Prose, I Suppose
Yes. Prose. I do rather feel comfortable surrounded by like minded people; writers both professional and amateur (is there really any such thing as an amateur writer given that a by product of our efforts is the satisfaction and joy in hearing from others who like our stuff?). I was on another site when I heard the Prose whisper, so I thought I would give it a go.
I was unsure at first, I couldn't get a productive vibe from the site and everything was rather hush hush in that nobody spoke much.
But I stuck with and am so glad I did. Here I find myself some months later amid a bubbling cauldron of ideas, feedback and challenges that hurl ideas at me from all sides. I know that as a writer I am growing and learning. My brain is feeding upon this little screen and I crave the constant drip feed of stimulus which is now constant.
It is Prose, it is quite superb.
I cannot think of a better way to read and write, on my iPhone at least.
Name dropping
Jeff Stewart and I have been pals for years and he turned me on to the idea early on. I keep kicking myself for not getting an iphone so I could have been Prose-ing from the beginning! While I still don't have an iphone, I've got mad interweb skills, so I'm waiting anxiously for the app to make the leap to smart phones too! Go development team, go!!
March, 2014. Austin, Texas.
I heard about Prose from author Jeff Stewart. I downloaded it for the same reason he downloaded it:
"Why aren't people who appreciate what I write able to instantly read anything that I spontaneously create on their phones on a platform as fast, beautiful and social as Instagram?"
