[stylist] Weekly Writing Challenge

[William L Houts]

Hi Roena,

Glad to meet you!  And if poetry is not your thing, you are absolutely 
not required to critique my poems.  I guess they're difficult for some, 
and while I enjoy commentary, I don't mean to oblige anyone to comment 
on or even read them.  Have a festival Sunday today!

I'm am guilty for not providing feedback on many of your submissions. My excuses are irrelevant. I should at least make some sort of comment to ensure the person submitting their work that someone took the time to read it, regardless whether I have constructive feedback or not.

Do not go back and edit your work! This is very important. If you want to share what you have written, please do so. It’s so much fun to see what people come up with.
