This page is intended as a literary journal. What we are presently seeking is romanticist literature in modern settings. When we mention romanticism, we are not speaking only of love, relationships, and that sort of situation. Primarily what we are speaking of is a philosophy of life, where one follows his instincts, his passions, his impulses, without restraints of any type, save that dictated by logic and reason.
By now it must sound like we, here at The Periodic Pen, wish to resurrect The Golden Age. To be honest about the matter, we certainly would if we could! Surely the ageless tale of Leander swimming across the Hellespont for a bit of risque late night adventure on the sly, really excites us.
This type of romanticist mindset allows one to experience adventure at its highest degree. Men experience relationships with new, more thrilling women. Hunters seek more dangerous game in exotic places, and all of these people tend to live life on the move. People live for the thrill of being completely liberated, and their cherished right to live life on their own terms. Allow this literature journal and Rowdy Living Press to exonerate that individualist lifestyle, one that in our own time is fast fading away in the face of an ever dawning rule of collectivist absolutism.
Forget political correctness, perish the thought from your freeborn minds, please! We here at The Periodic Pen detest the concept. The US constitution preserves freedom of the press, freedom of thought and expression. Allow those who embrace collectivist absolutism to withdraw into their own shell of repressed thought and ideological expression, certainly not us. What we admire most of all besides really fine writing, is highly creative tact, such as that displayed by Dr. Seuss, and other authors.
Remember the romantic hero, his disregard for death, his love of adventure, his passion for life? There are still such people in our own time, believe it or not. We want to hear their stories, stories of modern day swashbucklers, sea roving thieves, and all about their island hideaways. Tell us all about modern day feral cities and towns, since we really do idolize places like Port Royal, back in its days of enlightenment, high adventure, and spectacular wealth. We here at The Periodic Pen truly regret that we couldn't have been there to participate.
Every once in a while its really fun to read tales about modern day gun slinging cowboys, and their ladies of the night. While short stories are outstanding, poems with length to them are fine, rather that short emotionless jolts. Short, however, can really enrapture, if the creative talent is there to accomplish it, so please bear this thought in mind If you are not quite sure yours is right, then go ahead and send it in. Let us be the judge as to quality, and so forth.
Examples of what we are seeking may be found in the poem, "The Imp And The Fairy Princess," and the short story, "Cabollo Di Las Dioses" as would be "The Tale Of Gringo El Loco." While at first glance these tales may sound as if they hark from ages passed, in some cases, they actually speak from the future.
Before any work is sent in, as always, it should be professionally edited. One mistake may well get you completely ignored in our slush pile. As we build our constituency, we plan on paying our writers, but at this time what we can offer is exposure and great publicity. Connections to this blog may be found in areas of high traffic throughout the web, such as on the game, Second Life, and numerous additional areas.
Work should be sent in a word/open office attachment. If we should choose to edit this work, we retain the right to do so. As you send it in, we are requesting your permission to do so, but we more than likely will not anyway. For the time being, remember the ageless buzz words for used cars.., as is.., well it will apply to writing published in this blog for the time being. Be sure to send us a three line biography.
Our plans are to possibly become a print journal in company with our online presence. We plan on selling very affordable advertisement clips at some point in the future, so feel free in inquire as the urge moves. This day and time, any type of publishing affair is a delicate, very time consuming process. Our plan is to berth our way onto the web from the womb of obscurity, crawl forward on the web, then grow until we reach a front line presence in the outside world. Most assuredly we are an ever evolving work in progress!
When we do publish, the imprint will fall under that of Rowdy Living Press. Just like RLP falls under the imprint of S,R,&H Enterprises. Its all just a mite complicated, isn't it? Feel free to ask questions in regard to this imprint at any time. One may also investigate the booksie account of H.L. Dowless, link found on the fore page of this blog. All questions are to be asked via the booksie site. Good luck, my dear blog friends in all your endeavors, especially if they are adventurous and involve literature, and as always, happy writing!
