~NEVER~

"NEVER--let anyone's personal views on poetry or writing, sway you from creating. Sometimes, even great minds can be wrong. If it moves you, then keep writing! Not every great poet was born a great poet, some had to evolve with experience."

[John Stussy]

Wise words indeed.

[Wanda Philipps]

Very well put, it takes time to be good at anything. The harder we work at it the better we get.

[A.J. Smith]

Yes. Writing is first and foremost for you, the writer. If someone does not care for your art, then they should just move along. I think I'll hang...like your stuff. I love Enya and Enigma, by the way. Looking forward to seeing your old stuff, and your new stuff, back in this cafe.

Very good advice. The wellspring seems to be the urgent need to express in words. The craft comes along. There is a rhythm to words that can be learned through practice. The ability to bare oneself seems to be the heart part as well. Anyhow...I am really glad you said this so well.

Amen!!!!!!! I've written all my life I think, but I look back and laugh at my old stuff. I write for the pure love of writing and the emotions that it helps me express or release! It's for me! If it resignates with someone else, all the better! :)
