@the-inkspiller Okay, wow, let me just say that your information is incredibly helpful and insightful. Thank you so much! I know, it’s kind of disappointing that I can’t include the Earps or Doc Holliday in the story… they’re such fascinating people! But then, I don’t know what I’d do with them anyway. 😛

I’ve gotten quite a bit of writing…[Read more]

Full disclosure, I just joined the group so that I could respond and lend my help, even though I haven’t particularly wrote much in the Old West setting (though I often look to it for inspiration, particularly when I’m in a more sci-fi mood), but I do have an amateurish breadth of historical knowledge in the area. The idea of…[Read more]

Hi Corine!

I love your view of romance! That’s incredibly beautiful.

I love reading romance, mostly Historical romance. Historical romance is beautiful to me because it captures the beauty of something we’re losing today: Chivalry.  I think chivalry is very important and there’s so little of it left in our culture today. People dont…[Read more]

Hey! How’s your writing going?

I’m doing NaNoWriMo Camp too. Would you want to be my buddy? 🙂

@eitan Thanks!

*nods* Yeah, I see… Hm. I’ll think about how I can work something like that in!

(In a side note, I always love reading Proverbs… 🙂 )

Very nice poem! I like it.

I do not write poems that much, but I’m studying now Biblical literature (which’s always free-verse), and it’s main uniqueness is in it’s use of parallelism between lines – it allows you to hide meanings in the lines without directly say them.

@anne_the_noob14 Aawww :’)

Sounds like me and me sis.

Very cute. <3

@emma-starr Thanks! I had a ridiculously fun time writing it XD

*nods thoughtfully* Aah, I see! Yeah, that’s all helpful! I’ll see if I can work some poetic wording and sounds in 😀 Thank you!!

@anne_the_noob14 Such a fun poem!! I liked the banter. ;P

For tips….free verse is, well, free. I used to think that meant that you wouldn’t use any poetry techniques in free verse, but now I realize that free verse really opens up my writing to use the full variety of tools.

I use free verse as an opportunity to ruthlessly cut out any…[Read more]

@urwen-starial Thank you so much for being strong enough to be vulnerable and share this. I think all poets have a poem that in some way reflects the theme of this one. It’s raw, and you understand exactly what is going on in your mind. I really respect that. 🙂 It’s also great poetry, so I think this is a powerful poem–not necessarily…[Read more]
