Castration of the muse (Tanka)
by Rebecca Lerwill
Tuesday, January 06, 2009
Rated "PG" by the Author.

Maybe a little cynical - but sometimes that's what publishing a book feels like.


 

creativity
muses mind-set’s broken thoughts
clipped and castrated
as the journey continues
down the publicity road

start the year with romance

Everybody has a few castrated thoughts singing falsetto.

God gave me my simple gift of writing easy to read poems. I never could think about being a writer, that is a higher gift from God when you know how to create a story and all the people that you must put words in their mouths and captivate the reader is beyond my simple mind. Purification of a novel is I guess the price one pays when they embark on this journey prior to publication. It certainly can distress the author to see his/her work man handled by some one who did not know what you were thinking when you wrote what he has dismembered. Hang in there.

Reviewed by Felix Perry 1/6/2009
yes I can empahzize with this write so easily, to have an editor slash and cut words, lines and sometimes even whole paragraphs feels like major surgery to a project you pour body and soul into for months sometimes years.

Hang in there though,

Ouch. Pain in these lines - I know. Why is publishing so damn hard?!? It should be this way. Well done, Rebecca.
