New Forum Idea that is mine!

Post by loCAtek »

This is mine, cause I have it!

I would like a place to post my bloggy scribblings, someplace other than a blog naturally. Over there in the back would be fine, we could set up tables and a mic, and darken the lights so I can't see folks nodding off as well.

All the other good names are taken so, I suggest: The Writer's Bloque! :mrgreen:

Ok, that sounds good to me.

I haven't written anything, as in my old short stories, for some time, it may inspire me to do so.

I'll leave this open for a while, if there's no objections and I'll set it up.

:ok

I might even try my hand - this forum presents a friendlier audience.

It's like Tourette's, and my many other disorders; U gotta laff at it while you can!

Zourettes. I would laff (sic) except to me it is more sad than funny. I don't like seeing the English language taken apart in such a disrespectful manner. U no, like text-speak. It is utter crap.

Um, that's what they said about Jazz music.

But in all fairness; :idea: a 'blog' forum would keep me corralled properly.

It is also what a lot of people say about Rap music, which is utter crap.

Perhaps your writing is fabulous but I will never know....

I like the visual image of corralling a Hawk-girl.

It would really need to be more your large aviary.
Bah!

For the record, I never minded the Zs or the other idiosyncracies of Loca's writing style. Like I said before, it's just part of who she is, and you always know it's her talking. She's a good storyteller with a keen eye and rhythmic sense both in language and structure. No need for a corral, maybe just a corrido.
GAH!

I don't think it bugs anyone but me. That's fine. But it bugs me enough to bring it up. Kind of like having a kid around who lets her bangs hang in her eyes. You can't help reaching over to push the bangs back while tut-tutting.

Next thing you know you'll be licking your fingers and wiping smudges of Dirt off of Locas face.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

If no one objects then, say by the time I can be arsed doing it, I'll create a "by our own authors" section in The Arts as a subforum.

That ok?

I may even link to some of my music in there :)
