WAKE UP FANTASY LAND!

Hello Fantasy Folk!
Is Anyone Awake Out There!!!


I have a couple of new ideas for keeping the Blog fresh! I just hate checking in and finding my own picture still sitting there!

1. I know how hard it is to get writing to the point where you want to post it. My first suggestion is that we get rid of the idea that something has to be polished to be posted. In the title box, just put the words: Work in Progress. I would love to read works in progress and promise feed back on everything. I know I won't be the only one to offer feedback. This is a completely safe place, it will always be kind and constructive. There are people here who read fantasy, who love fantasy, who want to help. It's the offer of a life time folks!

2. I am going to start posting some of my paintings that have Fantasy themes. I offer any/all of them as spring boards for writing. Will the rest of you start looking for Fantasy Art as well? There is a lot out there on the web. Look for settings. Characters. Themes. If you find a setting or a character that sparks your imagination - even if it isn't something you want to write about youself, please post it.

3. Who would be up for working on a theme together? If we suggested - for instance - the Arthurian Cannon, or Fairy Tales, or Folk Songs, or Unicorns, or Dragons, or . . . yeah! Who would be up for posting SOMETHING on the theme? A Work in progress, a poem, a painting or picture, a story from childhood, photographs that have meaning to the theme, collage, recipes, hair clippings . . . OK. I got carried away.

What do you think?

P.S. The spell check on this thing just gave me "Earthworms" as a correction for "Arthurian." Anybody want to write about THAT?!

Be warned everyone! If you don't take heed of our Winnie and actually start sharing some ideas here you will be subjected to something worse than slow drip water torture. I will begin writing and that will really make everyone go to sleep for one hundred years. :-)
