  1. internet lists...crack or not

    Is it just me, or does anybody else notice they have an addiction to internet lists? not all lists, of course. When there are hundreds of them out there, a proper addict reserves the right to be choosy, but nine times out of ten, when we are bored and surfing (or stumbling) on the internet, a list can be the right pick-me-up. So just what's in a list that makes it so addictive? I'm guessing for the majority of us, we all have a pretty decent amount of confusion about ourselves, the world,...
  2. monotany...

    So many poems but the same old style, and reviews with the smiles of crocodiles; where average is lauded in hopes that they audit and return, in kind, your praise. A few gems, there are from the rawest of poets; the new ones who don't have their vision contorted. And amongst the old there are the bold and the gifted, I respect much. But for all that I see- a spamming spree- of boring rhymes of complexity; attempting to be more than they should be- a bore lacking...

  4. God?...Booooring!!!

    Jesus Frickin Crist...I get one of these questions at least once every two weeks. It's like I have "Love to argue about stupid things" written on my face somewhere. Argument always begins as "Do you believe in God" and then degenerates to me defending myself against the half-poetic guano-fountain that sounds like years of poorly funded brainwashing. The argument always ends with grudgingly agree to disagree. I always dream that if I had the hackers touch, I would go into their bank...

  7. Beware of Poachers

    I have a dragons mentality. The dragons of antiquity, I mean; Tolkien, St. George, yada yada...I have a treasure and this treasure I guard day and night. I don't like visitors, especially unwelcome ones, and I tend to sit on my treasure and enjoy simply having it rather than actually putting it to any practical use. What's my treasure...ideas. New ideas. One of the things that will make your story more interesting than most is that you have new ideas; a new look or perspective on...

  9. So You Are A Writer?

    So you are a Writer. I've been telling myself that for the past...I don't know...as long as I've been talking, probably. But if I were actually talking to myself, myself would turn and say. "Really! What did you write?" To which I would have replied, "...Stuff...." I can make the argument that "I write, therefore I am a Writer," but there is something missing there. Dissatisfaction...incompleteness. Something has not been fulfilled. Today I realized what that is. Everybody writes....
  10. Reviewing at WF

    How does one review an item that has been reviewed at least five times already? Either you really do have new insight or you have to repeat what others have already said? But I am being narrow-minded, I guess. I can also find a post that doesn't have any reviews. Is that why they did it? Getting feedback is gold, and I guess this is the moderators way of spreading the wealth. And so this concludes today's episode of the painfully obvious but somewhat annoying.
  11. Sub Sole Nihil Novi Est

    It is very hard to come up with a genuinely new idea. I've tried. I wrote them down. Then I read or watched TV...sorry. Not only were they proven not new- sometimes quite old, but they were used to far better effect than I would have. I guess the only thing to do is bring a new perspective or insight on an old topic. No one writes new things anyway, right? Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Robert Jordan's 'The Wheel of Time'... All these works are very popular, but the general plot is...
