I have no real direction for today's post. It isn't like me, I know. Things beyond my control have me busy so, you get randomness.

I wrote a poem, trying to keep it Twitter-size. I don't know if it works but judge for yourselves.
I plunge burning spears into
Hovering kites
Watch them flutter and
Gutter to concrete
Leaving a lonely sky
*I should redo the lines. I didn't double-space but they may come out that way.

What is your "go-to" writing magazine if you have one? I subscribe to two but am thinking about a third. It just seems like a lot of money when there isn't much to go around.

http://poeticbloomings.blogspot.com is an excellent place for poets to gain inspiration and encouragement. Check your ego at the door; they try to make it a positive experience for everyone.

What is the shortest story you've ever written? There is an E-zine out there that takes stories of 430 characters (I think) or less. I haven't ever tried to do one that small. Maybe I will.

Well, that should about do it for my fragmented mess. I hope to be more together Friday...
I like the poem, I'm a big fan of Twitter poetry, it fun to see those little jewels pop up in my feed. I don't think i've ever written a short story-I have a hard time being brief. lol.
ReplyDeleteI think it works and seems the right size. Are you on Twitter? Follow me so I can follow you:

I'm like Alyson. I have a hard time being brief. The shortest I've written is 1,500 words for a 1,500 word or less competition. Gotta use every last one :)
ReplyDeleteDonna, I'm not on Twitter. I can't bring myself to do the whole "social site as author" thing. My blog is the closest I shall get.
ReplyDeleteI love words so it is hard for me to cut down on usage, too.
