An excellent entry for the contest and a fun one. Obviously your system works as you have produced a super rhyming poem. Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

Comment from Rachelle Allen
OMG!!! This is absolutely priceless!! I couldn't love it more! I think you're right: your talent is more than plenty. You keep going strong, Mystery Writer! You WILL be on TV in no time!! Good luck (step one) in this contest!!!
PS: My favorite stanza:
On research I won't waste my time.
Who cares about the past?
I'll make the facts up as I write,
From first word to the last.

Having just had my debut novel accepted and offered publishing contracts from 3 reputable houses I hear you.
Great poem. I love the tongue-in-cheek nature of it. Let us read your novel sometime too. Jacqueline xx

Thank you, Jacqueline, for a great review. Congratulations. How wonderful to have offers from 3 reputable houses. I'm sure you did everything just as I had planned to! Actually, I have self published 12 books of poetry that are on Amazon.

Unfortunately this was a blind contest so I don't know who you are. Happy to support a fellow author. PM your pen name. I am JT Traveller on this site. Jacqueline xx

I don't think I answered your question! I use my pen name one FanStory--Verna Cole Mitchell. Let me know when your book comes out!

I really enjoyed your poem. I laughed all the way through it as I think many of us want to believe we have Tolstoy's abilities hidden deep inside. The next great novelist! Truly a delightful poem.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Well I think you sound as if you've been writing for years! You have a good rhythm, meter and rhyme coupled with fun verse content which tells an engaging story. Also, I see alliteration there. So no modesty and good luck in the contest! Debbie

Comment from w.j.debi
I love the satire in this. Yes, go ahead and write the epic that will make you famous without any preparation. It's sort of like cutting down a tree without a saw or an axe. It might be possible. Hmm.
This is well written. Best of luck in the voting.
