I'd like to share a poem with you all, but just to be clear. THIS IS NOT MY POEM. It might be obvious to some, but this poem is a famous one by Dylan Thomas. Be brave! Pull through! Fight the end.

~~~
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

In response to this quote:
"If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck…you should not be so quick to jump to conclusions." (Cecil Gershwin Palmer)

If it weighs the same as a duck, it's made of wood, and therefore a witch.
I had to.

Well, the test-run for my novel is out! Reviews would be greatly appreciated!

Wow.... it's been a while....
My personal computer doesn't have access to YWS for some strange reason.
Hmm... Considering that what I just wrote sounds like an excuse, even to me.... well, here's to trying to get on YWS more.

Dude...... I passed my YWSiversary and I didn't even know it.... Oh well. Happy belated YWSiversary to me!!!
(Am I spelling that right?)

I just went to see the last installment of The Hobbit.

Wow.....

I am determined that I will participate in the November Review day. As soon as I post this, it will become an unbreakable resolution.
So if I don't show up tomorrow, I hereby give all of you the right to yell at me.

Oooh.... ten years?? Guess what that means... YWS is on double digits!!!!

Any of you ever think you should post something just so that there isn't some irrelevant thing on the front of your page, but you don't know what to write? And then...... you just write.
Well, um.... ahem... yeah.

I've been hoping lately that I won't be as busy this week as I was the last couple of Review Days...
Will someone please knock some sense into this priority-confused, stupid head of mine?

This site was recently featured in the YWS Squills newsletter, and it looks like a great idea!

YWS's funny "Story Theme Generator" just made my day... You should check it out!

I think I'm starting to enjoy reviewing just for the sake of reviewing. It's a good feeling.

After looking at various works and reviews, I'm starting to suspect that most writers are happy to receive reviews, but don't change their work based on the advice in them. I find it rather discouraging that even if you try hard to be very helpful, your advice is ignored.

I think my default reviewing word is "polish".
