Morning all!
Hope the weekend is treating you well.
I came across this quote today which mirrors a feeling I’ve had since I first began sharing my work and engaging with other writers 15 years ago-
“People wish to be poets more than they wish to write poetry, and that’s a mistake. One should wish to celebrate more than one wishes to be celebrated.”
There does seem to be a drive for recognition and validation with many writers today that often has a negative impact on the sincerity and quality of their work- or at least that has my experience to date.
What do you think?
