Comments

"Writing is like crime. The page is about what you can get away with. We break and enter, transgress, autopsy the living and dead, rob, exchange identities, lie, confess, steal. The arts of writing and successful crime are the same. Opportunity. Robbery. Seizure. Con. Misdirection. Theft. Fiction is a form of fraud, the most elegant, exquisite and complicated forms of creative fraud."
-Kate Braverman

As bloggers ays. our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure...

CODA: What is it about blogging that causes so many of the people who do it to believe they've been anointed to an online College of Cardinals, with their own personal stone tablet engraved with The 10 - or possibly 20 - Commandments of Blogging?

LULU, I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE DONE THIS COMPETITION....DO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

For the next competition please start a poetry CATEGORY. POETRY IS ON FIRE, AND IT IS ONLY GETTING HOTTER. YOU WON'T BE SORRY IF YOU START A POETRY BOOK CATEGORY. THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF POETS OUT THERE TRYING TO GET THEIR CD'S, DVD'S AND BOOKS PUBLISH. THIS WOULD BE EVEN MORE REVOLUTIONARY, CONSIDERING THAT YOU WOULD BRING MORE ATTENTION TO POETRY. THANK YOU LULU...I LOVE YOU SITE!
