Excellent Poem about writing a book. Oh, you are...are you? by Sharon Combs Oh, you are... are you? writing prompt entry

You are, are you? You are writing a book,  or so you thought Ninety thousand words, then bam, it's bought You are aware there are guidelines and rules to follow, outlines and drafts, so much it makes me want to holler!   You are still sane after you get the first feedback However, it's the revisions that bring on my Zantacs Revise and develop each section at a time What was I thinking? Was I losing my mind?   You are writing a book, or so you say Maybe you should have thought this thing out Did you ask about the pay? Regardless, you're too deep in, so there's no need to pout.   In reality, yes, I am writing a book. And  I am in deep, I admit I am hooked. Some tried to tell me to keep my job, just in case. However,  I'm blessed to be retired, and out of that race.    Writing Prompt Write a humorous free verse or free style poem about YOU, as though you are talking to yourself!
