Just received some really positive input from a respected source on a few pieces of poetry and that has encouraged me to maybe even submit along with the short stories as the reading season comes to a close.
I’ve never gotten any good local response or encouragement to my poetic attempts so I usually write poetry just as an exercise in imagery and concise form to assist in story writing. But secretly, deep down, we all think we’re poets and that alone, to a writer, tips you off to the very real possibility that you’re not and self-doubt is one of the biggest walls to overcome.
So I’m off in yet another direction.
