The Writing Game

Ideas are at times hard to capture into one good piece that will be appreciated. It is a constant struggle to please yourself, yet please someone who would buy what you write. It's like your soul and spirit takes a negative hit. by:Brandee Augustus

Congratulations on your win Brandee, i liked the way u've expressed a writer's /poet's constant / troubling fear everytime he makes up his mind to write something new.."who will read? /who will buy? awww it's bad...as an adrenaline rush. And yes, it's a negative hit leading to creation at the end and that suffices the hunger, leaving one parched as ever for more...thanks for your gracious remarks on celestial.....God bless.

Yes, the spirit does take a negative hit when you feel your work is unappreciated. But now you can rejoice, Brandee! Congratulations on your win in the contest. Love, Carolyn
