Where can I publish my poems/creative writing and get paid for it?

We Answered:

Rodney Said:

what should I include in my creative writing portfolio?

We Answered:

Just provide a sampling of your best works. One from each category you've mentioned should suffice. The more you include, the more the critical evaluation there will be.

poems/creative writing!!?

We Answered:

1. Read Anne Frank's diary. She was a 13 year-old who was given a diary for her birthday and almost immediately after had to go into hiding with her parents from the Nazis in Germany. So she called her diary Kitty, her one true friend that she could really trust. I actually haven't read it myself, only bits, but your poem reminded me of her. She was very intelligent and observant like you. I'm going to read it some time soon. You do too!

2. Very interesting about colours and their meanings. Impressionist painters (like Monet) discovered the same as you did that instead of mixing colours, paintings often look much better with little dots of colour side by side which gives the "impression" you desire when looked from a distance - the eye does the mixing. For example, http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/mon…
or Pissarro http://www.dl.ket.org/webmuseum/wm/paint…
or an extreme example by Seurat http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co…

3. Meaning - since the dawn of time, especially since the ancient Greeks, men and women have wondered these questions. The subject is called "philosophy" (and also religion). It's really interesting but also a bit disappointing because the questions don't get answered, but it's really worthwhile stuff to read and think about. There's the "theory of knowledge" (fancy name "epistemology") about what we can know in the world and "ethics" about good and evil and man's purpose. These are deep subjects, so get an easy book to get you into it like the novel "Sophie's World" by Gaarder. I've read it! It was several years ago, so I don't remember it so well now, but I'm sure you'll love it!

4. You're teachers are taking away a lot of the fun out of education. You have to think of it as a journey of discovery. The first "teachers" played around and discovered things for themselves and then taught their pupils, like you did just then with your thought about black and white being so pretty when separately together. There's so much out there to learn, most of it discovered already by other people, but when you find out about it, and if you play with it yourself, then you are discovering it for yourself and its yours too. To enjoy maths, you have to really play around to really understand what's going on. When you understand it, they become easy and when they're easy, they're fun, doesn't matter whether they're useful or not, and depending on what job you want to do it might be useful, you never know. So slow down and smell the roses, lol.

5. Everyone is weird in their different ways. Whether they are happy or sad depends a lot on their outlook. You sound to me pretty optimistic, but you're going through a really difficult period, so make sure you look after yourself, focus your concentration on your stomach when you get stressed and you will feel your breath there and it's relaxing, breathe deeply, courage and keep the smile!

Remember always that you are unique, just like everyone else.

Jerome Said:

Can people with asperger's be creative, be good at writing poems, can be good in writting litterature essays,

We Answered:

Steven Spielberg is diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome.

Dan Aykroyd is diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome.

Satoshi Tajiri (the Creator of Pokémon) is diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome.

That's just three well known individuals who are diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome who are creative in the Arts.

So to answer your question about whether individuals with Asperger Syndrome can, and are, creative in the Arts: Yes, they can be and in some instances incredibly successful because of the manner in which Asperger Syndrome presents itself in each of these individuals.

Servery: Do you think writing lyrics, poems, storys, or any creative writing in general helps relieve stress?

We Answered:

Definitely! If you're a creative person, you need a creative outlet whether it's writing, graffiti, playing an instrument or whatever it may be. I find that once I jot down a quick 16 or throw up a piece, I feel more relaxed, especially if I don't do it for a while.
