Hello everyone!
Forgive me, but today I have more of a request for you guys than a new post. If you’ve been reading for a while, you would know I’ve been sharing a lot of poems on here recently, as I love to write and I write poetry more often than any other form of writing. However, I’m looking to expand my horizons and challenge myself to write in different genres and different forms; of course I’ll still be posting mainly poetry on here, but I want to try some fiction and creative nonfiction as well.
That’s where you guys come in! I would appreciate it if any of you that have been reading my writing (and hopefully enjoying it) would leave me comments with some writing challenges. One blog similar to mine that I read had people give her challenges to write a poem or story including certain words in it, but I’m open to more than that. It can be as vague or specific as you want, as long as it’s appropriate and reasonable (an example of something unreasonable would be challenging me to write a novel or 20,000 words about a specific topic, for reference).
I think this would also be a great opportunity for me to interact with any fellow writers on here. I don’t have a lot of friends who write, and this is a cool way to share my writing with others, so I would love to get some responses from you guys on how you feel about my work. Additionally, I include this with most of my poems that I post, but I would love to hear some feedback or critiques on my writing if you have any. All of the poems I post on here haven’t been read or edited by anyone else besides me and whoever my blog readers are, so I would appreciate to hear your thoughts. I have gotten work critiqued online before, but not the poems I post here, so it could be an interesting new source of constructive criticism.
Thank you so much for being so supportive and sticking around to read my poems on this blog. I know I’m not the most experienced or polished blogger, but I love to write and I hope that shines through in my poetry, if nothing else.
