The General Problogue
Thus begins the blog of published writers' tales
Penned by some who do for free and some who do for sales.
Herein, you'll read their 31 tales, oh so true
And, think of how nice your writing journey shall be for you.
Enjoy the lessons, enjoy the passions, enjoy the variety.
Then, go forth along your pilgrimage, writing your own poetry,
Writing tales and emails and songs and blogs and plays.
Writing text notes to friends but also those dreaded English essays.
The sky is the limit for young writers true.
So, work hard, learn well, and practice too.
Keep all of your writing and return to it some day
Cuz, you never know what a part it can play
When you have a thought you need to say
And, there it'll be, just waiting to be used today.
Now, by this time, you must all be thinking
Ms. Love's poetry skills---they sure are stinking,
but it's the thought that counts in this General Problogue.
She's bad, she knows---but you're cog
in the future of phenomenal writing
and
she wants you to be the ONE all readers are citing.
So, read the wisdom these seasoned folks have to say,
and
Then, happily continue on your own publishing way!
Special Note: I'm opening this blog, as promised on this Monday morning, Nov. 12,2007, but it's still a work in progress, with a few more minor items to finish. I arrived home last night from the Young Authors' conference in St. Anthony, and I arrived home to a houseful of Border Collie puppies along with my own kids.
Needless to say, puppies have dominated life here at the Lovestead in Sandpoint. So, I'll get those items finished today or tomorrow. For now, enjoy what published authors have to say, and feel free to leave comments for any individuals on this list. Check back to see if they respond. I'll be letting all contributors know the blog address today, so they'll probably be reviewing it themselves in the next few days.
Again, check October and November archives to read information from all contributors. Thank you, young authors, your teachers and your parents, for two wonderful conferences in Moscow and St. Anthony. I had a delightful time at both; thank you for your gracious hospitality, hard work and contagious enthusiasm. Marianne
