Moonshine

I found this quote and it defines my methodology when it comes to poetry writing:

“A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses.” John Cocteau

Read my latest poem Moonshine at the link below:

What method do you take when writing, does something inspire you? Get you in the mood? 

Let me know what you think.

My confusing week

I promised I would use this blog to keep you up to date with what I am doing. Well this week has been a strange week in the world of Writeitfeelit. 

Well I have produced another video blog Commitment which you can find on my YouTube page which was going smoothly with great feedback until a follower decided to just read the thumbnail instead of watching the video. You probably thinking where is the problem, the video contained inspiration tips on how to use newspapers for poetry and stories and an example I had made.

I thinking that people would read the bold newspaper heading which was the poem and not the bit I hadn’t cut out properly (won’t be making this mistake again) this person took the part they had read out of context and posted a comment. I lulled over it and left it until someone else said that they thought what I had initially thought but dismissed. I removed the comment and let it go.

I thought this was the end until the next day someone had posted my Vlog on their internet newspaper with the comment as the title. (now you can hear me cringing possibly crying) I said to the person who was a twitter follower at the time that the information was wrong, they replied you must have spelt something wrong and they we not in charge of the content. (Yeah then I was lost) I asked who was in charge and I got no reply and was unfollowed. Yes I unfollowed back after Re Tweeting the letter which subsequently diverted any clicks on the link to my blog and I deleted the Vlog from my poetry site. Would you like to play spot the poor cutting out go and see it on my Youtube account and please watch to the end if you going to waste your time clicking.

So this was my first bitter experiences as a writer which has knocked my confidence. However I have posted a new poem yeah I hear you say, here is the link http://writeitfeelit.wordpress.com

 Have any of you had an experience that has left you deflated and not wanting to write? How did you overcome this?

Have you been misquoted? Let me know I would love to here.

Thanks for reading or half reading ( yeah going to be bitter for a while)

Just a thought

“A poet can survive anything but a misprint” Oscar Wilde 

I found this quote today while doing some research for another project, I am not sure of the context of which this quote was meant. However my interpretation of this may be different, I can fully survive a typo or a misinterpretation of what people think I mean. This is the beauty of being a writer but what happens if they get your name wrong.

Will this mean that the other name and person credited get the ‘glory’? Does the work know belong to them, how do you feel about this?

I have published a new poem take a look her http://writeitfeelit.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/blowing-in-the-wind/ 

Thank you
