The truth can hurt <br /> <br />Some writers write infrequently <br /> and others write prolifically. <br />What matters is the quality <br />much more so than the quantity. <br /> <br />Good writers by their words display <br /> their thoughts in a coherent way <br />Describing things they have observed <br />and garner praise that’s well deserved. <br /> <br />But some think anything will do <br /> and they pay no attention to <br /> the rules successful writers use <br />they will not learn: point blank refuse <br /> <br /> to accept well meant critique. <br />They much prefer dishonest praise <br /> from so called friends afraid <br /> to speak the simple truth lest they dismay <br /> <br />their friend by speaking honestly. <br />So naturally they take offence <br />when other people criticise <br /> that which seems perfect in their eyes. <br /> <br />True writers take this in their stride <br />they know their work is not perfect. <br /> But what they know is they have tried <br />and that is all you can expect. <br /> <br />New writers lack experience <br /> but everyone must start some where. <br />The wise ones do not take offence <br />when other people show they care <br /> <br /> enough to offer some advice. <br />Because they can remember when <br /> they too were just a new novice <br />to painting pictures with their pen. <br />27 feb 08<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-truth-can-hurt/
