It’s forgiveness to write for my lack of continuity,
but only if I work from sun up till sundown.
I’ll type till my fingers are numb
at times and I often feel like I’ve accomplished
some great feat even though it’s just typing.
Sometimes I will start in the morning
and won’t stop till very late at night,
after the moon has graced us with its presence.
When I work during the day, I regret it
at times because I think I work better
when its 2am and I am sipping on some sort of fruit juice.
As the words pour out and the juice hits my palette,
I think of how I will feel when I am finally done
writing and what my words will sound like
to other people as they read them.
I've grown accustomed to that feeling
because I know that regardless of how I feel
when I am done writing,
I will just do it all over again the next night.
Over and over again until I have something
that resembles a novel that is alright,
and no one will buy it.
No one will buy it if that is your attitude. If you honestly feel that it is worth buying, others will too.
ReplyDeletethis piece was supposed to be a satirical look at my style and method. You have to read into it a little more. Kind of like an "I'm my own worse critic" sort of piece.
