Writing's An Art

quatrain Writing is much like a runaway cart. With no destination in view, I start a masterpiece using words in my mind. Characters develop and a story I find. I post my piece, releasing the reins to an editor's hands. My genius wanes as remarks come which rank it as trash. Writing is much like a cart that has crashed. November 1, 2014

I am with you. It IS an art, and so rewarding when we can be published and appreciated , even here at Soup, in small ways we can find satisfaction with most of the wiser judges. Congrats on your win.

Congrats to you. And for any that comment on my poems, despite the current of PS, feel free to post the truth. It's what I want. If I want just sugar - I will have my mother read my poems.

Writing is an art but I would never leave a negative comment - I would rather not comment at all and risk hurting someone's feelings - great write and many congrats:-) Hugs Jan xx

Doesn't happen at PS, just in the world of writing as a profession. And it has to be done there. Just a figment of my imagination, I've not had any real experience in writing anything but poetry. Appreciate your attitude of non-negative. Thanks so much.
