Throw a Brick for NOTE

Postby Deb Porter » Sun Feb 17, 2013 11:39 pm

Hi Challengeers.

The final tally has been done, and we have our winners for the week. So, if you had an entry in for the NOTE Challenge, now is the time to point a few more readers your way (as well as read some other great entries). It's time to "throw a brick" straight to your entry (what a great way to get your week started).

All you have to do is reply to this post with a direct link to your entry. :D If you aren't sure how to do that, we have a guide to help you here:

How to Post a Link to Your Entry

If you would appreciate some constructive critique on your entry, please say RED INK WELCOME when you "throw your brick."

If you join in the brick throwing fun, please make sure you read and review the other brick throwers' entries as well. (There's a lot of good reading in there.)

(As always, if you would like a sample rating sheet to use when reading entries, please see this discussion: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=33906 )

Have fun!

Love, Deb

God's Zone

Richard's Profile

Real grace is God's invisible hand reaching down and touching the heart of sinful man. It is not restricted to only a select few. It does not hesitate, but boldly goes where no man has gone. The grace of God goes the distance to reach those deep hurting and bleeding places. But more than that it takes and heals and delivers and restores. We should all want to get in that special place where God pours out His healing grace...R. Hicks

My entry is one of those ideas that bubbles along in the back of your mind until suddenly it surfaces. I hope it's a blessing to you all.

RED INK WELCOME! Please always feel free to red pencil my "stuff"! Critiquing mineself after reading so many excellent entries, methinks that I misunderstood the "Note"!

Weighty Watching :eyes

Please dear kind someone, please read my poems -
not just to critique, but enjoy, sit and think.
I know I write often, and some are like tomes,
but I cannot stop them - my mind seeks to link

with someone who's been there, done that and so
can offer me feedback that's beyond mere praise.
My thoughts are just flying, my fingers too slow
to just tap on the keys for the rest of my days.

Outside the sun beckons, my dog wants to play.
My lazy form wants to just sit here and enter
what's sometimes just drivel - ofttimes I pray
that other activities would help me to center

on just washing dishes, or sweeping a floor -
chores that I willingly shirked way back then...
But I found this website, which cries to me more.
I no longer can focus 'cept with paper and pen.

I'll sit here for hours, inert and expecting
to find you before me - critiquing and reading
my heart baring entries. And find that instead
it's not only just me that must needs be fed.

This constant pulling- think a robin with worm!
And so, being patient, I slink off to dust
my books and my tables - then slowly I turn...
my computer needs dusting! And again I must

look once more through my listing and so hope to find
that you've had enough time to critique my grand works?
And much later I rise to finish dusting - my mind
pressing me upward and onward, ignoring what lurks

on the fringes - the calling - the desperate need
to return to my keyboard and search once again
to see if a kind soul my warped ego did feed.
But no one has read me and I sigh once again.

Eureka! A light dawns above this dim brain!
Why haven't you read all my wonderful poems?
If I critiqued yours, would we possibly gain
some free time to look into each other's domes?
:party

This one was very special and personal for me. I am excited about what you all have to say because you are in many ways another of God's love notes to me. http://www.faithwriters.com/wc-article- ... p?id=44917

I am hesitant to toss this piece of baked clay as it is not one of my better entry's. I even left an important word out of a scripture reference--oops. This is a true account shared with me by one of my teaching mentees. I decided to write it from his POV. I think it gives us a perspective of the different ways God can deal with us as individuals, though the laws of the Spirit are common to all.
It's also an honest concession that none of us are yet perfect. http://www.faithwriters.com/wc-article- ... p?id=44862

My story is at http://www.faithwriters.com/wc-article- ... p?id=44925

So is the kiss too much for FW now? I wrote a story a very long time ago with 2 kisses in it - under the romance genre and it was featured in the showcase. This isn't my best story so not worried about getting great comments but I did wonder if, considering how conservative we've become, this might be a bit too much. I kept it light. Anyway, what do you think? Thanks for looking.
