Break Down The Writing Wall!

~Lady-Shade:iconLady-Shade: reports, November 20
Has writing lost its luster? That shiny quality that you saw when you first started out? Maybe it has. Maybe it hasn't. But we all run into problems and sooner or later we all hit that proverbial wall. We all hit it at some point but what sets some a part from others is the fact that they charge, give a mighty battle roar, and blast that wall down while still having fun with their writing. Why can't this be you?

:iconbloodydesire:
I really think that it was about time to put the spotlights on poetry, in it's every form! I don't think that I'm such a bad poet that pratically no one reads my poems. But it's sad that I don't even get constructive critics <.< I get more comments on photos and manipulations :(
That's why I'm already watching you guys.
I don't have time now, but when I do I'll read some of those poems. We all should give poets our love.

Much love and admiration, Mimi.
