Re: Welcome!

I write a ton of poetry. Most of it is narrative, and much is speculative, but I do all kinds. I write a lot of free verse but I'm also really into forms.

Writing poems doesn't have to be difficult. I have some easy how-to pieces on poetry:
You Can Write a Nature Poem
You Can Write a Science Fiction Poem

>> [community profile] cottoncandy_bingo looks fun, but they've got so many prompts it was kind of overwhelming when I went to look them over. <<

You still only get 24 of them at a time, plus the wild card in the center space. All the prompts are pretty light in this fest; it's not like, say, [community profile] hc_bingo where most people really need to look at the prompts to make sure none of their squicks hit the card.

>> But I think I'm going to sign up. I've been writing a lot of dark stuff lately so this would be a nice change for me, and they seem really laid-back and low-pressure, which I like. <<

Go for it! I found this fest to be very relaxing, and my audience loved the fills. I often write edgy stuff, so this is a nice break from that.
