About my writings.
Some of you have shown some concern about my mental heath due to the topics of my writings. Well, not to worry. I am fine. I am the poet, not, the poem. Years ago, I went to a Writers Conference at Cape Cod. It was the only conference that I ever went to. I came away with these ideas. First and foremost is that I must write til I bleed. That only means that I must put my heart and soul into my writings. That is something that some of you think that I may have carried to an extreme.
This I have proven to be very effective due to some of the responses that I have been given.
Another lesson learned is that I must write to please myself. About 95% of my writing is off-the-cuff, meaning that I just write what I feel like at the moment. Once that moment is gone it is gone forever. I don't edit what I write. I just write. If, my works finally find a way to a publisher, I will work with the publisher to fix my writing problems. I am sure that I have many.
Until then, I will write til I bleed and to please myself.
Thank You!
