To sleep per chance to dream...

I've been writing poetry since I was about thirteen, and to be honest I'm not really sure where my inspiration comes from. A lot of the times when I get inspired for a poem it's very musical inside my head, the rhythm involved and the rhyming. I'm not sure how everyone else gets inspired, especially because there aren't very many people out there that write rhyming poetry anymore. Feel free to discuss on here any aspects involved in your writing process, how you can see the musical side of my inspiration come through in my writings citing specific works, or really anything as long as it involves literature.

Here are some poems and a short story from six years ago when I was sixteen to mere weeks (or maybe months) ago. This is most of my collective works of poetry. (Some I have stashed on other sites and others I have sadly lost forever...) All the links take you to where they have been posted in my journal, so you don't even have to leave Gaia! Just let me know what you think, please?

I'm not spamming the writing arena, I'm just using the writing arena as an easy on-site place for storing my writing? This thread is intended for discussion of my works... is it still the wrong forum?

Yes, the writing arena forum is for the discussion of pieces in the writing arena.

So what you're telling me is if I change the link location, discussion of my work here would be okay...? Isn't that kind of a gray area? Two forums for writing discussion with the only difference being site location? Isn't the important part of these forums the interaction and sharing of ideas, not where the links take you? Oh well. I'm not going to argue it just to have some pissy moderator eventually step in. I'll just go through the tedious process of copying all the works into my journal and changing the links, that way people still don't have to go off-site. That was the only reason I utilized the arena links anyway.

It's that they are linked to the writing arena, you are showing works that are in the writing arena. Therefore one would assume that the thread belongs in the writing arena discussion forum.

Don't speak to me as if I'm a child, I understand the reasons for the different forums. I was merely pointing out someone using their time and energy to, instead of discussing the written works involved, whine about what forum it should be in is ridiculous. If I was blatantly spamming my work for votes that would be an understandable use of your time, but going out of your way to tell a writer in the writer's forum that his discussion thread doesn't belong there because of where his links take you just seems tedious and petty.

Anyways now it's a moot point because I fixed all the links.

First of all, you can read these quotes straight from site admins/mods in this thread:

Quote:
"Writers Forum Rules and Guidelines

Welcome to the Writers forum! The Writers forum is intended for discussion of all things writing-related including writing tips, processes, and other aspects involved in writing.

As a member, it is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the forum's rules before posting. Posting in this forum implies that you read and understand the rules and guidelines and that you accept responsibility for the appropriateness of your thread or post."


Quote:
"We've noticed a disturbing trend in the Writers Forum with regard to misplaced threads. Recently, you may have seen some posts like this:

* "Wrong forum. This belongs in the [insert forum here]."
* "Wrong forum. Read the [insert curse word here] stickies."

Or even as simple (and rude) as:
* "Get out of my forum."


With the number of forums on Gaia Online and the number of common repeats in the WF, it's understandable to make a mistake and post a thread in the wrong forum. We just want to remind everyone that it is not appropriate to post in a misplaced thread to tell the creator that it's misplaced. Such posts are off-topic for both the thread and the forum and are therefore considered spam. In addition, they serve absolutely no purpose once the thread is moved to the correct forum. It's also hard to feel welcome as a newbie when your first post gets you a swarm of "wrong forum" responses with no discussion content.

If you happen to notice a thread is in the wrong place, the only thing you need to do is report the thread. Feel free to contribute to the conversation and keep the thread on topic until a moderator can move it to the correct location. The mod will inform the user regarding the correct place to post in the forum."


With all that in mind, here is my second of all: Get your spamming a** off my thread, report me if you like, and if a mod feels this is misplaced they can move it and I'll leave your posts their to show everyone what a hateful spammer you really are. In lieu of the first quote this thread is more than welcome to be about all aspects of my writing; i.e. the processes I use to write said poetry and the overall evolution of my style and perspective throughout my life as well as the written works themselves. If the moderators want to split hairs so be it, but nobody gave you the right.

+takes three breaths+ Okay... NOW all the links are fixed, and hopefully this fresh-out-of-the-oven thread can move on to something actually involving literature. After all... why the hell would you be in the Writer's forum if you're not going to talk about anything involving writers/writing...?
