Dear Whispers' Friends,
Inge Wesdijk
(Daginne Aignend)—The Netherlands, Activity Editor is accepting poems for individual
publication in January. One of her goals is to give writers of various levels a
chance to share in her inspiring opportunities. I'm so grateful that our
talented friend is offering another opportunity to help us grow as writers.
Note--This will replace the former individual poem publication
opportunity. The poems will be published in January. Only
one topic notification email will go out each month which you are welcome to share with
your friends. Each writer is eligible for one publication per
month and be notified when his or her poem is published. Inge and I will adjust this if the volume is too much for one
month.
From--Inge
Wesdijk, Whispers' Activity Editor

I really look forward to another activity on our topic 'Dreams'
ReplyDeleteWhat are your dreams for the next year? Did some of your dreams come true? What was your worst nightmare and you never want that dream to haunt you again. There's so much to explore in dreams.
I know December is a busy month for most of you but I hope I will receive some beautifully written jewels from our community.
Best wishes,
Inge
Dear Inge--This sounds like fun. Great way to get to know one another better. Looking forward to this 'activity'.
ReplyDeleteDear Inge,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Barbara that dreams help others understand our inner cores. I'm excited to read the poems that I know will enjoy. Thank you for being our wonderful activity editor. It is a joy to work with you.
Blessings,
Karen
One topic as a prompt, with different forms and styles, should work extremely well. Good luck and seasonal greetings to all! ~ paul
