Hi guys,
I just finished a mini collection of five poems inspired by The Scarlet Letter. I am submitting it to a young authors contest for my homeschool group, but the contest isn’t that intense or anything (as far as I know, only a few other people have signed up). Still, I would like to get some feedback on it. I mainly want to know if the…[Read more]

That was really good! I enjoyed it a lot, and I say that you have a knack for writing poetry. The fact that it was based on something on LotR helped too. 🙂

Thank you, Kylie! That means a lot! I actually got it published on Kingdom Pen last month: https://kingdompen.org/the-party-tree-a-poem/

Oops, forgot that I had written a poem for my book and posted it on my profile. Sorry!

Hi! I’m glad that you like my poem! This is the first piece of poetry that I’ve written and posted (not including the one for a collaborative story I did) on here. And I’m really glad that my poem made you want to read The Wingfeather Saga even more, as it is my absolute fav book series (as you can probably tell from my username and q…[Read more]

Your poem felt powerful. Also, tragic, important, and well-written. I especially found the repetition of the word silent to be strong and impactful.

Silent
Silent, as the country crumbles.
Silent, to the pain all ‘round.
Silent. For one doesn’t know what to do.
Silent, to the fathers’ cry.
Silent, to the burning of right.
Silent, to the death of liberty.
Silent. For one doesn’t want to fight.
Silent, as hearts are hardened.
Silent, as tongues fly.
Silent, as the souls a…[Read more]

I like your poem. 🙂 I’ve heard of the Wingfeather Saga, but haven’t read the books yet. Your poem makes me want to read them even more!

Beautiful.
Thank you for putting that up. Definitely made my day. Thank you!

A Wingfeather Saga poem about Throne Wardens. Not that great at poetry, but I’m working on it.
The Throne Warden.
Courageous, loyal, true,
Protector of his siblings’ life and freedom,
Learner of the Word,
Keeper of not just pen, but also sword,
Hearer of the sea dragons song,
Warrior against Gnag’s wrong,
Artham with his wings,
Janner…[Read more]

MyClipboardIsMyViolin replied to the topic Shouting into the Void in the forum Publishing and Marketing Nerds 5 years, 5 months ago
Hrm. The first step to stop shouting into the void is to realize that you are not in a void. You need to go out and grab some people. This is why I like Twitter because I can just follow and retweet and respond to the people I want, and then find out from them what social media content to produce to keep them around.
But who should you invite to…[Read more]

@jennythefaun Couldn’t tell the LoTR reference from reading it, and it would be fine anyway. I published a poem that was even more directly inspired by The Handmaid’s Tale a couple years back.
I really like the title, and great concept. My advice is to drop the rhymes. As one of my creative writing professors once said, the best poems don’t r…[Read more]

@taylorclogston I’m taking notes. That’s definitely good stuff for Amazon publishing that I appreciated reading.
Mostly the approach I’ve been taking is to build my social media platform and website before publishing any books, because that’s the approach that I feel comfortable with – I want to publish my books to an audience.
But it is a LOT…[Read more]
