I Didn't Lose my Muse....But my Courage
04/24/2009 04:45 p.m.
i have been uninspired lately. my writing has become boring and unsatisfying. today i read over some of my older stuff that i pulled from here and i realized that i have stopped writing honestly. too many people who know me and whose opinions i value know that i am here and read my work. i am afraid to be honest...which makes my writing suck. i wish i could just write and not worry about how others might interpret my work.
I am currently Reflective
I am listening to Snow Patrol

The whole point of writing is for it to be read. And with that...no expectation can be given making the reader react any certain way. That is the beauty of writing...we all get to experience the same block of words differently. I am my own worst critic, as I am sure so are you. I have NEVER thought your writing sucks. Write for yourself...not what others think or will think. My poems are my children....I love my children as any parent would....but that doesn't mean others will like them. That is ok though. Anyway...I've seemed to ramble on a bit when all I really wanted to say was this: I think you are an extremely talented writer and I am honored to be your reader....but much more blessed to be your fellow poet and friend. Love ya girl!!!

I really like Shonda's response and particularly relating to your poems as your children. You do write great poetry. I admit, I would love to read something that YOU feel is more honest...
