Ink Spots was created 9 months ago; I joined 8 months ago. Today was our best meeting in terms of attendance and participation. I’m very proud of us. I’m usually not a fan of amateur poetry but each time Lanay shares, I find myself very moved and touched. Roz shared a pretty unconventional and creative cover letter. Katambra left me hanging with a story about a girl hiding from a possibly dangerous exboyfriend? Katambra drove me back home today and we were both impressed and agreed that tonight was the best meeting yet. We left inspired, proud, and motivated. Hopefully this carries through. I’m not much of a fiction writer but my new goal is to just write and not worry if it’s utter crap. I wrote my third fictional piece ever (2nd unfinished piece) about a girl battling the Valentine blues, making the best of her day without any available girlfriends or boyfriend when she runs into an exboyfriend. My first and only completed piece was about a guy with a rotting penis. ONE time I write a somewhat R rated NON-exotic story and every time I read from then on, they ask me to give them the rating even though it’s been PG ever since.
I snagged a few photos from Brenda’s facebook from tonight.
