All,
What are the general thoughts on when to use -(e)s vs. -ing? I have been making the decision based mostly on aesthetic and frequently how it contributes to the length of the line and overall shape of the words, but I'm sure there's more to it than that.

Alan,
Thanks for the helpful links! NaHaiWriMo was one of those places I was curious about. I don't have a lot of interest in submitting anything for print publication now, but don't want to do anything which rules out the possibility, either. It sounds like anything submitted to NaHaiWriMo would, to most, be considered a published work, correct? Seems like there's a conundrum around seeking peer review for a poem and getting the final version accepted for publication. I'm sure I'll get a feel for it eventually. Thanks again for the links!

New to Haiku: Free Discussion Area / what is considered publishing?
« on: February 06, 2012, 02:33:00 AM »
All,
I have a few general questions regarding submitting work and I'm not sure what the 'best practices' are in the haiku world. I see several places where I would like to share some of my haiku, either for critique or to participate in a community. I also keep a blog of sorts where I discuss my experiences learning to write haiku. Is posting to these places considered publishing my work? In other words, does it prevent me from submitting my work to a curated journal or publication?
Also, what about contests? If I submit a poem and it does not win, does my submission prevent me from submitting it elsewere?
If these topics are discussed elsewhere, feel free to point me to those discussions.
Cheers,
Matthew

New to Haiku: Free Discussion Area / where to post: beginner vs advanced
« on: January 20, 2012, 09:34:22 PM »
All,
To begin with, I can't tell you how elated I am to find such an active group with such quality content and such diligent moderators. This place and the community are truly priceless.
Could someone clarify please when it is appropriate to post in New to Haiku > Advanced vs. New to Haiku > Beginner? If I am new to writing haiku 'correctly', but have a goal of becoming published, where should I post? If I post a poem in Beginner and gather feedback there, is it redundant to post it to Advanced for in-depth review? And, in general, how to I know if I'm a Beginner or Advanced?
I am new to the forum and didn't see these questions answered on my first pass, but feel free to point me to clarifying posts or discussions if my questions have answers elsewhere.
Cheers,
Matthew
