The Plight To Write

To those who tried Before they died With little rope And no more hope They just sat down To Write their last For no one cared About their past No agent could they ever get Left out from all the well known set No contests did they ever win Their query letters Tossed in some bin For all live well Should they get fame Without it Just reduced to shame And one day when they're all alone And no one calls them on the phone Gone then is all their strength to bend The writer's reached his bitter end.

There is no end to writing. If you have it in you, put it to print. A member of our local writers' group published her first novel last year. She is 93. She sold 36 books at her first book signing. Remember, the trick is to never give up.
