Most artists I know would definitely use it to assist them in creating in some form. But it might be better used for one person for a daycare twice a week so they can write. Flexibility would be nice.<br /><br />It's still good to have, though. Most places don't even see speculative poetry as legitimate.Jennifer Ruth Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04699005759754946494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153239170529797909.post-27642656433489513972016-06-24T10:49:12.461-06:002016-06-24T10:49:12.461-06:00That is annoying!

It's like 'we'll give money for THIS ONE SPECIFIC THING' which automatically limits the people who can take advantage of it. <br /><br />For me the limitations are time and children. I know this is only a phase of my life and that my children will someday be grown, but I can't take opportunities that mean I'll be away from my home for semesters or summers or even just multiple weeks without MAJOR organization. I know I'm fortunate in what opportunities I *can* lay claim to, but it still rankles a bit when there's something I'm locked out of. <br /><br />I hate that there doesn't seem to be something appropriate online for you. I guess it's too niche? I'll definitely let you know if I ever hear of such a critter. <br /><br />@mirymom1 from<br /><a href="http://samanthabryant.com" rel="nofollow">Balancing Act</a>Samantha Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684962313482409801noreply@blogger.com
