What We Publish

 

A place to publish powerful writing.  At this site we will publish our wonderful words.  We will share phrases, paragraphs, essays, poems, reports, etc with the goal of acknowledging the style within that makes the piece a picture in the reader's mind.  By discovering and recognizing the styles we do well, we can move on to more powerful writing in our new pieces.

What We Read

 

Take your time to browse the bookmarks to find a genre or style of interest to you.  Read a text and comment on the words that wander in your mind and make movies you see and understand.  Let the author know what you liked by writing a comment. That's all: we're about recognition and encouragement.

What We Write

 

After finding a fantastic style, put your pen to your paper and create your own writing using the style of the author you read.  Then publish your piece on your own page someone else to acknowledge. Let the author know you tried their technique with a comment on their page. Take a chance: writing well takes practice, just like a two-point lay-up takes practice for your basketball team.
