J, thank you so much for the kind review of Iconic Ocean. I was struggling for some time (being blocked sucks, doesn't it?), but this poem came out quite suddenly. Thanks so much for what you said.

Take care.

Good afternoon!


Have you heard of �mapping�? It is a technique, to develop fictional writing. Mostly used for story/novel writing, but it can also be applied to poetry. It is a great way to develop your creativity and find new sources of inspiration.

Good morning!

We had the pleasure of enjoying some wonderful pieces for the last challenge. Oxymorons can certainly be fun!

Now this week�s challenge is a little different.

As writers, we have to play many different roles to successfully market our works. From sales persons, to marketers, to advertisers we have to manage to develop a series of skills to promote our work and make sure someone gets to read it. I believe as writers, our ultimate goal is to have someone to �listen� to what we have to say.

What would you say if you had to sell a concept that people do not think about too often? Concepts that are embedded deep inside of us, and that as writers we usually ponder many times. How would you make someone �buy� them?

I hope you have fun and enjoy it.

Have a great day!

Good morning!


The last challenge was short, but we all got some good laughs out of it. Hope you got to enjoy reading some of them. ;)

Have you heard of oxymorons? They make for some great word play. Check the new challenge and see for yourself!
