Dude, we need some writing again, grin. Thanks to the poets who have
been gracing us with their poems, but we need more participation.
Perhaps a writing exercise will include more of us and hopefully prompt
some sharing and discussion again.

So... Let's see, hmmm... I've been reading a lot of fantasy lately, so
how about we all try our hand at some form of fantasy or at least
magical realism. It can be scary, suspenseful, set in our world or in
another, can be Tolkien-like or the polar opposite of Tolkien. Post your
poems, fiction and even nonfiction .

Magical realism, BTW, doesn't necessarily have to have fantastical
characters or plots. Magical realism is essentially a heightened sense
of reality. So if fantasy or supernatural stories aren't your cup of
tea, let magical realism be your guide.
