Just chooose your favorites in the forum

More detail is in the forum and clean.
A notice will also be in our newsletter

Is important to get the message out

I have always liked to write.It is important to me that writing comes from my heart and soul. When writing poetry, if I do not feel a spiritual connection to what I am writing on, I will discard it and go on to something I can connect with on a spiritual level. I live in the moment, I write from the past or beyond the veil. When writing fiction I go with whatever inspires me at the moment - it could be funny, sorrowful, romantic or sometimes done with the use of colloquial language from mountain folk or other cultural regions.
I began writing content online in 2007, starting with BellaOnline - A Voice For Women, where I was the Native American Editor, Folklore & Mythology Editor, and the Appalachian Editor. I also wrote articles forThe Examiner, Daily Two Cents, and Yahoo. I am currently an author on HubPages.
Most of what I write takes a lot of research and I love it. Even if it is a fictional story, I will research for accuracy in whatever it takes to make my characters, their era, their location, etc. become realistic to the reader.
I hope you enjoy my works. Thank you for visiting.

Good luck and best wishes to all members.
Does this sound like a big chore, to look up all the posts? The easiest way to do this is go to the main page and look in the right column under Categories. Click on Fiction and all the fiction posts will come up so you can browse. At the end is a button for ‘previous’, click on that to see older posts. Do the same for poems, by clicking on Poetry under Categories on the main page.

a great idea dear Phyllis which you have presented in a well written and witty poem..i will look out for the newsletter..thank you for sharing the information here..have a lovely day!
Oh, I am so glad you like the idea, Anjana. There are already two votes in. Thank you for reading and commenting.
Good idea, Phyllis. It will be a difficult job to choose favorites from all the great writing posted here though. Good luck to everyone. It should encourage people to browse through some of the older posts and read them though.
Thanks, John. “It should encourage people to browse through some of the older posts and read them though.” and that is what I am hoping for. I wish I had some mugs for the winners. And, I do hope our members vote. If it goes crazy and everyone votes, how fun would that be? LOL
