If your name is missing, a few things may have happened. 1) You just watched me, and I don't really know much about you yet. Never fear, this is easy to fix. 2) I looked in your gallery and saw no poetry :confused: 3)I missed your message 4) you didn't actually tell me you wanted to collab.


Also, I'm going to try to put out a news article this weekend including the participants to my prompts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello, everyone. I see a lot of new, er, faces out there. I just want to thank all of you for your kind support, and also assure you I'll be getting to your comments soon. I have a bundle of them to sift through, so don't fret if you don't hear a response from me today.

Also, I'd like to open up the floor and let you ask me questions, and at the same time get you to tell me a little more about yourselves.

Yes, I am still working on critiques, but things have slowed because of my school situation. It does take me a while to write them, but know that they won't be half-assed.

Also also, I'm going to start doing poetry collabs, and I'll be messaging those of you who expressed intrest in doing so when my time allows.



The Prompt:
"Sometimes I think childhood memories are fabricated like pearls around a grain of sand."
Make of that what you will. Send me a link.

Also, I want to get to know all of you. Tell me 10 random facts about yourself.


Oh, and pretty things to inspire you:

Comments


Hey Bek, you must be busy with school and stuff, havent heard much from you as of late.

I doubt that is really your Yahoo and Skype; if so that's some far out handles that are somewhat prudent to DeviantART
I'm sorry. I'm really trying to be here.

And what? Do you want my AIM or something?
