This article is inspired by an old book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, by Robert M. Pirsig.
Let me say from the outset, the notes below apply to me, most of all. wanting something to be, doesn't make it so, straight away.
Writing is often treated as production: word count, deadlines, output, performance. Zen offers a different frame. It does not ask, “How much have you written?” It asks, “How present were you while writing?”
To explore Zen and writing is not to adopt mysticism or...
If you've ever done B2B sales, a Literary Agent is basically a Buyer. And, like Buyers, Literary Agents are not monoliths. Some are personable, with well-developed senses of humor and engaging personalities - some are not.
Like Buyers, Literary Agents have "buying criteria" and "open-to-buys" that they must adhere to if they want to keep their jobs. "Open-to-buy" is simply a restriction on what agents can buy right now! They may have too many Romance novels at the moment, or a glut of Epic...

A lot of people will tell you they've read a book, when they haven't. This is particularly true for so-called Classic Literature. Maybe people feel guilty because they feel they were supposed to read those books? Or maybe they're just bored with your conversation?
Here's why I think reading the Classics is important: I learned all about the contrasts between good and evil from reading The Brothers Grimm, and Hans Christian Andersen. They also taught me about moral ambiguity. This knowledge...
What inspires you?
For me, it's simple ... art, music, literature, nature, people.
This is Pieter Bruegel The Elder's "The Triumph of Death" painted in 1562. Yes, even a depiction of the "end of all life on earth" can be inspirational. Sometimes, it's a butterfly.
POET, the first book of my Indrajala Trilogy, is done!
Copies are going out to readers and editors then, if I'm lucky, I'll score a good Literary Agent to promote and sell my book :)
I hate waiting.
By far, the single worst part of writing a book is AFTER you have completed the book.
First, you have to wait for a proof.
Then you have to wait for editors to do their thing.
Then you have to wait for friends and family to read the book. (Hint: sometimes this takes longer than actually writing the book)
Then you have to find a literary agent.
Then you have to wait for agents to reply to you - IF they reply to you.
Then you have to make changes based on the feedback of all the above...
each page we read
inside a book
another look
at poetry
and discord
each flaw that gnaws
at our subconscious
furtively
as if to hide
a right of
no more than
desperation
and mortality
encased in words
both beautiful
and trite
to die a sigh
that whispers to
the universe
as if our verse
significant
to stars
each page we read
another look
in hope the book
will somehow
this time
end its tale
much differently
Hi all.
I'm toying with the idea of this cover (or similar) for POET.
What do you think? Love it? Hate it? Don't care?
I'm not married to the cover, just getting a feel for it.
