where's everyone?

[butters]

Ron took me to Sainsburys for breakfast afterwards and I was an utter glutton! I deserved it I have deep veins that don't give up their blood easily if at all sometimes, that's why I had to stop giving blood, they could never get enough out!

hope you enjoyed every morsel

speaking of which, i have to go cook. back later

 

[Esperanza_Hidalgo]

not just you, annie - it's sort of akin to cannibalism or gaily suicidal. off kilter, for sure


hehehe
how went it, girl? you've filled the hole left by no brekkie?


but cute!

A cute smartical wannabee poet and future Pulitzer prize winning dork. Do they give Pulitzers for smut? check that, I mean erotica?

*pulls panties from butt*

*burp*

*scuse me*

And Bill Gates, quit asking me out for a date, you dork!

What time are you serving? Am I too late? I had great Turkey Chile last night--and have enough left for lunch today.

Checking in. Around. Been in Italy, been travelling, been irritated by the AH and haven't really had much to say, Nevertheless, I think of you and challenges I might add, but then ... get busy and distracted and forget.

I hope to find more time, myself, after the next week. things are a bit busy this end, traveling into london everyday doing the 2 week job placement. hopefully we can revive things a bit soon - still, there are seasons for everything, writing included it would appear

I'm around but Monday I'm starting NaNoWriMo: 50k words of my novel in a month, so I may be here now and then for some poetic relief. Wish me luck!

break a leg, but not a finger. If it's naughty, dibs on reading it first.

Thank you my dear.

It's not naughty enough for you, no doubt. (Not like the other stuff you got to read first heehee. But we won't tell anyone about that.)

I'm not ruling out hawtness, but it's not the theme. Anyway everyone knows I write crappy pron unless it's metaphorical. Ask Mabeuse. He tried to teach me and gave up, realizing I'm hopelessly who I am.

best of luck. m'dear, and don't wear the fingers down to the bone!

poetic relief, you say? oh kaayyyy

 

[voxincognito56]

By way of introduction, then: Vox (Shall we leave it at that? The guy I am here is so different from the one I advertise in public.) and I think you were nice enough to comment on a rather pretentious poem I posted... Or was it my Halloween story? At any rate, you were nice and fairly objective--both rare commodities--so word out to a new friend.

Where's the spell checker on this thing? Ah... Gotta download the fucker. Is the resulting gouge in my hard drive worth it? Anyone who knows me will assure you I can't spell for shet aniwai.

 

[butters]

welcome

things are a little quiet around here on and off, as different people have different parts of their lives take precedence. so it'll be good to see someone new begin to take an active part on the forum. honesty, good humour, and respect for others' right to hold opinions that may differ from our own are more or less the house rules. intelligence, wit, and imagination are all a bonus

Laura on the Fire Escape, Leaning

into fifty thousand words, looks
tired already, as if the weight
of production pressed her
sideways so that she would tumble out

of some obscure daydream onto those streets
that make all cities ordinary
in the daily grit and churn
of other people's lives.

I want to lift them all, she says,
steal their secrets like that top
at Saks I fancied
but did not have the cash to buy.



Hey. Good luck, Ms. A.

Hey. Good luck, Ms. A.

Thank you, T-zed. I love that photo of Laura although she kinda looks photo-shopped onto that fire escape to me (but I don't think she is). I love the poem and (of course) love you blending my upcoming word journey with her. I do want to steal secrets and characters and settings and um anything that'll work.

I'm currently rereading Soul Picnic, a Nyro bio by Michele Kort. That Laura was one wacky girl, but also tres cool. She had a lot of heart as well as talent. Hence the av and all as I'm little more obsessed about her than usual.

I'm looking at NaNoWriMo as a big experiment in which I hope to produce as much of a first draft as possible. I expect to write a lot of crap but also (I hope) a decent working draft. I still have a couple of big plot twists to figure out (like how to make them plausible), but I have a plot outline divided into chapters and major scenes, including settings and main characters. I'm counting on the old muse to help me fill in the rest. (And I'm counting on ee to cook more dinners than usual next month lol.)

I figured if I told you all about it, it would motivate me to work harder.

So thank you to you and Chip and Champers and all who've wished me luck. That's what I love about this place: you get support and sometimes even poetry!

es to you dear poets.

ETA: PS--I'm writing the last sentence first, an idea I'm stealing from John Irving, so I have something to aim at as I write. We'll see if it helps!

 

[hmmnmm]

I did the NaNo last year. I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations. It was good because I have a terrible tendency to go so far and then start looking back and messing around with what's been writ - before coming to any completion. So nothing ever really gets finished.

But with NaNo the idea is to build that word count. So there's not much time to really go back and make improvements. Lots of times I'd write something down, and "ew, that's horrible" and want to scratch or mess around with it. But no. Just keep going.

The final Thing I ended up with - well it wasn't pretty (and it was also lost in the pc fry), but it had lots of promising sections and spots and ideas that I will suppose would not have popped up if not for the mindset that NaNo encouraged.

So I most certainly and generously bestow a dose of luck upon thee. Now go. Write.
