Dear haijin, visitors and travelers,
I have a dilemma ... in the comments on the last GW-post about all our special features there were very different ideas about these features. Of course I love to grant all your ideas, but that isn't possible. I will look at all the specials again and will decide what to do with them. I like all the special features, but I am aware of all the work they give me and you all to respond on it.
So I will need your help.
There are a few features which I will keep:
- Cd-special (featuring haiku poets)
- Cd- ask jane
- Cd - just read
- Cd - little creatures & sparkling stars, which I will transform in one special feature
- Cd - time glass
- Cd - tan renga challenge
For all the other features I love to ask you all for help with chosing which to keep and which to let go. How do I do this?
Please look at all the special features (except the above mentioned) and choose the three features which you like the most. I will count all the mentioned special features (which will get the most votes so to say) and than I will decide which features we will keep and which we have to loose.
You can respond on this until October 25th ...
I am looking forward to your top three special features.
Namaste,
Kristjaan
Kris, you have already selected the half dozen favorites that you desire to keep....That gives you six items to prepare and squeeze into four weeks of the month. Assuming that you enjoy doing about a week's work on a favorite topic, you are stretching yourself beyond a comfortable enjoyment level. Keep things simple and don't add any new features for the holiday months.....Give yourself and us a rest.
ReplyDeleteMy one suggestion would be to encourage everyone to spend at least one week per quarter searching for resource webs which we can share for information, contests, and publishing opportunities. This item will help us all become better students of this wonderful art of oriental poetry. You may find that inputs of the items may make your brainstorming a lot easier....... opie
Hello Chevrefeuille --
ReplyDeletefavorites:
1) soliloquy no renga
2) music prompts (would love to hear music from new cultures & genres)
3) distillation
least favorite:
novel-based (difficult to keep up with the reading *and* to meet deadlines)
It is hard to throw away what are good ideas!
ReplyDeleteHowever, here is my answer to the task: I like the ghostwriter series, the troika and the seashell game with it's possible variants. I also enjoted analyse that haiku, think it could develop well. This site is such a good one.
I'd like to see these appear again: Cd Imagination, CD Free Style/Little Ones, Remember this Music - Thanks for asking :-)
ReplyDeleteKristjaan, I feel like with those wonderful choices you have selected you have a lot already. Maybe also keep the ghostwriter post, since on those you get some help with the writing, it isn't all on you. And I love the seashell game or some version of it, like this new idea you posted about today, a contest. A friendly one I am sure, we are so friendly here.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I daydream that we will someday have a real live meeting of this haiku kai. :)
