Not a question at all; but thoughts from someone who has been a writer most of his life.
So many come here asking about there work; and many young; most wanting approval, or an EAR.
Certainly we'd all like positive affirmations about something we make so public; but the more positive answers should come from within.
"DO I LIKE IT?" should be the first Q anyone asks. "What does it do for me?"
Certainly as a Poet; so much of what we do is an emotional experience; often born of pain. Expressing it is like medicine; therapy; and not everyone might GET IT; but certainly most of us can "relate" to it.
I guess when we ask, "DO YOU like it" we HOPE others will; but the passion in creating should really be for a more selfish motive. Denying any passion; is to risk losing it, and I feel that a far more sad experience; than anyone NOT saying; "Yeah it's good"
Just some notes from an OLD Wolf. The message I guess, is to "KEEP AT IT", unless of course it was merely a band-aid, and it worked.
