After seeing so many internet writers grow and succeed, I decided 'eh what the hell. After about a year of quietly stalking Poncho and his crew (and becoming more and more impressed), I started dipping my feet into LPP sometime near the beginning of Spring. Now, Summer's running thin, and while I wouldn't say I'm working at the same level as these cats, I sure as hell wanna write. I wanna write, and I want people to read my shit, and whatever happens from there happens.
So here starts a set of blogs. Wolf Notes (which you are reading) will be updated the most, focusing on poetry. Over the next couple weeks I plan on making another blog, detailing past and current WTF's I've come across while at work. Don't expect any beautiful or difficult prose. DO expect some fucking crazy and disgusting stories. I'll link when it gets kicking.
I got 3 goals here:
1-Quit being a bitch and put myself in the open. Take punches, trade shots, lose, win. None of that, some of that, maybe all of that. But if I really wanna consider myself a writer, than I'm gonna expose myself, regardless of the outcome.
2-Improve my writing. Take in advice, respond to criticism. Shit like that. Also, I plan on taking a number of my poems off LPP and revising and rewriting them on Wolf notes. Some will be mildy edited. Others, completely taken apart, burnt to ashes and built upon.
3- Write. Write more. Take writing seriously. Have fun writing. Write Write Write. Write and love writing. College really took that away from me. I'm taking it back.
Yup. So that's about it. Umm, here's a poem to sign off then.
10,000 Souls by Reprobus
I got 10,000 souls
and not one matters
10,000 souls
sink into my pockets
shadows stretch apart the seams
10,000 souls
are my friends on facebook
My living friends on facebook
are not much different
than 10,000 souls
living in a plane I haven't reached yet
or maybe I
passed above already
