Princess for a Day
By:
J.D. Allenruiz
The little teapot whistles as the water begins to boil.
She’s hunched over the sink enmeshed in her toils.
The hot sweat rolls on down her face,
And she wishes she was quit of this place.
She dreams of being a pretty princess to be,
A stunning beauty in a flowing white gown for the world to see.
A knight in shining armor comes…

Do you remember that day with the wind in your hair?
You said “Don’t be so silly, I really don’t care.”
The sun was shining so we went for a walk,
We were so in love that we didn’t talk.
We walked along holding each other’s hand.
Do you remember the name of that band?
It didn’t matter they had a great sound,
It was a crazy beat that was floating around.
It was quite late when we got home,
We…

A Kiss
By
JD Allenruiz
There was this kiss that was so special to me,
It was just this once as you can plainly see.
She came into my life one sunny day,
She was so beautiful that I asked her to stay.
I tried to run from all of my…

On a clear sunny day’ in the merry month of May.
Up from the sea he came, the sailor of her dreams.
She waited patiently for him to sweep her off her feet.
The fact that he did, she thought was so sweet.
Downtown in a bar listening to a jazz band.
He got down on one knee, and asked for her hand.…

Walking through the park I see, cherry blossoms falling from the trees.
Gently floating on the breeze, their wondrous fragrance makes me sigh.
With the sun caressing my face, they take me to a distant place.
A beautiful woman with lips that tasted like cherry…

Face in the Mirror
By:
JD Allen
When you look in the mirror what do you see?
Do you see the place where I used to be?
Or do you see those days of futures past?
Or things that just didn't last?
When you look in the mirror what do you see?
Is that a gray…

I am actually a very shy person and tend to be a bit of a loner. you would think that being in the military would cure me of that, but on my down time I tend to be a bit of a recluse.
I have been writing since 2007, which is not very long. I took a creative writing class at the university of maryland. I still don't know my grammer very well, so I tend to make mistakes in my writing.
I have been giving lots of thought to writing an e-book, or taking an existing story and…

Hi, all...
Linda here, with a writing challenge. I would like to start a blog series with the theme: Truth and It's Discontents.
If you'd like to participate, just write a short little essay and post it here for all the world (well, our tiny part of it anyway) to see. I will watch for entries and perhaps share them with our members at the next meeting (this Wednesday night for those who are really quick). But otherwise, I will encourage members to visit the site and…

Hi, everyone.
Just a reminder that you can blog in this space and share your thoughts with other members as well as folks who drop in to read our content. If you have another place where you blog, you can include your link as well. But remember, if you are someone who has signed up here to be a "pest," I will delete your content quickly, so don't bother. Ha ha!

Did anyone take the challenge this year? If so, let me know how you're doing. You've got just 3 more days, but a lot can happen in a short time!
Good luck!!!

Our meeting will be at Auntie's at 402 W. Main, Spokane, WA for those who can make it. We have a guest speaker - John Soennichsen - who will talk about his experiences with both being published with the aid of an agent for his nonfiction (Bretz's Flood), and also going the self-publishing route for his fiction (the Fat Detective).
Join us for an informative presentation and great discussion with Q&A.
See you Wednesday night.

As you can see, we're up and running again. If you are a member of NING (it's free, I believe) you can enter a blog post, add photos, etc. This is a good place to enter notices if you are looking for a collaborator - either for writing or illustrating - or an editor for your work.
We just had our October meeting and discussed local area publishers - what they offer and requrements - and also tips on finding an agent.
Check here for further news to be posted…

Well, there's one thing that remains the same: Change.
We're working on a new website for INWG which will be designed to meet our specific needs as a group. While NING has delayed switching off the current networks (now aiming for August), we do not know when this site will go dark. Since we will be paying for a site here, we are going to look at our own ISP for a website. Might as well get the best for our money.
Although the new site may not start off with all…

Hello everyone!
Thanks for your support of the site. It looks like a couple of you have been making contact and sharing information. I want you all to know that we are considering the value of the site carefully, since beginning July 20th, NING plans to drop networks unless they begin paying a fee. I'm not sure it's worth it, frankly, and I don't know if I (we) can afford it. While it's not a lot, it is still a regular fee that must be budgeted into our slim…

I have recently deleted several blog entries which were inappropriate. This is a network for writers... not a place to sell or advertise products. Thanks for your cooperation!
