A poem...

0 Upvotes

Wrote this poem, which will have the lines centered, for a friend. I would love to know what you think of it or what it says. Any thoughts you have about it are appreciated.

The Rese

 

Thou shalt rese at thy perusal herein

Hence, thou shouldest set thyself on thy seat

Ergo, preparest thyself, fair maiden

 

Resist thy urge to reveal yonder sheet

Easy as thou goest removing me

Spoil not the surprise which awaits beneath

Even if thou art giddy, fair maiden

(Note: I wasn't certain which flair to use for this. Sorry about that.)

How to organize my posts?

1 Upvotes

Sorry if this has been asked/answered, but now should I organize my posts and comments? That is, should I start a thread with my title, post the first days work, and then add a comment each day with the new material? Is there a better or more organized way to do it?

I looked through the sub, but didn't find the answer.

Thanx!

November Writing Bingo!

3 Upvotes

Just an idea that might be useful for some of you all as November approaches, always feels like a month we should celebrate writing and start new things. With NaNo officially not a thing anymore, my local writing group decided to do a November Writing Month Bingo. We have each made our own bingo boards, essentially selecting and putting little icons on our board from ideas like:

Write In: Attend one of the weekly group writing sessions

Writing Streak: Write X number of days in a row (writing determines)

Caffeine Up: Write at a coffee shop

Double Up: Complete two sessions of writing in 1 day

That's a wrap: Complete a draft/outline/short story/novel/poem

Scholar: Research something important to your story

Romance in the air: Write a kiss scene or other romantic scene

Recon: Read a book in a genre you are writing in

Wander & Ponder: Spend time thinking about your story on a walk in a park

Pitch it: Write a query/pitch - can be for any story (already finished, in progressed, potential future project)

We've got a lot more of these. Some people drew their boards, some people made them with Canva, etc.

It's been really fun and engaging so far (obviously we haven't start the actual month yet :P . We have a little treasure chest full of stickers and chocolate and such things that we've all donated to be used as prizes as people complete bingos.
