As I hit that publish button last week for the first time as an indie author, I felt so many emotions, it was hard to contain myself. Now granted, I know I am an emotional person to begin with, but as I went through the stages of writing my first self-published book, it dawned on me that writing is quite a tumultuous affair, very much like falling in love.
Instead of just simply blogging about it, I wrote a poem. I will admit, poetry does not come as easily to me as prose. But somehow, the emotive qualities of the poem felt right this time. I hope you won't judge me too harshly. Whether THORNE: Rose's Dark Contract is a success or not remains to be seen. Regardless, I am enjoying the ride, even if I can't quite catch my breath at times. I welcome your feedback, friends!

RB - You may not think that you are a poet, but I disagree. That was beautiful, and full of all the feelings, emotions, thoughts, that we all experience when falling in love.

I'm in awe. You feel things so passionately. I believe this is what makes you writing good too. I'm beginning to wonder when you ever breathe. You are definately a poet girl!

Au contraire, my friend. You perfectly captured the essence of what it's like to dip one's toe into the abyss of creativity. If that's not poetry, what is? As to success, I'm reminded of writer/philosopher Elbert Hubbard's take on it. "He has achieved success who has worked well, laughed often, and loved much." In addition to a brilliant writing career, these are things I wish for you.

This is beautiful! I love how you captured the essence of what it is to put our own work out there into the cold, cruel world. :)

Wow, that was really great. I definitely could not have written it, and that makes it awesome in my mind! :)
