Why talk to me about good or bad writers I'm sure those paid to judge on such do have their say <br />And some say with some foundation literary critics themselves are not good writers anyway <br />Every writer started to write as an amateur and some through their writing prosper financially <br />Good luck to them I say and may they prosper and may their names live on in literary history <br />Not everyone can become a wealthy and a famous writer many from publishers keep getting rejection letters in their mail <br />In the literary trade like most things that we know of for one to succeed many have to fail <br />Why dismiss those not known to be successful when to their eternal credit they did try <br />Why is success looked on as all important to so many one has to wonder why <br />As for myself I'm looked on as a failure but I live fairly happy just the same <br />I only write because I do like writing I never crave for money or for fame <br />I am not paid for to judge another writer judge not and thou shalt not be judged too does apply to me <br />What's good to me may not seem good to your eyes we all do look at things quite differently <br />So why talk to me of good and of bad writers since literary critics for such do get paid <br />I only know without amateur writers that there would not be any wordsmith trade.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-talk-to-me-about-good-or-bad-writers/
