What a well penned poem about the life of a writer. Here on FanStory, we can be lulled into a false sense of reality -- we are writers with a following. But, alas, the world is just as cold as the dames you described.
Thank you for sharing this piece that pokes fun of our egos -- it made me laugh.

O my goodness I couldn't stop laughing!
It's funny, crazy and irreverent, like a good roast should be. Maybe you should have been 'mallow, a bag full.' Haaaaahaa. I tried to hear the spoken version of this in my imagination.
Totally loved it!

Too cute. I think you hit the mark on everyone you roasted, or at least sort of because I don't want anyone mad at me...ghoulish or otherwise. In the end, I'm pretty sure you did what you said, and roasted yourself.
Wonderful job,
Rhonda

Well... "Mikey" I thought this contest was supposed to be our big chance to roast someone else... someone we admire or perhaps adore? You've roasted admirable and adorable Michaelcahill! I don't quite know what to make of this. Does this mean you don't believe any of the things you said? Actually, you are quite talented and have that coveted ability to be very funny too. This is amusing and certainly entertaining, well presented and fun to read. I enjoyed it very much and think you have a great gift for self-deprecating humor. That's the best kind, in my opinion. And if you admire and adore yourself, that's okay too. (I don't believe that's the case, but I had to get in on the act somehow, since I didn't enter the contest.) *smile* I wish you luck. This is a fun contest and I'm enjoying reading the entries.

I compare you not to Shakespeare, but more of a John Donne before he got all religious. Nice of you to roast yourself! We are our worst critics! ~ April

I hope you do well with this... as you usually do, boo hoo. ;-)
wonderful contest that I just discovered... great fun

Toasting your Friends is the trend
Roasting your enemies to the very end
Showing your warm heart to some
Your cutting words leave others numb.

Good luck in your contest, Sir Michael of York.

This was a powerful poem, yet you kept it light and humorous. I was unsure where you were going at first, but by the end you summed up your story very nicely. My favorite line was, "They don't just reject me, the stalk me and hex me." This was a powerful statement of how strong rejection can be and the baggage that comes with it. Keep writing and stick with it. Practice makes perfect!
