march roundup post

better than i thought, considering it's been kind of an emotional roller coaster of a month.

talking pictures: four dialogue only fics

saturday night special. i am proud of this one because i'd been working on it a while and it turned out far better than i expected (for which i credit magie_05)

lunch break this also turned out better than i expected, especially considering i don't generally write hardcore bdsm. apparently i'm better at it than i thought. good to know.

and in non-fandom writings, a still-untitled poem that i'm quite proud of (and will leave unlocked for a few days and then possibly find a home for.)

---

what's good about this:

i think my poetry as a whole is getting better. i think i'm getting better at writing longer fics. those are two things i'm pleased with at the moment. i want to play with more poetry forms, because i like poetry forms. and i think i'm getting better at writing sex scenes at a realistic pace/length, you know, more like actual sex (god i hope that made sense.)

file that under 'things i do well' *creates tag*

part of my brain files this as 'bragging about myself' but i'm trying not to listen to that part

Yes, do not listen to that part of your brain. It just might be me being arrogant, but I think it's 100% perfectly okay to recognize that you do something well, be excited about it, and be able to say to other people, "You know what? I do [this] really well. I know [this]. And I'm proud that I can do [this] well, because I worked to develop it." I don't think there's anything wrong with that. So don't even listen to that part of your brain. ;)

LOL "PACE/LENGTH"

Now that I've gotten that out of my system, YES YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF.

If you enjoy poetry forms, this (http://www.volecentral.co.uk/vf/) is a great site; I discovered it in the early phases of my sonnet addiction. It lists dozens of both common and obscure forms from all over the world, and examples of those forms.

And I agree: you do write great poetry. Reading it puts me in the mood to go write some. (And I've said it before, but your fics are things of wit and beauty every time.)
