Rainbow Of Butterflies - Introducing a new blog


Today, I would like to introduce a new blog created and written by women – for women. It is a pivot on which you can share your stories and poems and tell the world who you are.

I do tend to ramble on, to stop that from happening I decided it would be better for the three producers of the blog to introduce themselves; here is what they had to say.

“The eyes, Shakespeare said, are the windows to your soul, we would like to dither. We all have beautiful eyes but the soul is a different matter altogether. The soul is made up of the mind, the will and the emotions.

On this blog, we would like to look into your soul through your words because we each have a story worth telling. So tell us the story of your soul. We are different but we are all beautiful, just like butterflies, trying to soar high. Even with broken wings and bruised scars we carry on.

We would love to hear stories of other butterflies too fluttering around so that together we can become Rainbow of Butterflies and inspires other with our life, so what are you waiting for? Write to us so that you can be part of this beautiful world to inspire…”

I would suggest that you do check out the blog and submit your work, the process is quite simple really and I found their way of working with people to be quite friendly yet professional. Contact them, and they will send you an email with further information:
 
Sharing your work on a fresh up and coming blog is a rare opportunity which I for one, will not miss out on!

Is Writing Really For Me?

Writing, poetry and random scribbles to me, are all a form of art. There are countless numbers of un-discovered poets around the world not only because it may be hard for some to get noticed, but for many the problem is, they never pick up the courage to show their work.

The way music differs in terms of genres and styles, similarly writing does too. You may feel like what you write does not fit what the 'mainstream' poets/writers do, therefore you come to the self-made conclusion that it isn't really literature.

But there will always be someone out there who is looking for just the type of story that you write. If you are interested in writing and it's something you enjoy, pick up a pen and notebook and write. I don't think Shakespeare would have anticipated that his poetry and plays would be studied inside out in English classrooms worldwide, four hundred years after his death. When it comes to writing, there are many opportunities, you could enjoy story writing, poetry, or you might even have the hand to be a playwright!

The important thing to remember here is that, the only way to improve your writing and form your own unique style, is to actually start writing. Practice makes perfect.

Tip: Set a timer for 10 minutes and write as much as you can and whatever comes to your mind, on a blank sheet of paper. This really is not time consuming, read through what u have written and you never know, you might just find your world famous poem between the lines of your scribbles.

In my next post, I will be writing about the various platforms that you can display your work on.
Leave your comments and suggestions. I would love to hear from you :)
