Dreaming :]

offtopic: yep, it's pretty active as forums go

maybe you can post a thread in the "amherst" section saying hi, then everyone can welcome you officially (if you haven't done so already). there's a bunch of stuff you can do around here if you're thinking of staying - have a look in the IRC (link at the top right, blue bar), read some guides and get to know how it all works.

if you like art too there's the "open canvas" board where you can contribute art and comment on others' too. deviantart is a great site, i think most people who post in open canvas are probably on deviant too.


and... just making sure we're back on topic!: yea i really meant what i said about how the best poems come from the heart some people might criticise your poem (no one's perfect this side of heaven!) but it's got something no criticism can improve on, and that's the message you're giving out to everyone

when you're trying to write and don't really have a message, that's when it all falls apart. if you've got a message, even if it's your first poem, then you've got somewhere to start from

heh
sorry, i'm a bit obsessive about writing (not good at it: just obsessive.)
