I entered a poetry contest, and I'm a semi-finalist! Independent of her specifically, but as a direct result of her post, I wanted to reiterate one of those conservative points that were drilled into me through the years: a lot of contests, especially those which require you to purchase the compilation, can be a sham. Like I said Annie, this has nothing to do with you, I just wanted to put in the two cents that lead to my million dollar question..probably one that's been discussed before: Is publishing really that important? (I mean that from a personal view point, obviously the spread of intellect is 100% dependent on this universal tool) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2000 23:28:45 -0700 From: chic-a-cherry-cola Subject: ET: incident hi everyone, i'm kind of going through something right now--i.e. going to a clinic for EC ("emergency contraception") and i'm highly scared, so if yall care to send me some good vibes i won't mind a bit. actually i'm utterly terrified and can think of little else, so...yeah i guess i just needed someone to tell. love from sam - -- "Every whisper Of every waking hour I'm Choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt lost and blinded fool" -REM ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 17:43:46 -0400 From: Nondescript Subject: ET: Poetry contest I just wanted to thank everyone who responded about the poetry contest. Some of my other friends online have also told me they entered it and got conned out of $50. One of my friends, Jill, said that two of her friends were supposed to be published in it "with no obligation" to buy the book. So they didn't, but when Jill bought a copy, they hadn't been published in it. This is depressing. I honestly thought that maybe I had the talent to be a writer, or I could get recognized somehow. I feel like an idiot. But I guess it's better than finding this out after paying for a copy. Thanks.
