Maya Joelle posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago
@cindy Hey, this is Maya Joelle! I’m sure you have no idea who I am and thus are a little confused right now. I just want to say hi and let you know that your poem “The Sound of Redemption” was one of the things that got me excited about KP/SE and poetry writing in general (“Monster” too).
Basically I just want to fangirl over your poetry XD But…[Read more]

Do I need to reintroduce myself when I’ve been absent from the forums for nearly SIX WHOLE MONTHS?! 😮😬 (Except for keeping up with the SE fiction @mariposa writes, of course… 😉) It’s been a CRAAAAZY half a year, but I think I’ll be popping in frequentlyish again, so…*flings pecan leaf confetti everywhere* *hands everyone a squirrel and offer…[Read more]

@volt1911 Ah! I’d gladly give some poetry suggestions. 🙂
Emily Dickenson is a favorite of mine. Also Rudyard Kipling and J.R.R Tolkien and Shel Shiverstein. @cindy is amazing, and so many other people around here. (Have you read any poetry off the blog?) You should come hang out with us in the poetry sections some time.

@cindy @evelyn @sir-leeds @kb-writer @daeus-lamb @libby
Hello! 🙂 I would love criticism/positive comments regarding this poem. This is the fourth draft of this poem, so I’m aware that it’s still a bit green and needs accurate punctuation. The point of my posting this is to see where to take the poem through my next revision.
Here are some…[Read more]

eden anderson started the topic I have a crazy idea… in the forum Poetry Discussions 7 years, 2 months ago
I got a crazy idea.
I don’t know how I got it or where it came from…but it’s here.
And it’s stuck. And is showing no sign of leaving any time soon…
I’ve tried to talk sense to myself, but this idea just keeps on popping right back up, strong and persistant.
I CANNOT get rid of it.
And since I can’t make it leave, I am resolved to do…[Read more]

Emma Huckabee (Emma Starr) started the topic SE Submission in the forum Poetry Discussions 7 years, 2 months ago
When you’re submitting a poem to Story Embers, is it okay to get it critiqued in the poetry forum first? Would it be okay to get some advice on which poem to submit? (Like which one is higher quality…?) Or is better to submit multiple and see what they say?
One of my goals this year is to submit at least 3 poems to Story Embers. I’m going to do…[Read more]

Just watched this video and thought it would be good to share it here.
It’s in a playlist about composing music, but I think this video is applicable to any creative process.
So, how do you guys “get in the way of inspiration”?
