Hi, Adreana! Nice to meet you! It's awesome that you picked up writing again! Even more amazing that you're working on your first book! I recently released my first one and I think a few other poets here have publications under their belts! If you ever have any questions about publishing or marketing, shoot me a message or post in the Discussions! (Book reviewers are always looking for new books to read/review *hint hint*!) Looking forward to checking out your work!

Welcome, Ankita! I'm thoroughly obsessed with Robert Frost's poem, "The Road Not Taken"! I've read and analyzed it so many times (for classes and in my free time) and I still love it! I for one LOVE dark, morbid, twisted poetry! It's so interesting to read! (I'm also the daughter of a psychologist with a similar intellect so the darker side of humanity intrigues me lol) Edgar Allan Poe is also another poet I love.

Hi, Marie! It's nice to meet you! Honestly, I envy you being able to just chill in a cafe as you write. I've always loved the idea of being able to do that but I find it so hard to focus when people are around! I can listen to music (instrumentals mostly) and write all day long with no problem though. I'm also a bit of a people-watcher so that could be my issue right there :)

Glad to have you! As for the “branding”, I’ve been on Instagram for a little over a year and my idea of branding is combining poetry posts, book reviews, poet/writer spotlights, and the occasional fun question! ...Needless to say, I’m still working on it! Welcome aboard!

Nice to meet you, Emilio! I love your sense of humor! You’re going to fit in great, I’m sure of it!

Welcome! We’re so glad to have you!❤️

GRACE!!!!! So glad you joined us! Looks like it’s a party now!🥳

Hi, Alexandra! It’s so nice to meet you! Welcome to the Cove!

Welcome! I’m a bit new-ish to the poetry world myself! I’ve only been writing poetry for a little over a year BUT I also write short stories and novels as well! I’m sure you’ll fit in great here!

Hi, Zoya! Sounds like you and I have some things in common (you like anime too?!) It’s nice to meet you!

I remember the satisfaction of completing my first novel a few years ago thanks to NaNoWriMo! I still participate in it but haven't been able to win the last 2 years in particular lol! And Mom's homemade Christmas dinner sounds delicious! (I know I love my mom's food, especially around the holidays!)

Oh wow, my mom is a psychologist! (I actually think just like her lol) Looking forward to reading that poetry collection once you've finished it!

That all sounds so interesting! And I will be checking out your book!

Hi! I’m Brooke! I’m from the hellishly humid state of South Carolina (US). I published my first poetry collection, Exposed, in December of last year! I’m also about 2 weeks away from graduating with a Bachelors degree in Creative Writing. I love getting involved in projects (like this one), talking with other writers/poets, and reading books. I’ve had a Instagram account for about a year where I post poems, book reviews, poet/writer spotlights, a fun question to answer every now and then, and I hope to have another publication of either poetry or fiction sometime this year! (So many projects to work on!) Nice to meet you all!
