SparkPeople The Writer In Me Team Messageboard

Hi :)

Sun, 28 Apr 2013 19:56:08 EST

Ok so i'm another "newbie". I've been on the team for a little while but never posted or what not because I plainly forgot all the teams I joined. I wrote a lot of poetry when I was in college just to get thoughts out of my head. That turned into a dream of being a photojournalist...meanwhile the writing aspect left me. So here I am trying to write again and also lose weight. woo.

Quotable Quotes

Sat, 2 Feb 2013 07:58:04 EST

I have been successful probably because I have always realized that I knew nothing about writing and have merely tried to tell an interesting story entertainingly.

Flash Fiction

Mon, 28 Jan 2013 08:06:08 EST

Here is something from the National Flash Fiction Day 2013 website:

"Flash-what?
Flash-fiction, of course!

The name is believed to have been first coined back in 1992 as the title to an anthology of very short stories, and the name has stuck.

Of course, there is nothing new about the short-short story, Kafka, Chekov and Lovecraft all wrote in this form. And Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words: 'For sale: baby shoes, never worn'. But in recent ...

Hello to my fellow writers!

Fri, 25 Jan 2013 16:39:15 EST

Hello!

I saw this team pop up while I was searching for some to join, other than the ones they automatically drafted me into, and just HAD to join.

I don't write half as much as I once did or as I should. I've always loved writing poetry and fiction pieces since I was very young. I'm the world's worst for starting a story, getting halfway through, and suddenly leaving it mid-flow because I get distracted. I want to write more and I'm hoping to get some inspiration from ...

What does it mean to huddle?

Fri, 4 Jan 2013 14:17:13 EST

We ask you as a team member to huddle each day. But why? To huddle" each day helps your team members and YOU. When you huddle you motivate each other, celebrate success, and earn SparkPoints! I cannot think of one reason not to huddle.

Come on let's share

Tue, 1 Jan 2013 20:00:29 EST

Over the years that I have been a Sparker, I have noticed so many people share how great things are. There appears that there is a hidden "No No" about sharing our not so good time--the struggles.

Yet, those struggles are what gives us strength and character. You cannot really write with feeling or passion without those struggles, nor can you be an encourager of support to others.

Therefore, I am hoping that all of us will use this thread to share our story, ask for ...

Hi I am Faith ...LIVIN MYDREAMS

Mon, 31 Dec 2012 12:36:11 EST

Hi I am new to this team. When I saw that there was such a team I knew I wanted to join. I have written some and need motivation to keep writing. I know that is something that I need to do. I am willing to share what I have written. So far they are just short "blurbs" mostly about family, my relationship with God, my transformation, etc. I am sort of going towards poetry and I love writing Haikus right now. I know that there is a book in me about my family and God's faithfulness in our lives....

What stimulates you to write

Sat, 1 Dec 2012 11:21:55 EST

How do you keep focused on your writing and doing your daily tasks. I find it hard sometimes and I loose my thoughts. I have to keep writing and that is not always possible for a mom.

I am a writer wannabe who used to be a columnist in a faith-based county newspaper that stopped publishing for lack of funding. I have a few unpublished short stories on some flash drives around and a half-completed account of my experience with my husband's journey through stroke and later therapy on my computer. I make up tales on a whim to tell young children and would love to get one published about Marbles, my Maltese (he's a handsome boy - pic on my Sparkpage). Problem is, I have no ...

Spark team message boards are fun

Sat, 18 Feb 2012 03:19:30 EST

I am enjoying the spark team message boards because they are smaller than the general message boards, so you don't feel so lost when you post on one of them. I also like that the topics are narrowed by the team focus, and that people respond fairly instantaneously.

I'm wanting to revisit and revitalize my blog

Sat, 18 Feb 2012 03:14:38 EST

I have a blog on blogspot at http://larksongwriting.blogspot.com/. I think I created it while I was taking my library endorsement training. I've been thinking a lot about it lately. I realized tonight when I went to visit that it had been abandoned for almost exactly a year. In some ways, it was my online identity, but it was so dry because it contained these factual reports and path finders created for my classes.. I removed all the fact filled posts tonight, leaving only one on journaling w...

I hope no one minds if I put this here, but I thought I should share some information from my publisher that might spur you on to finish your work and get published.

When economies are low, people will buy more books to read. They can afford books, but they feel they can't afford the usual things they do when economies are high. So with that thought in mind, you may want to get published before the economy goes back up because onece you get it published (which take...

I have been writing for quite a while. It started when I joined a social group and we wrote. Within this group, there was a clown troop, (that's right a clown troop). We wrote our clown stories and did other things.

I entered college and had a creative class and have been writing creatively ever since.

2. "FOR WITHER THOU GOEST I WILL GO;AND WHERE THOU LODGEST I WILL LODGE; THOU PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE AND THOU GOD SHALL BE MY GOD," WAS SAID BY WHOM?

4. WHO SAID, "...

I wanted to let everyone know that I have published a novel, Descent Into Temptation, as well as three children's books, The Fearless Three series, aimed at early readers.
Descent Into Temptation is an intense read that follows one man's erotic spiral as he loses the ability to determine what is real and what is not.
And the Fearless Three books are based on watching my own children play and the imaginary places they go just by putting their minds to it!
They are all available ...

Lots of other writing projects on the back burners but I'm excited to finally have something good enough to send off to an agent. In my "real" life, I teach fourth graders and only have a few more weeks until school starts. I'm single, 58 years old, lots of hobbies besides writing including reading, gardening, l...

It's helping me in my journey which has been stalled here for quite a while. I've been doing spark people for a year now, but I've only started actually DOING the whole program recently--finding interesting spark teams that I'm excited to be part of and that keep me engaged and interested is the key...

Good morning to all,
My name is laura, I am 27 and love to write stories or anything that comes to mind. In school my favorite subject was English. I would sit outside, in my bedroom or a quite place and start to write. In grade school I wrote a story for my English class and it made my teacher cry, it was also put into a book that us students made. Writing stories or other things that come to mind is a wonderful thing to have. Writing your ideas out on paper brings it to life and ...

New me (poem)

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:45:24 EST

The ease to it doesn’t come quickly,
Inside me there is always a continuous fight.
There hasn’t been someone to tell me I’d be all right.
My life consists of so many people around me but
Why do I feel so alone?
I guess I’ve never had that place to call a home.
So many reasons why I should turn around,
I wish I could close my eyes, take a step, and don’t look down.

Just let go, and have no fear. That is my greatest desire,
I’d love to seize t...

At the New Year, I went to the store with my man. I knew I wanted to start the year off right so I stayed away from sweets and bad-for-me-but-oh-so-yummy carbs. When I went down the aisle with the rice, I found something new. Minute Rice has a new brown rice in individual serving cups that you pop in the microwave for, duh, a minute. You don't add water or anything. Just peel off the covering and put it in the microwave. A minute later you have a hot, healthy, low-calorie serving of rice. I'v...

Another new snack

Sun, 29 Jul 2007 19:39:02 EST

I went to Wal-Mart today in search of my new favorite Pringle's snack. And guess what? All gone! Although there were other Pringle's Select brands there like barbeque and Parmesean, I was in the mood for something sweet. So on that same shelf I found a new Frito-Lay snack called Flat Earth Baked Fruit Crisps. I bought the Apple Cinnamon Grove variety.

It's pretty good. The downside of this snack versus the Pringle's one is that half of the servings of this snack has more sugar. Ab...

Mon, 9 Jul 2007 16:10:28 EST

When I went grocery shopping today, out of habit, I strolled down the chips and snack aisle. At the very end, there was a specialty chip display. If you find one of these in your store, stop and check it out! On it I found a great new snack from Pringles (and no Olean either!). They've come out with a great new crisp called Select. I bought the Pringles Select Cinnamon Sweet Potato crisps. When you're looking for something sweet and crispy like a potato chip without all of the calories, try i...
