@emma-starr  Thank you!  I’m following yours by the way. 😉

That’s a great idea!  There’s probably other writers out there who want blogging advice too.  *scurries off to start thread*

Hi @emma-starr,

So glad to hear that our feedback has been helpful to you! Can’t wait to see the next draft of this poem. And here’s the poem you asked for. Like I said earlier, Story Embers turned it down mostly because it wasn’t embellished enough, but I really didn’t want this one to be overly embellished. I liked the straightforward language…[Read more]

I saw that no Rillumen members had responded yet so I thought I’d go ahead and tag y’all just in case anyone missed it.

I’ve spent moke time baking so far this week than writing.¯_(ツ)_/¯     I will definitely try to wring a couple of hundred words out of tonight though. Does anyone have a word goal for this week?…[Read more]

@emma-starr I think it’s lovely.   I think you have some great images in there, but you could, as @sir-leeds said, “embellish” it a bit.  For example, try not to use trite expressions.  We know that winter is grey and cold, now let us see it in a new way.  So instead of saying the tea is cold, you could say it has “lost its warmth, lost its sou…[Read more]

@emma-starr I love it!

However, like @sir-leeds said, Story Embers has a very particular style they like and I have my own style and you have yours.  *shrugs*  I’m not sure what to tell you. 😛

Hi @emma-starr,
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Okay, I can kind of see your theme now. Hmm…alright, these are just my thoughts, so take them or leave them, but I think that if your goal is to portray healing over the course of a year, you could experiment with the narrator struggling with an actual physical ailment that either gets better over the…[Read more]

Hi @emma-starr,

There are some good lines here. I especially enjoyed:

“It isn’t so heavy

When it’s quiet.”

And “The limp leaves are still dripping

In the after-silence.”

It seems like this poem is trying to show mood changes through the seasons. Is that right? If so, you seem to be doing well at showing instead of telling and engaging the…[Read more]

@emma-starr Beautiful!! No, “I” isn’t used too much. I think it’s perfect!!

@evelyn

Thanks.

@emma-starr

You should write a lot more haikus.

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer

Ok, this is hilarious!! *ahem* (guffawing in the backround) Oh, um. (chortle) Sorry, there! Kinda deep and far out…(leaving the arena in spasms of laughter!!!) no comment…no, really…not like I’m serious or anything…?

@emma-starr

I shall take into account your very personal opinions. *appearing dignified and…[Read more]

@emma-starr  *blushes* Aww, really? I feel so flattered. 😊  Thank you!

No, unfortunately, I don’t have a blog… yet.   If I ever do start one, would you have any advice for me? 🙂

@emma-starr Wow that is so neat.

I want to live there. 😉

@graceabounds2129, cool prompt! Your calendar shows another prompt immediately three days after, but I thought we were doing this only every other week. I’m in for this first one.

Who else is…[Read more]

@emma-starr

Alright!

With words like that and others, does it enhance and further the aesthetic feel of the poem? How about with the flow?
