So, you want to be a writer...

So, you want to be a writer?

Charles Bukowski wrote a poem in 1889 with the same title.
This is my version.

Find your niche.
Don’t find your niche.
Write quotidian.
Enjambement.

Choose your time to write.
Just do it.
Just write.
Be inspired.

Find out what’s happening.
In the world?
In the everyday?
And write about it.

Fingers on keyboards.
Pen to paper.
Write. Write. Write.
It’s all that matters!

When you write, have fun.
Or don’t do it.
Offer a different route
Find content in your daily life.

Speak up for the silent ones.
Tell your story in your own way
Share initiatives.
Embrace freedom of speech.

What is your model of hope?
What keeps you going?
Keeps you sane?
This is mine.

It begins with dialogue.
Challenging the status quo.
No, not the pop group.
The whole goddam set-up.

The internet is a theatre.
Surfers your audience.
Write with intent.
Intent to do what…?

What would your Mastermind topic be?
Go on, what would it be?
Is there a point to this?
No idea, only you can decide.

Be the little blue duck amongst all the yellows.
Create something unique
Don’t follow the crowd.
Do something different.
