Question: How does one become a Writer/Poet!?
A storyteller,Poet,Songwriter, Etc!.
I just think people who have this gift of saying things in an
amazing way are incredible !
What William Blake once said : " a robin redbreast in a cage puts all the heavens in a rage", that is just
brilliant and he was obviously a very talented writer!.
I want to be one when I grow up and it depresses me knowing that I'm not doing something creative right now!.
Can someone help me please !?
I am dying to learn how to write like a genius writer!.
I would like my writing to have that "john lennon, Across
the universe" feel" or when Jeff Tweedy wrote "She's a jar"!.
I'm dying to learn so can someone please help me get
there !?
It would mean everything in the world to me!.
I don't want to sleep or eat, I just want to write beautiful things like W!.B!. Yeats or Sylvia Plath(I am aware of these people, but don't have the time to read books)!.
Is anyone Wanting to carry that art form to the next generation !?Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
What last times we have on this earth are sacred, your writing no matter what it be is as special as the day you were born!. Write to anyone and everyone!. Tell them how you saw the clearest of days one sunday morning or that a train rolled by with a letter missing!. Anything you leave behind is genius so take the chance now to write everything you want for life is short and we do not have much time!. If you feel you need more expression in your work, take drama classes, read more novels!. Anything that influences you to be inspired is as great as any poet known to man kind!. I wish you all your happiness with your relationship between a pen and paper!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Yes, you do have time to read!. Read and read and read!. The more you expose yourself to the best writing that other artists have produced, the better you'll prepare yourself to create your own best works of prose or poetry!. also, take time to eat and sleep!. Creative geniuses live in physical bodies like everybody else and have a responsibility to care for the bodies they inhabit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Well!.!.!.!.!. Old Chaucer was arguably the greatest poet in the English language!. He called poetry, "The craft long to learn!."
Chaucer used a LOT of rewriting and editing!. I think the genius might be in the edit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
