@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]

@kendralynne518

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]

Hey! How’s your writing going?

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

@evelyn 😀 Thank you!

@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. Parallelism works best in free-verse, because you aren’t limited in your…[Read more]

@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]

@urwen-starial Thanks for sharing this! It puts into words what I, and I’m sure a lot of other people going through COVID-19-related social distancing, am/are feeling right now too. The emotions expressed here are raw and real, and help me see that I’m not alone.

The meter could be tighter, if you’re looking to improve on it. I loved the imagery!…[Read more]

@urwen-starial OKAY, get over here, it’s hug time! *cri*

I totally feel you. It’s kind of scary to put such sensitive pieces of yourself out there, but it feels so good to finally share it. We’re all here for you. I’ll be praying for you. <3 You know you can always talk to me when you’re having a hard time.

Kedori gives hugs, too.

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer Thanks for tagging me! That post wasn’t boring. 🙂

@urwen-starial I don’t think I have any negative critique either. Great job!! 🙂 *hug*

@dakota

You might want to read this. Being a poet and all 😉

@urwen-starial

*cries inwardly* 😭

I have nothing to say as far as negative critique Urwen! It was really sad, yet somehow very beautiful. I’m sorry that you feel like that.

*virtual (((HUGS)))*

I think it’s wonderful that you decided to post it! It takes a lot of courage and honesty to post something that close to your heart and personal. And…[Read more]
