This damn forum

In the not so distant past, I was happy talking with myself, and when I needed agreement talking with my dog.

Then one day my dog surprised me in planting the idea that I should try bending other's ears, if indeed my opines were of any significance. Thus I feverishly set to pen (well, Mac actually), and in time discovered my ramblings were boring at best, verging on incoherent.

Painfully recognizing that I needed help in learning how to communicate in an interesting manner, I found this community. Yes, it's helped me considerably, most notably in ways I wasn't aware of initially.

But, and that's a big but, it has also taken over my once simple and ordered life. I'm now floundering with a cascade of additional writing activities, all the while being distracted by other interesting individuals here. Just thinking about it brings on another nap. When I die, the wife said she'll tell them to hide my pen where the sun doesn't shine.

See, that’s why I write poetry - it’s quick and you can use all those daydreams as writing material.


In fact, sitting around daydreaming accounts for the major part of my writing research.

Don't mention poems Jen. The couple I've put up lately were just one-offs, but a longer one I've been working on for weeks keeps nagging for attention out of proportion to the prose projects.

I think we're lucky to have lured you in, Lee. I"d start hiding my pens, if I were you.

Are you saying we should blame it on the dog?

Anyway, this is a special place, isn't it? And you're a big part of it, Lee. Don't go anywhere.

I do not write much these days and my poetry seems to have flown out of the window, but I love this forum for what I read on it - and even if I just post on Word Games or post silly pictures, the forum gives me a lot of pleasure.

I really hope that my poetry will come back to me but in the meantime WF is, for me, the best thing since sliced bread.

The saying...let sleeping dogs lie...comes to mind but dude the dog done good..

Could be worse. Try a C++ forum.

Don't blame me!
