  1. Hi Squills readers! I'm Lim and I am very new here. I go by many nicknames, including Limloom, Liminalit, Limi (alt spelling: Limmy) and Lim.exe. This is my author page where I babble about articles and chat to all of you.

    Joined Squills: 11th October 2021

    Because: I wanted to try a new kind of writing, and because I love the informative columns that pop up in Squills and wanted to get involved in that.

    Writing Preferences: My idea is to get involved with anything that discusses literary ideas! I have plans to start a column called 'Poetry Throughout the Ages', wherein we talk about the origins of some interesting forms or poetic concepts. I'm also keen on interviewing members or covering discussions that happened on the site. On YWS, I tend to dabble in both poetry and prose, but I'm really interested in all kinds of writing.

    General Information: I joined the site in 2018, and since then I've always been a little bit all over the place. My focus is spread wide and thin, like marmalade on a slice of toast.

    I enjoy participating in writing events like NaPo and NaNo, as well as a lot of writing challenges or prompts that catch my eye. I'm a pretty detailed reviewer and enjoy analysing things, so you'll often find me in places like Poetry Readers.

    You'll also see me hopping around Randomosity and trying to be funny on my wall or in pads. Reading and writing are essentially . . . my life, but I do love a good comedy skit and often procrastinate watching loads of YouTube videos. In terms of topics, I tend to be interested in philosophy, science, history and languages.

    Have any suggestions for an article? Did a thought occur to you when reading something I wrote? Did you want to ask a question? Feel free to let me know in this thread! :D
  2. Right now I'm beginning to research the pantoum form and its origins in the Malay-language pantun. It's going to be challenging, but hopefully well worth it!
  3. After that flower symbolism article, my next big Squills project to tackle involves poetic schools :D
  4. Research and planning for 3 of the schools are about done. c: Hoping to get in two more, maybe.
  5. I've been working on this one Poetry Throughout the Ages article for ages, and it's still got missing chunks, but no one can stop me HAHA!
  6. Ohh looking forward to reading it! :]
  7. After what feels like 6 months . . . (I know I started learning about poetic schools in c.20th for the first time last year lol) it is done. @lliyah I did it. I finished the quiz/article :'D Here's to hoping it can make it into KB as well!
  8. Ahhhhhhh! Exciting! I can't wait to read it :]

    And I absolutely have had yws things that have taken 6 months+ to write xD can't rush creativity sometimes ~
  9. Aha yep! Can't rush researching things either!
  10. Hey Lim! I got poem A & poem B on the recent snow poem quiz~ So fun! Really enjoyed the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem!

    Also...
    What’s your favourite thing to do on YWS out of these?
    a) Take care of the Egg.


    Loved that answer!
  11. @alliyah Whoops, sorry it took me so long to reply! And yay, that's awesome :D Yep that Longfellow one is really good - the way he personifies the sky/air gets to me.
  12. Hehe I'm happy to be working on another Squills poetry column as well. It's a poetry analysis one - I've been reliving how fun it is to share my analysis of poems. Hopefully the hashtag prompt I'm including will also get some people talking about the poem!


I have my books and my poetry to protect me.
