[Author’s Note: It’s wonderful to be a writer!]
It is wondrous
that we can write of impossible things
Like a cloud which twists
into a happy face to make your day
Or of birds
eager to wink at you as they sing of sunrises
Because we are writers
we can describe waterfalls able to flow backwards
or create characters who collect samples of rainbows
to use as material for the patchwork patterns on quilts
In only a matter of words
we can explore eternity
visit the farthest reaches of space
and transform into anything we wish
all on a single page

This is very good and though I am not much of a writer, I completely agree!
Have you ever thought about self publishing or submitting to an agent or even a magazine?

Thank you for the support! I would definitely like to self-publish some of my longer stories, and perhaps a few poetry collections. During college, I was able to get my work published in a few on-campus magazines, but I haven’t had as much luck yet when submitting my work to other magazines yet (although one of my pieces did get accepted in the San Diego Poetry Annual). Hopefully someday soon.

Self publishing won’t make you rich, but it will help to build up a portfolio.
It shows what you’re capable of and that you’re serious about it.
I have noticed that people take me a bit more serious at least.
So despite that it can be discouraging, I would still recommend it.
If you ever need help with it, let me know!
And of course, keep on trying with traditional publishing!

Awww, thank you so much for the offer. I will continue working hard and doing my best. It really does make a difference, though, to have so much support, and to be able to help each other as part of a community of writers.

Indeed. It’s wonderful to be able to do that.

Writing truly is a superpower–or maybe a universal blessing.

A mixture of both, I recon.
