Dropping by to say hi, Marlive. I see that I am continually rotated at 100 poets project!

Hey, Marlive! I just wanted to thank one more time for the 100 poets project thing. I have done live readings with people in skype while they were in a blog room, and also with a yahoo group. A gal said I sounded like Shakespeare! and that I should do audiobooks! WOW!! I've made it! :) I don't know how I "sounded like Shakespeare" maybe my intonations...but if that doesn't encourage you to read your stuff, well, what would, eh? :)

I'm going to check out thegrits.com more and the others things you have floating around on your page.

Have a great day, Marlive! :)

The Path of a Creative Thinker at CTI

CREATIVE THINKERS INTERNATIONAL MEMBERSHIP GUIDELINES




1. Membership at CTI is free and open to all those interested in either the production or appreciation of the creative arts, to include literature, visual art, dance, music, film, spiritual theory, the social sciences, philosophy, general humanities, scientific inquiry, education in general, and other disciplines intended to enhance the quality of life for all humanity.

2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.

3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.

4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.

5. Explore, grow, share, and enjoy your creative success.

Please remember, these guidelines are likely to evolve as the site itself continues to evolve and develop. We welcome and encourage your input. After all, yours are some of the best minds on the planet so we would be very foolish not to listen to what you have to say.
