Well the Mrs. is really into tiger lilies and Narcissus flowers. I think it might depend on our location, though. I've also been looking into hydroponics lately and I think I might set something like that up on the east side of the rock.
Yeah, sadly not much light reaches under rocks, so growing things can often be difficult. I know exactly the thing that can save you. Apparently there's this new invention called solar panels, which can somehow store sunlight, and then release it later as solar light beams. If you have a storer on the outside, and a releaser on the inside, you can grow everything inside, combining the hydroponics and the solar panels. That way your garden can be on the inside, and your rock will not attract attention from noisy outsiders attempting to bring information and whatnot.
Well that's true, to an extent. I mean, it does help to know about symbolism and metaphors and shit, but I think all the little technical terms like iambic pentameter aren't really necessary since it's mostly what comes from your heart/experiences. Which is why it's stupid that Berkley is holding workshop classes for songwriting. If you think you need to go to a class to learn how to write a song, you won't be a good song writer.
Me, I'm a bit like F. Scott Fitzgerald. I know what sounds good, so I work at it to make it sound that way.
I guess it is necessary, or at least helpful, to have a certain knowledge of literary techniques, so one can knowingly implement them in order to achieve something. What I am skeptic to, however, is teaching people rules to follow when writing. Teaching them formulas for "good" literature. Sure this sounds pretentious, but I believe that halts creativity, progress and thought, and that's uncool.
