You need to be very brave to receive critique from a class and professor. I've had quite a few writing courses at college and sweated through each one of them.<br /><br />This is my first time here, Mel. I love your blog! I'll follow it and connect with you online.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your ups and downs with writing with your followers. Enjoy your week!<br />Victoria Marie Lees, http://victoriamarielees.blogspot.com <br />Victoria Marie Leeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05294868315757138169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301022531197433362.post-40690725863051213902017-09-09T12:41:45.031-07:002017-09-09T12:41:45.031-07:00Thanks, I'm happy to be here!

I used to try poetry but learned it's not my strong suit.<br />Sometimes is feels good to open up to others, but it's still something I struggle with.

Glad to have you on board.<br /><br />I tried writing a little poetry back in high school, but it wasn't very good. All I cared about was making sure the words rhymed. The content was secondary.<br /><br />Always keep writing!Chemist Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738272332470397248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301022531197433362.post-85002568687290352392017-09-07T07:38:47.087-07:002017-09-07T07:38:47.087-07:00Thank you!

I worked up the courage to join it about six months after finding it. I'm so glad because I have met wonderful and encouraging people among it's members. I'm so sad that you lost that special poem! I've lost pieces of early writing, and it will probably always bother me. The best cure is to go on writing! I stumbled into blogging, and I've been quite open and vulnerable about myself with things I have written on it ~ that was surprising to me too! "Rising Strong" sounds like a good read. I'll have to check it out. Happy writing in September! Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.com
