Hello all!  I am hoping to reignite my love for writing, and I can't think of a better place to do it than the place my writing started taking off, right here at WDC!!  I will be honest, I am really hoping to connect with people to stay inspired, but I sometimes struggle knowing how to reach out and connect. Maybe you might send me some encouragement by saying hello and seeing if it leads anywhere? I don't bite, just a little shy  Anyway, off to try and create something new, I love poetry and also enjoy a good Short Story challenge, though struggle to stay organized writing full length scripts and novels. But it's all for the love of creation, I don't need to be rich and famous, just need a couple friends to share with and grow with and love. |
It feels like almost a year since any inspiration has hit, finally got back to the pad and put my spirit to work! Hoping you are all doing fantastic and enjoying your moments! :
|
Off to Cuba!!!!! Hope you all have a wonderful week filled with the best inspirational reads and writes you can find at every turn!  |
Oo where abouts? I've been twice and I'm going again in November  |

Reply| Hi everyone! I'm hoping that someone might let me know what is the difference between a favorite and a fan? I've been adding favorites lately, and then clicked again and turned many into a fan... then back to a favorite. And then, a fan again. It's been a fun, but I'm fairly confused on what I'm actually doing?! |
| 826 Gift Point Giveaway!! First person to post a new review in comments wins! 2nd Person gets 674! Sidenote... a new review done by you |
| I reviewed "Ears Are To Listen" - you should see something soon. I liked it. Like how ear and hear/heard is very present and important. Now I need to point this out to someone. Think it may make them smile. Thank you for writing and sharing it. |
| I'd like to start a review wave. Want to join? The basic concept I've started with was inspired by a few back and forth reads and reviews from Sharon  which got me thinking. Here's what I've gotten so far, and I'm certainly open to ideas.  Why? - To read more stories, reviews people do, bios, etc - To spread the hopes of larger involvement than this site already flourishes with (which is massively active to start with!) - To add a fun 'wave'-like game to reviewing and getting to know our neighbors on here. Think football game 'waves' or other sporting events.  How - Find a member and review any piece. Attach any number of giftpoints you'd like (completely optional, just added fun to the inspiration which started this. Was generally a very low amount like 244 or so until our last exchange led to this) to the review with a suggestion of a piece from another author you offer for them to review. - I will design scripts to copy/paste with the idea/'rules' of the game, perhaps even review tools I can share if that's what people want. Suggestions are welcomed  Possible things of focus When selecting a piece as the suggested review, take into account what reviews they have already done. None? Perhaps something short to get them started. Poetry? Shorts? Chapters? Try to tailor your suggestion to the person to keep them comfortable, while also challenging them just a little to increase their experience with reviewing... not to mention to increase their library of reads!! Look into bios for favourite authors, genres, or any info that can help make the experience as personal, friendly, and motivating as possible. If this sounds like something you want to jump on board with, like/comment/share this as I don't know if I have too many people who see these posts as it is. Message me for suggestions or details as I still haven't learned how to create a separate page for this. I'd like to have it going soon as possible if I have interest. In the meantime I'll be doing it anyways so plug any ideas for reviews you might suggest for me! |
Hoping you enjoy the new piece if you get the chance to read it. Sometimes I wonder why this ungodly hour of night produces my most unfiltered spirit.

| To them who lost their lives in the honest hopes to free mine, Thank You, your bravery and noble intentions are held dear. To every soldier and innocent civilian who suffered in any way for this belief, Thank You, your struggle will not be in vain when it comes to my hopes to embrace the freedoms and comforts I DO have. To Any Human Who Believes In The Love Of Our Species And The World As A Whole... THANK YOU, without you we may have all perished long ago. I Send My Love To You All, Regardless Of Your Convictions. I've spoken like a charlatan in the past with frustrations in the deceptions written in the reasons for war... but truly, the Men and Women who have put their lives on the line to fight for what they believed, and protect what they loved, are more honorable than I used to give credit for. Far more honorable. So lastly, Thank You Honorable Women and Men, may I never forget the strength you possess. |

That could be you bringing happiness to someone new in our community, all it takes is the highest bid!!  Love and Light To All!! |
I've just edited an item in my portfolio:
Some fun points of Fibonacci Numbers in here. 5 Stanzas 5 Lines Per Stanza Stanzas Have Syllable Counts of 8/8/7/8/3 3rd Line of Stanza is 21 Letters (as 7 syllables would not be Fibonacci) Last Stanza is 1 Line Last Stanza has 8 Syllables Last Stanza has 21 Letters Full Poem has 144 Syllables Full Poem has 21 Lines And the intricate details : 144 Syllables 432 Letters 8 Punctuation Points (including apostrophes) 21 lines 5 Stanzas 144 + 432 + 8 + 21 + 5 =610, also Fibonacci. The description has also been edited to have 54 letters and an exclamation point. So 55 characters. 21 Syllables. Now I'm tired, and I bet you are as well, just by reading this!!  http://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/fibonacci-sequence.html |
| I Love All Of You Crazy Creative And Amazing People!! Thank You For All Of Your Fantastic Posts And Pieces I've Had A Chance to Experience! Also, A Preemptive Happy Mother's Day To All Of The Lovely Mother's Who Have Spent Their Time Being Master's Of Many Trades To Keep Children Like Me Alive, Happy, and In Awe Of Your Abilities!! |
| 14 hours, 49 minutes, and 48 seconds is 2:49:48pm. If you multiply this by 1.618 (The Golden Mean) , you end up with 23.998, or 24 hours. 1 day. Why does this mean anything? I chose that time of today, May 5, 2014, to try and quit smoking cigarettes. I inhaled my last drag right on the second. I figured if I'm going to do this, May as well make it with significant numbers!! May 7, 2014 numerologically adds up to 1, another Fibonacci Number. This is the 3rd Day in my 5 Day Work Week. 2 Fibonacci Numbers with a Golden Ratio between them. May is the 5th month in the year. 5, as mentioned, is a Fibonacci number. I think that's enough for me to be inspired and motivated to stay smoke free. It's not like it wasn't enough to save my life and my money on top of it all! Love To All! |
