On writing

vrflash, March 19, 2019March 19, 2019

Want to write good fiction or even poetry? Different and innovative would be a good start. Why write something that has already been written?

I can’t imagine my life without waiting for a reply from a publisher.

Got a rejection signed by Bonaparte (I kid you not). Napoleon® rejected BudMan®.

If you write, you are a writer. However, if you write well, you are a good writer. If you write well and make efforts to publish, you’re a published writer. If you don’t do anything, you are a failed writer.
