Crystol Woods Biography

I didn't start writing poetry until 2023. I had written a few songs and I guess that's how I got started. I've always wanted to be a writer... because I enjoy reading so much. I consume at least one book per week. That and studying the Bible are my favorite pass times. I was ordained as a Non-denominational Christian minister in 2020.

I also play the ukulele a little, sing a little, love crafting, sewing, cooking, and any kind of art. I've been in childcare and early education for 30 years and have 2 of my own. My husband, Harvey, and I are blessed with a daughter, Rosie, now 18 years old! And our son, Hunter, who lives in Heaven.

I've participated in so many contests; I can't remember all the prompts. I think this might be one I've already seen, possibly multiple times, but what popped into my head was to write a letter to someone: teacher, parent, sibling, lover, object (which would be a mix of the personification idea), whatever. That different era idea is fascinating, but it would be pretty challenging for me to get it right. How about writing in the language of the year 2124.

That last idea was done a long time ago but I think the sponsor had us write using slang or jargon from a certain regions, which is too difficult for those not in America. It's a good idea for eras also and will require research but that is easy to find. I don't know if I could do the first one very well but the middle one has been used before. It's a fun one. Somebody I think did owls or eagles. Or animal of our choice. I had people personify emotions a while back. Yes. That one is very popular . Another popular idea has been to give a number of words for poets to use in their poems. Giving topics is very common. I love when Ink Empress, Constance, and many others do inspiring ones.

Yes. It is nice to see them again. New people will never have that opportunity otherwise

Yess, as i was saying, writing, to Tom, I'll probably run into this a lot! But it doesn't hurt anything to rehash old, or already done, ideas I guess. Thanks for your feedback! Xo

Prompt: "Brian [pick a name] knew exactly what he was looking for...his confidence" Let's see where this leads, CW. ;o))
