3 years at PPS

So it has been more than 3 years now since I first joined PPS. When I joined, I wasn't really serious. A friend of mine was a member that time and was just intrigued/challenged into joining. I can't recall if one can rate back then already but I do remember one cannot comment on poems. The top 50 back then was the most recently read I believe.

My 3 years at PPS is not really productive. I only wrote less than 30 and they're all posted here. For long periods of time I will go into "hibernation" only to return again and post a few poems before disappearing once more.

But I don't think I'm that awful of a writer. My poems still get decent comments and ratings. My poem (Not) Your Usual Shower is among the most commented on and even got a POTD.

I know I have grown as a writer. When I compare older works to my new ones, I can see the difference. It's not much, but still I improved (or at least I think I have).

I wish to improve more, but I know I will have to read and write a lot. Sadly, it seems that I'm not one of those people who can find inspiration from nothingness. Such persons are truly and remarkably gifted.

I hope to be able to experiment and try different topics and styles, though I admit it seems that I lack both the patience and talent to do so.

I wonder what the next days, weeks, months, years, will bring me...
