Rough draft of a poem I just wrote today. Probably the rawest thing I’ve written, which isn’t saying much lol.
by B. Gauterius
I cannot say what I think
And I cannot think of what to say.
When my better judgment restricts
What my heart begs to convey–
I’ll pretend I didn’t hear you.
But I wish that I could tell you
And hear what you would…

I like it! There are a couple lines though that throw off the meter though. But otherwise, it’s great!

Very cool topic! I love your use of subtext to imply the danger in the piece! It’s really interesting!
In my current WIP I keep using the image of a doll both to forward the witchcraft underlying plot and to symbolize manipulation or someone being dehumanized and I also use the word “doll” to…

YOU RANG? *heheheh*
Oooh I love that clip of Chicago! Gave a perfect image of everything interesting, and kept a rather dull plot (some dude waking up in the middle of the night to normal ol’ Chicago gunshots :D) vivid and punchy and promising excitement.
I have several ways I use subtext. In my current WIP I keep using the image of a doll both t…[Read more] -

My latest poem.
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Writing is like dancing.</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>My words flowing on a page.</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Each powerful emotion</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Fitting in it’s place.</p>

I love the idea of things hidden below the surface. Of mysterious buried treasures, and ways to implant certain words or innuendos that have either a dual meaning or are indicative of an even larger mystery lurking beneath the surface action of the story.
I was interested in how each of you uses the concept of subtext in your personal writing,…[Read more]

Hi, @jenwriter17
Thank you so much for the information! I had no idea you could search for stock photos on WordPress–I just tried that on a post draft and it’s huge help! 🙂 I’ll have to check out that website for WordPress themes.

Hi, @ashley-tegart !
I purchased by website theme from creativemarketplace.com. It’s a great place to find awesome-looking, more professional themes and the ones I’ve used were fairly easy to install and customize. And as for post photos, I’ve just been using the option WordPress gives to find free stock photos from Pexel. 🙂 Hope that helps!

Hi, @emma-walker! I don’t know if you’ve started blogging yet, but I also use WordPress (hosted through BlueHost). My advice would be to plan a posting frequency that’s manageable for your schedule and plan out post topics in advance (and draft them in advance if you can). Doing this has helped me avoid the panic of “Oh no! I haven’t posted in a…[Read more]

Hi, all!
So I have a WordPress blog hosted through Bluehost and I would like to improve the way everything looks. I have a couple of questions for anyone else who uses WordPress! 🙂
1. Have you ever paid for a premium theme? I currently use one of the default WordPress themes but I would like something more customizable. If so, how did you…[Read more]
