Sorry no stories today. Just some introductions.
I have been pretty busy lately and haven't had the rime to put together a story to introduce the new members. We have 7 new members but one may be a familiar name. @Gwynne Conlyn has returned to the fold. Like me she owns her own community and bowed out for a while, which I understand. I have done the same with a community I belong to. Sometimes receiving all of the post from communities we belong to is overwhelming. If this is happening to you, I suggest keeping the membership and only following the leader directly. Just visit the posts if they are of interest. @Deepak Ud Has written a little and has interest in Journaling & substack. Deepak joined to explore his creative potential. @Steve Combs has written a little and is interested in writing that is funny. Steve joined because it was free. @Karen R has some completed works and mostly does fiction but is looking to branch out. Karen joined because she was searching for writing and blogs under Skool's discovery tab and this one caught her eye.
How long have you been writing?
I started writing in the era of the fall of the Berlin wall. I did my Writing 101 term paper on the fall of the wall. That means I have been writing and learning to write for over 35 years. How and when did you get your start writing?

Does anyone else measure the sylables in their poetry?
When I write poems I try to make sure the lines have a symitry of timing and pace by counting out the sylables to make sure this happens. I am not saying my lines never varry in a poem I am writing but I always try to make some sort of pattern that I feel lends to the timing, tempo, pace and general good feeling of the poem. I often put the count on the lines to make sure they match other lines in a patern as in: 7 7 8 8 7 7 Is this a quark that anyone else does. I think it might be due to the obsesive compulsiveness I have always had in my head. I used to count the number of steps to the bus stop when I was a kid. What quarks do you have in your poetry?
What is your favorite thing to write about or use in your writing?
We all have our got to things in life. What is the one thing that can't help but creap into the things you write? Do you know yourself enough to pick out that one thing that always shows up in your writing? For myself, I think it its certain words like, nevertheless, still (as in yet, which is another word), and 'That being said'. In some ways, I think it must be because of my faith in God that there is a Christian theme in my first book, which is acatually Fantasy Fiction. You may be able to pick up on a salvation allegorie in my first book even though I hadn't planned it.
