Welcome to all of you with enthusiasm for
the literary, the musical and the artistic. We have stories, we have poems, we
have pictures, we have music reviews, and with your help, we're constantly
adding more.
The site is
updated with new material, let the
editor introduce the latest edition:
January 30th
2012
Well this is impressive, two editions in one month! (just)
I am very pleased to be able to start 2012 in such splendid style.
It's even more satisfying because I can introduce to you,
faithful reader, four new contributors. With this infusion of new blood, and
more good work from our regulars, I have high hopes for a great year for
Winamop.
That's enough effusiveness, let's get down to
business...
We'll start with a story from KJ Hannah Greenberg. We find
that her gentleman friend, although admirable in many ways, is inclined to drop
the odd cheese related clanger. If committed at an important event this can be
"A Grande Faux Pas" indeed... 
Now I'm very happy to introduce a new contributor, Bruce
Harris. [Bio] In this story, "Letting Linda Go",
it appears that Bruce has intercepted an e-mail exchange between an ambitious
boss and his long-standing P.A..
Another writer new to Winamop is Barbara M. Fried. She
describes herself as an unpublished writer living in Denver, CO, and working
as an anesthesiologist in private practice. On the evidence of this fine
story "Occupy Me", I can see no reason why she is so far unpublished!
To poetry now, and a first contribution from Tameka M.
Sharrette. [Bio] In this poem she's suffering
from a bad case of unrequited love. It's called, "And It's All Because Of
Love".
Completing this edition we have three poems from
Christopher Barnes. [Bio] He's a British poet who
has written many poems in his "Electric Chair" series. Here we have "A Good
Execution?" from that collection, plus a couple of others.
That's all we have this time. Remember that there's plenty
more to explore here, I never delete anything from the site (unless requested
by the author), so rummage through our archives to your heart's content.
Cheerio!
Ed.
Winamop was conceived on a whim, is run on a
shoestring, ignored by the many, loved by the few and has continued unabashed
since 2003.
All human life is here, experienced people,
skilled writers and rank amateurs, sometimes they hit the mark, sometimes they
belly-flop (sometimes they mix their metaphors). You pick up the pieces and
make of them what you will. Find out about us here
and about the site here.The contributor's
guidlines are here and the e-mail button is
below.
We hope to continue to maintain a showcase for new writing
which will grow as you, dear readers, augment the efforts of the in-house team.
We have over 400 unique pages so far but, quite frankly, we need more...
Have a good look around and if you feel that you'd like to
contribute in any genre, then don't be shy, send it in! The copyright remains
yours, and you could win a mop (unlikely, as I've run out).
Jump straight to a category using the buttons at the top
of the page, they work from any page. Remember, it's all free and is made from
100% natural ingredients!
