Writing Again
I have found a new muse and words having been coming out. I will share some of them and I would be happy to hear from those of you that are still on this site. If not, I will continue to use this as a storage facility for he inner most thoughts of my deviant mind.
I did a thing.
I entered a slam poetry competition. 24 contestants, 3 placed winners. My first in 15 years. Wish me luck. Also, with this and the upswing of my culinary career, my submissions here will probably be next to nothing in the near future.
Best of luck to you all.
Rewrite Challenge
I am issuing a challenge to all writers.
Rewrite a famous poem or song with your words transforming the meaning to an opposite feeling. There is no end date to this, just tag me and this journal in your comments.
To give a for instance:
"Found" from "Hurt"
...I found myself today
to see if you still care
I focus on your eyes
to show you I am still right here...
