What is ShotGun.Poetry?
ShotGun.Poetry is a small writing community that shines upon hidden talented writers and poets all around MySpace. Established in February by DeFF, Queen Michelle and Vennie, we are quickly becoming one of the most entertained and animated groups by bringing everything else on the table. Our main focus isn't only poetry, but having fun, exploring the possibilities behind words and extending our knowledge and skills beyond the tip of our own pens by supporting our fellow poets and writers. Our motto is "Inspiration comes with appreciation" and we stand firm behind it.
What makes ShotGun.Poetry different from all the rest?
We do the little things. The everyday-overlook-simple-little-things. Our challenges are fun, exciting and educational that most of our poets and writers gain a lot of new friends just by participating. Popularity isn't something you would find in our "To Dos" list, we do not lengthen our way to make one the hottest or the most talked about - we do what we do so you can get noticed by many (like publishers, recruiters etc) not because of your abs or looks but your skills.
Why the name ShotGun.Poetry?
Because we never leave our friends behind, they all ride "shotgun" in our shoebox with wheels..haha. We listen to the old ones and get acquainted to the new ones, each our poets have unique ways to put their thoughts on paper, and we simply just provide them the tools.
How do you plan on doing that?
