I think I've got it now!

Okay, I watched Professor Lee's podcast (again), and realized that I forgot to add the word "forum" or "bulletin board" to my google search. This time I did it and found a writer's site where published and unpublished authors meet. It is, http://www.writersbeat.com/ Members join for free and write stories and poetry. There are contests to enter and threaded discussions in which to engage. The site puts out a quarterly newsletter in which I found some very interesting prose. One member, Brandon Walsh, had members vote his story, "The Princess of Kosovo: A Memoir",  to be in the newsletter. Though I felt the story could use a bit of editing, it was a very gripping tale and I was glad this member won. I encountered a poem that did not rhyme much, but I really liked it anyway (this is unusual for me). It was called, "Paper Garden", by Fegger (I am sure this is an online name). One more thing I found quite fascinating was something called, "Writer's Vault". It seems that the writer of this section finds about a half dozen antiquated words and defines them for readers. I am not yet sure if all the words come from the Victorian Era, or just the ones in this quarterly issue. Anyway, members have the opportunity to write and submit a piece called "flash fiction" in which they use one or more of the outdated words. Winners of this contest have their entries published in the quarterly newsletter. It seems like a lot of fun. I only hope I can balance my time there with my homework!
