Description Once I happened upon a callow young lass,
Who apparently thought that it was cool to be crass.
And she turned her tongue upon the profession of writing;
Apparently she felt that it was in need of a smiting.

Though her raving and ranting made very little sense,
She seemed to be taking a rather harsh stance.
Apparently her pain was too great to be understood,
Far beyond the comprehension of this man from the hood.

So I stood there in swagger, clad in my bling.
While she behaved like 'Moon-Moon', in search of a thing.
She spouted some nonsense, some far fetched line,
About never idolizing the keen writer's mind...

...Aaaaaalrighty then,

If that is the case, then why ape my technique?
Why submit to several galleries; is your brain on the leak?
You are writing to be seen; you seek attention as I do,
What are we if not performers, is that not true?

Did you believe that you could use your past as a shield?
It counts, I'm afraid, for nothing, I feel;
For you see, I'm a killer, as bold as I dare,
I care not if you scream or if you tear out your hair.

And if you are offended, I'm sorry I swear.
I was under the impression that your soul was bare...

...Now if you please my dear, it's quiet time I beg,
Or should I quoteth the Griffon and say, "Shut up Meg."

I'm very glad that you enjoy my works and yes I keep my rage very well under control...though if I were to let it loose I might just be a berserker from the old days. In fact I might even write a poem soon describing the feeling of entering into that state. It can be shocking the first few times.


As for the link, I cannot post it openly because then I would be directly slapping the individual which is not my intention. If you really do want to find the poem you can note me and I'll privately show it to you, but I cannot display anything in public.

In many ways writing is an escape for me. I consciously and subconsciously put my characters through things or do things to my characters that have happened to me or people I am close too.Β  It's a way for me to express my feelings and other things when I don't have any other way doing so. I am very deeply attached to many of my characters and I dig myself very deeply in their stories, especially my main one which I have had ever since I was around 10, although it has had many changes.Β  I have cried many times thinking about this story and writing it. It has helped cheer me up when no one else could.

So, I absolutely love your pieces and this one is no exception and I think it speaks well for many of us writers out there.

I can definitely relate to that. I always roleplay my characters in front of a mirror to get a better idea of how they react and such ^^


Thank you kindly for enjoying my works :3

Writing is evil? The stupidy of this statement is beyond me, I just can't understand something like that. Everything from science to entertainment has writing in it, it's everywhere, it's something without we human beings wouldn't be able to record our achievements and failures to hand-over to the next generation, so they might learn from our mistakes and apply our achievements to their benefits.Β 


Writing is a form of art, no doubt about it. It's a different tool to express, some choose visuals, some letters and again others go forth expressing their thoughts through music.Β 


I nice poem in that regard, my compliments, I truly enjoyed myself reading it.Β

I'm glad you did my friend, for me writing is simply my therapy and I'm glad for it. Most likely my entire family would suffer more without it x'3.


The person didn't exactly say that writing is evil, they were merely using the quote: "Never be a writer" and gave a whole bunch of reasons and acted in a hypocritical manner by copying my exposure technique. That I felt was a tad dishonourable haha xD.

Pardon my literature but Great Gatsby! Β How can one compare writing to that? Β And say that writing is "evil" (for the lack of a better term) by writing is just an extended oxymoron. Β Without writing, we'd never be the way we are today. Β Look at the Declaration of Independence in America, or The Magna Carta in Britain! Β Those were all written, my friends, written!


But on a completely different note, wonderfully satiric and comical as always. Β True genius (wot wot) and all that.


Keep up the good work! Β No matter what some dipp-a-wad said! Β Tatty-bye!

WordOfChen In reply to Blindstar97 [2013-07-25 02:42:30 +0000 UTC]

Well, just to clarify (cause I can anal about that occasionally x'3) the person never said that writing was evil. They merely said we should not idolize writers (in a particular context that I cannot describe without revealing the poem in question) and that their work was based on the quote "never be a writer".Β 


To me, I simply felt that this was something very wrong, because being a writer means choosing a profession where you are accepting the 99% failure. Not so you can be the 1% in the category of the Rowling and the twilight author etc., but so that you can create your own world, your own fantasy and your own story.


Not many are willing to walk that path anymore since that way lies poverty, many years of thankless works and hundreds of rejections

True. Β I couldn't come up with the word at the time, but I think I was looking for something in-between "pointless" and "stupid" rather than "evil". Β But what you say is true. Β Well done, good sir! *insert virtual clap here*

Love this. It made me laugh on a day when i needed much laughter and i totally get where you're coming from when you use writing as a "vent" if you will (i read the whole description). I do the same, but because my grandparents just flew in from out of state, and i rarely get to see them, my parents consider it rude to whip out my laptop to put my feelings into words (i'm typing this on my phone so please pardon any mistakes). But yeah, i get what you're saying in your description and can totally relate. (Long unnecessary comment? Check!) .3.
