Dear Prosers,
Where to start, I love all of your work. Every last one. But if I had to pick just a few to write about it would have to be:
Lynn- your work is amazing- stop getting down on yourself. There are poems you write that give me chills. Keep up the good work!
Rev_frenchie- you too. I have watched you grow here. Your personality shines so brightly in everything you write and I cannot count how many times you have made me laugh with your antics. You truly are perfect just the way you are - remember that!
Imnowriter16 - your pieces are amazing. I wish I could come up with something half as beautiful as you. Seriously - you rock
Unspecific - it goes without saying you are fantastic. The way you string things together and the imagery is brea
Artemis - you can tell that you are close with unspecific. Your writing is right on par with hers. It must be in the air of Seattle.
Leftyguitarist9 - I love it when you post. Though you don't post enough! I love seeing your point of view.
Jwiggytheloon - I miss you man. Come back!!!!!!!
Miggie - you are absolutely amazing. I love reading and conversing with you. Keep up the good work.
To everyone else, I truly do love everything written on here. I am just running out of time to continue listing each and everyone of you. I cannot express enough how amazed I am to find out how young some of you are. You definitely have the talents of those much older. Please keep up the good work and continue to contribute because I find it very sad when people drop off and don't return. I do notice. And it is as if we lost a voice in our choir. So the sound doesn't quite have the same effect and depth.
Prose Writers
I cannot single anyone out for special praise, so I immediately fail this challenge. But I will say this.
You are all the world to me, yes, you, reading this, you, every single one of you have moved me to laugh, or cheer, or cry, to a person such as myself you all are family and I speak as one almost alone in this world.
Wherever you are and whatever you do for a living, each time you write on this little app you become as powerful as any world leader, able to create and destroy whole worlds with your pen, and that is more exciting to me than anything that ever came from any politician or diplomat or businessman.
Your words, possibly insignificant to yourself, hold sway over my emotions and my imagination. Never feel that what you write is worthless, because someone somewhere needs to hear your voice.
What is of any real value in our throwaway world? A pair of flashy new trainers or a zippy new car will be old and forgotten in time but your words cannot die, they are read and remembered, and passed on, they bring light to a darkened soul and sunshine on a cloudy day.
Someone somewhere needs your encouragement, your thoughts can and do change lives. So write and post. You cannot know the power and impact your writing will have on someone else, far away.
I thank you, really, for reading my (sometimes horrendous) posts. You give my life meaning.
Hey, Come Back!
I've told you before...you're going places, kid! But that was before you actually went someplace. Now, I'm wondering what's happened to you. Many days have past without posts. Perhaps you have finals at school. Maybe sports are taking more of your time. But you are so young. So there will be plenty more opportunities to shine. Hope all is well.
For those who I follow...
Even if I don't mark your little poems and writing, I always read whatever you posted. I'm amazed with one of you guys, so old yet your writing feels like a young man speaking. (I thought you were thirty-something). Also the people who likes what I write, even though English isn't my native language. (I feel like I apply the way of writing of my own language).
I always thought about you guys knowing what to write but isn't like that. It's just picking the best moment to jump into the pool full of beginners' mistakes. And to have courage to other people read your stuff and comment what they saw on your writing about you.
Dear My Little Prose. Friends
So like Lsu11, I have multiple people to write about :)... and that mean like ten people!
MiGGiE- I realize this is the third time I'll be saying this but: YOU'RE SO FREAKIN' GORGEOUS. And besides that, you are so so so so good! I love your writings and you're just simply amazing and I love you :)
liv- you just started on Prose. but I know you in real life and I know that you're having insecurities about this. But I want you to know that you shouldn't! The people here are so nice and you have NOTHING to worry about! (Lsu11 and Yowwa I'm asking you to look out for her (; )
ArabWallflower- I know you're having family issues right now, but I want you to know that you're one of my best internet friends and that you're perfect and you WILL find you a Nick and/or a Tyson. (And I will ship it harder than Percico)
RiverStarr- I must admit, I haven't read a lot of your writings but I've gotten support from you and so I thank you for that :) and for what I've talked to you on Facebook, you seem really nice and amazing!
unspecific- YOU'RE SO AMAZING GURL. KEEP IT UP.
Mandamae- I haven't seen a lot from you, but today I saw your story about your *son* (I hate to assume) and you have my whole blessings and I hope you all have a wonderful life :) the writings that I've seen are amazing and I hope you continue to stay on here and upload stuff for a long time :D
Val- You don't get on here much... or at least upload much but I've talked to you before Prose. and you're simply amazing.
JaimeMathis- The first time you commented on my stuff, it was encouragement and I must admit that it has helped me tremendously. I thank you so much for that.
Lsu11- YOU'RE SO PERFECT OH MY GOSH I LOVE YOU AND YOU DESERVE ALL OF MY CAPS SO IMA THROW THEM AT YOU AND HOPEFULLY THEY DON'T POKE YOU TOO HARD. YOU'RE PERFECT AND SO KEEP THAT IN MIND ///FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE///!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER STOP Lsu11 BECAUSE YOU'RE GOIN' PLACES MAN
Yowwa- YOU TOO MAN. FREAKIN' LOVE YOU'RE STUFF AND YOU GET CAPS AS WELL BECAUSE YOU'RE SO NICE AND SUPPORTING OF EVERYONE AND YOU SERIOUSLY WARM ME UP INSIDE BECAUSE YOU'RE LIKE A CUDDLY OLD MAN AND I LOVE IT
And I'm soooooo hoping I'm not forgetting anyone!!! To everyone I tagged and event the ones I haven't, Stay Strong. (That pretty much means more than an 'I love you')
Now I'm off to tag all you people... wish me luck!
Family With No Invitation
Specifics, I can not say, but to all, a new story. I am a newcomer to this wall of beautiful words. I'm just settling in, just now putting my hat on the hanger. At first I planned to have the app for just a day or two, just skim through the top writer's stories and pick up a little piece here and there.
Then, I started realizing i kept seeing the same people everywhere. The comments, challenges, poetry pieces, the same people everywhere. I noticed they seemed to be helping each other in some way. After two days of curiosity, i noticed this site, even though small as a weapon hidden in an alleyway, was united. With inspiration in every corner, there was a member everyone knew, and all those members new such as I, all we must do is write. It makes us feel good, we get into a loop of writing over and over. Learning and gaining self happiness.
So my encouragement advice to those reading this?
Write. You are making in a difference in these member's lives, just like family.
A family with no invitation.
Good Luck!
@Burkes98 -
Write. Write every darn day. Write when you are happy, sad, and every shade in between. Write for fun of heart. Write for depth of soul. Write to entertain and to inspire. Write when you cannot bear the thought of writing and find a way to write when there is nothing else you would rather do but everything seems to be in the way.
Force yourself sometimes to write pithy. Force yourself some time to write verbosely. Force yourself to just write, because it is a part of you that need to be nurtured.
Revisit your writing. Date it and return to it on anniversaries. Remember where you were then and how far you have come. The negative writing suddenly might have meaning with a year of wisdom behind it.
You are young and seem to have a spark of a writer. So the best advice to give, is to just write and never look back.
