A Few Thoughts On Writing Poetry
Posted by admin on October 8, 2008
Writing poetry is one of those activities that is so deeply personal that more often than not nobody really knows about our passion for poetry until we manage to overcome some of our deepest personal fears.
The beauty of the experience of receiving your first negative criticism is that although the process is painful it is also thoroughly cathartic and wonderful. Each step along the road provides another growht opportunity and another insight into self.
If you are a poet or a writer of any calibre, I encourage you to take the plunge and publish your work. These days getting your work in front of people is relatively easy. If you don’t wish to trouble yourself about making a blog, or running a web site, I would be happy to host your work here. Just check out the submissions page and off we go.
I try not to think of Darnuth Keep as a magazine so much as a collaborative online experience where readers and writers can enjoy the experience of sharing.

I agree with all of the points you make. I personally take rejection letters as a challenge – when my ego doesn’t get in the way.

Getting past rejection letters is easily one of the most difficult things to learn. It can be looked at as a wall or as an opportunity to grow.
