Poetry Journal

[kat_lair]

Lately, I've been feeling increasingly uncomfortable of posting poems and talking about poetry here. This is for two reasons:

1. I feel like I'm foisting poetry on people who don't care. This isn't about seeking validation, I don't expect people to be interested in everything I post (vice versa is certainly true). I simply wanted to give people who aren't interested the option of not being spammed with it.

2. I have vague plans of submitting stuff in the future, under my real name, which is why I also want a degree of separation between poetry and fandom/personal babble that this journal is for.

So, after some thinking and planning, I've created a new journal exclusively for poetry related things.

I will use this journal for two main purposes:

1. To post my own writing, mostly poetry and lyrics.These entries are friends-locked.
2. To talk about other people's poetry, writing poetry, reading poetry, and possible future forays into submissions and publishing. These entries are open.

This means that from now on all future poetry related content will be posted at boneverse and not at kat_lair. I have posted (back dated) everything there that was previously posted here, and old stuff can be accessed via the Masterlist. The poetry posts on this journal will be locked private and the old Masterlist of poems deleted.

So, if you want to follow my poetry-related posts, then please friend boneverse. I will automatically add back anyone I have also friended on this journal. Lurkers are still welcome, friending the poetry journal certainly doesn't obligate you to comment on the poems, but you might want to drop me a quick note here if we've never spoken before.
