A revolution needs to happen down there friends, if we are to salvage what was once great and restore it to former glory. We need to head out in force and read, read read, then write, write, write and share all our works without fear of reprisal, ridicule or rejection!
Even its neighbouring forum, Relm’s Studio, has undergone renovations in the past, but it too suffers from the same dedicated artists supplying us with artwork that we do not see, do not feel. Certainly, though, it sees greater traffic; and why shouldn’t it? Art is easier to glance at, a smaller investment for greater aesthetic award. Art has depth, too, but it is not as dense as the written word, and so many view our literary haven as tl;dr and avoid it like the plague. That saddens me, but I am not without fault. Though poetry is the most common form of post within ye olde Writer’s Corner, that is no fault of the contributors. Certainly, each writer has his or her own preferences, and I lack the skills and appreciation of poetry. However, my contributions in the form of prose have also been sorely lacking; something I hope to rectify in the near future. Perhaps, even, I might secure myself a nomination for the next Ciddies, like the ones of yore.
They say the pen is mightier than the sword, yet we seem to lack the strength required to burst free of these chains of mere subsistence. These writers are all talented in their own way, with each excelling in a completely different form of writing. Will we be able to thrive under their guidance, or will more warriors need to take up their implements and create a brand new world for us all?
