Creative Stimulation
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2016 8:20 pm
Hi All
I don't often make personal comments on the forum ... but I have to say how much I am enjoying the variety of the poetry currently being featured. We've had some really good serious stuff, and some from the other side of the coin ... from tongue-in-cheek to laugh-out-loud!
I am particularly having fun with the off-the-cuff collaborations we've been having on various topics. My contributions might not exactly be the stuff of immortality but nothing stimulates my creative writing skills more than prompts, either in the form of a poem inviting a reply, or as a list such as Maureen gives us in the workshop.
The happy outcome goes far beyond the fun and games we're having here. With the creative stimulation of the last few weeks, I have finally been able to begin writing again in earnest - for the first time since my Mum died back in April.
So thanks, friends - for helping me to find a path back to writing, and to put my foot on the first rung of the "healing process" ladder.
Warm Regards
Shelley
