I may. thank you Alexi Mason |
And you are always welcome to peek at my work, Im honored that you'd like to!
Peace!
