As we grow, we normally look back to what we previously thought/wrote/said/created/etc, and wonder how we ever did such a thing in the first place. As I looked at this blog after several months, I realized how little it really mattered. I also noticed that I had 12 posts 3 years in a row. I had wanted to create a semi-popular blog, at least among my friends, but I could never fully appreciate what I was writing. Basically it was crap. Maybe not crap to me then, but certainly crap to me now. So I erased it all and am now starting over. This blog is going to mostly reflect my poetic achievements. This will be a blog on creative writing from now on. Whatever poems I manage to create will end up here, unless there is some specific reason I wish to keep them secret. You can post these poems elsewhere as long as you give credit to me by providing the blog link after the poem/post. Most of my writing is already published in Yahoo! Voices, it is copyrighted.
This will also be a place where I share things that other people create. I will always give you credit for your work. Now what is the point of submitting something? Well, for one thing, there will be an online copy of your work. I want this place to be a growing database for creative writing, a site one can visit to gain inspiration. If you want to submit something, just send me an email at arthurs_mail@juno.com. What appears on this blog will be shared among others, so if you want to get your work copyrighted, do so with another organization/website before posting. Just make sure the rights are non-exclusive, meaning you can freely publish the content elsewhere. If your work comes from another website, a link will be provided with the blog post.
Since this is a blog dedicated to creativity, other kinds of submissions are also welcomed. If you want to post a picture you created (i.e. from deviantART) or music (i.e. from SoundCloud), that is also fine. Youtube videos are also fine if you created them. Both pictures and music can spark poetic inspiration, so they are welcome. However, it should be work you have actually created. After posting it, you can talk about it in the comments section.
