Are you reading my mind? What a great review this is. I feel certain 95% of Fanstory writers would endorse your comment here. We are all here to learn and become better writers and that can only happen when we receive honest feedback. Criticism brings about improvement and that improvement makes us better writers.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm not telling you anything about anything I have submitted then... (LOL!)
This is wonderful! I loved every word (except these last ones -- "I will never speak to you again."

was only kidding. I have a few things published. Just being silly.
However, many thanks for the 6!!! That is much appreciated, as is your fun reaction!!! :)

Of course, you do. I would be very surprised if you had not published, and I know you would speak to me. *grin*

Comment from gramalot8
Lol. Great humorous take on all the ways to write and be creative. I have written stories but am more comfortable with writing poetry. I've never won a contest for money on FanStory but have fortunately been lucky enough to win several other prompts. And it felt good! Lol. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I love that! What a fabulous poem about writers, and I laughed at the last line, LOL. But you have put it down just the way we are. It's a shame there wasn't a contest to put it in. Well done, thoroughly enjoyed your poem. :))Sandra xx

Comment from Navada
I enjoyed the fun and upbeat style of this poem. The metre is terrific and the lively voice is so much fun! I'm sure many others here at FanStory can relate to this, whether they are published or not. Thanks for the share.

Thank you so much. One member was a bit miffed because she has 8 books published. Was just kidding. I've been lucky to have a few things out there, myself.
Thanks again for your lovely comments!

Comment from T B Botts
Hello Katharine,
what a delightful poem! You're right, we have to write, even when we think we don't want to. I've had to get up out of bed on more than one occasion to come down to the computer and input an idea before it was lost to me. There have been other times when I should have gotten out of bed and didn't and then regretted it. As someone who is the proud owner of you published book and as a reader of your work on Fan Story, I'm totally convinced that you are a writer in every sense of the word. Well done gal. P.S. Happy belated birthday gal!
Blessings,
Tom

Tom, you are he sweetest! Thank you! That is the neatest thing you could possibly say. You spur me on!
As to birthdays, they're coming too fast these days! ugh! But thanks for the birthday wish!
How do you like the time change? Am trying to get to bed earlier because I sure wake up earlier.
-
Hi Katharine,
I hate the time change. Here in Alaska, this time of year it gets dark early anyway, and now it's an hour earlier. We won't really start seeing it get lighter until about February, so that's a long time off. Lots of darkness between now and then. Unfortunately, I don't see so well in the dark anymore, so I try to get everything done in the daylight. I end up falling asleep in front of the TV lots of times. With so much darkness, the night seems to last forever. I still don't go to bed early. When I do go to bed, I stay up and read most nights.
I know about the birthdays gal, but what do you do? I guess we should be glad we're still on top of the dirt.
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is a well-written and fun poem that makes many good points about writing. It is also true that you may not get published, but writing is still good for you. Do editors ever contact FS writers? That would be cool.

Not unless the writer submits to them. I don't think editors ever contact anybody first. I just meant after the writer had submitted something to the editor of whatever, and the editor contacted her/him and accepted it.
Thanks, Carol, for reading and commenting so nicely!!
Comment from karenina
I bet all who read this will instantly smile! I so totally related to each line...
Very nice reminder that, in the end, everything we "create" is of value...contest win or publishers be "darned!"
Great ending...I know you're kidding because you are always so encouraging!

Comment from judiverse
I love the humor in this, as well as your creative words. You really capture the feelings of the writer. I like your thought that even if you don't get published you've created something, and that's always a source of satisfaction. Fun touch with the sour grapes toward an author who's attracted the attention of a publisher. Fun rhyme throughout. It's a 6 on the enjoyable scale. judi
