Advice to Novice Writers

Here is Kobie, the Laptop Cat. 

He likes to inspire me with my writing 

though he does make it hard to type sometimes!

For Wednesday's Write Tribe prompt, I have written a poem chock full of advice for novice writers. Then again, what do I know? Only Kobie knows and he's not telling!

Are you a planner or a pantser like me?

Do you know ahead of time or do you wait and see?

I like to wing it and see where it goes

I just love it when the writing flows,

Neither way is right or wrong

Like singing off key to your favourite song,

What matters is you enjoy what you do

You must always stay true to you,

Have you got writing books galore? (I sure do!)

You sure don’t need to buy any more,

All you need to do is write

From early morning til late at night,

Practice, practice is the key

You must let those words go free,

Dig deep and connect with your inner self

Put those books back on the shelf,

Remember you need to edit, too

Your writing will sparkle if you do,

Grammar and spelling must be sublime

Don’t make readers waste their time,

Writing style cannot be taught

Writing style cannot be bought

Writing style is unique like your voice

Find it and your muse will rejoice

Writers break rules all the time

Some even write in corny rhyme!

Write from the heart and write for you

Hopefully others will like it, too!
