Poetry Workshop

I'm beginning to suspect that there are not a whole lot of people interested in writing here at mylot. I could be wrong of course, but I'm thinking that for the most part they're here to make friends, have fun, or make extra money. I used to write a lot of poetry myself, but I wrote my best poetry when I was hurting... it was a way for me to transform something painful into something beautiful, so when I stopped putting myself in the kinds of situations that evoked such painful responses my poetry suffered. It also suffered when I realized that I wasn't going to be able to make a living writing poetry. I found an e-zine that publishes flash fiction though, and that is almost like poetry, so I'm going to be giving that a go... if I can get out of this 20 years of writers block! What kinds of things are you doing now? I wonder if you're even still around here at mylot? I forgot to check your profile to see if you were before I responded. Oh well.
