Kittens are absolutely wonderful and wondrous, aren't they? I love how this poem depicts a kitten curious about the world. And the picture is a purrfect fit. Well done.
I think that this is a great idea, even if you don't or didn't enter the contest. As writers we should be doing all we can to encourage ourselves, to inspire, and uplift our own spirits. Who better to understand US than ourselves?
Thank you Story Mistress for this idea, and making it a contest to boot. Some people feel the need to have that extra oomph to get things done. It's that challenging, that competitive spirit in them. They have to have it.
I am not such a person. I could list a few reason but as the saying goes one person's reason is another person's excuse. So I linger in the shadows, lurking, watching to see what comes up. I am after all curious and love to see what's produced.
I have read the description of many contests and challenges. A lot of them have been thought provoking. This one is inspiring. I was reminded of this letter I once wrote to myself from the perspective of a primary character. I run across it now and then and read through it. To this day I hear Lynn's voice, not mine, in those words of encouragement.
IMO - people should give this a try whether they shoot for a contest or not.
Thanks Mistress,
for the site, the words, and all you do.
Your poem invoked a lot of memories for me. I was the 3rd of 3 kids adopted by my Grandparents. This poem reflects how I felt growing up. I felt like I was one child too many, the extra mouth. And my sister was the important one, the wanted one. To see your words makes me feel that I wasn't alone. I wasn't the only one who felt this way.
Thank you for sharing this. keep writing, keep sharing.
I look forward to reading more from you.
Thank you for sharing this. The content is informative, helpful, and concise. As some one who is about to write her first query letter, I'm grateful for this being here.
This is a heartwarming story. It does need some more details. What breed of parrot is Hannah? What kind is Toeksie? Some anecdotes of their interactions would help. What was their best day together and or their worst?
The only "oops" I saw was the date you returned hannah "11/01/2014". Did you mean 2013?
