[stylist] Weekly Writing Challenge

Mon Jun 8 03:04:33 UTC 2015

SEM,

SORRY, DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING NEGATIVE BY IT, GRIN. YES, STYLIST IS DEFINITELY
HERE FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES. THIS COMMENT IS FOR EVERYONE, BUT NO ONE SHOULD
FEEL BAD OR THINK THEY CAN NOT PARTICIPATE ON THE LIST IF THEY DO NOT POST
THEIR WORK OR PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO THOSE WHO DO. STYLIST EXIST FOR MANY
REASONS, WHICH WE CAN PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT WE PARTICIPATE WITH AND DO NOT.
SO MANY HERE BRING A MYRIAD OF THINGS TO THE TABLE, AND WE CAN LEARN FROM
MUCH OF IT. STYLIST DID USE TO HAVE MORE SPECIFIC WRITING-BASED DISCUSSIONS,
AND WE SHARED WORK AND FEEDBACK MORE, WE HAD MORE CONSISTENT WRITING
EXERCISES, WE EVEN HAD PEOPLE "TEACH" ON A SUBJECT OR NOVEL, POSTING
INFORMATION AND SOURCES THAT WERE OF INTEREST TO WRITERS. FOR INSTANCE, I
POSTED A FEW YEARS AGO A POST ABOUT CREATIVE NONFICTION THAT LED TO A
IN-DEPTH DISCUSSION. WE DO NOT DO THIS STUFF AS MUCH ANYMORE, BUT THIS
DOESN'T MEAN STYLIST DOES NOT SERVE A PURPOSE OR HAVE OTHER REASONS TO
EXIST. IN A NUTSHELL, THAT WAS MY POINT, SMILE. I ENJOY WHAT YOU, SEM, POST,
ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS, SO HERE'S TO A DIVERSE LIST.

HI, Bridgit and list.
First of all, I'm sorry about your ankle and hope it gets better soon. 
That's never any fun. I sprained mine once and was doing medical massage at
the time. IT was Valentines week and I had couples massages lined up. That's
where one waits with a magazine while you massage the other then they switch
off. I was so tired nd had to work on the ankle. GRRR. You never realize how
movement is hampered with something like that until it is I think. Anyway,
hopefully you're able to stay off yours more than I was as yours is
definitely worse.
As for poetry, critiquing and this list, I wasn't indicating that this list
did or could or should not do that. I was saying that there are also lots of
other things the list is for and that I tend to utilize those other things. 
I have chatted and shared writing/publishing info, including the ralan.com
site where reputable publishers, writing contests, ETC are listed from
anything from short stories to books that people are seeking. I just meant
that the comment initially made it sound as if this is just a critique list
and I was saying, it was news to me as I tend to utilize the other
categories...And I never submit anything for critique so don't feel bad not
giving any either. If I have time to read something and it speaks to me I
comment. If I have no interest for the material and lack time to read it, I
don't, but again I don't submit either. Probably should've clarified. *hugs*
Sem I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my head.
