MY VOCAB PRACTICE:
Victory:
A victory is coming when we release "Quest in the Realm," a product of the @bananafish knights coming out Feb. 11th.
Invincible:
I'd like to say that we are invincible but the bullet holes I'm finding in my body tell me otherwise.
Vanquish:
I had to vanquish the lines that wanted to stay in this written piece.
Convince:
Perhaps, after my years of loyal service and some "heavy" bending of the truth, you will willing help us promote the above quest.
Good work!
@majes.tytyty - Just maybe you will be willing to help support us, @bananafish, anyway that you can. Here is a very short and brief post I freewritted just now (it's cold and I'm going to bed). Also, I'm not great at marketing 8-) ahahaha. But, you'll get the gist at the moment I think.

Will check it out.
@majes.tytyty - I do remember you saying that the fiction stuff wasn't up your particular alley, but I still thought you might like helping the "Quest in the Realms" project when it come out (me being one of the writers for it. It's looks great by the way. Very fun, for me at least 8-)
I saw your comment on the haiku. Do you write them?
I've been writing them for a few months now, first with vdux and then with bananafish when they came out. I like that bananafish is attempting to teach people about what a haiku is and is not.
No, I don't write much haiku, or any other poetry. In my (long) life, I've completed a total of 2 poems. Of debatable quality.
I'm not that far ahead of you in poetry writing.
Lovely and brilliant example!
You see what I do for fun. 8-)
