Wow, If I had read this before attempting to write I am not sure I would have...LOL. It is quite the set of rules. Thank goodness for self expression, which you have done an excellent job of presenting. Great work! I love it!

Tell a story truly, simply, realistically or truthfully
Believe, Omniscient God knows and reads all your writing lovingly, keenly and justifiably - I think if God have given a talent you need to share it with others. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writingd.

It took me a long time to realize one did not have to use so much punctuation when writing poetry. I am thankful for that freedom, for sure. You are so right. One should not write for one's self, rather we need to write for others. Thanks for sharing.

I don't know Daniel,
Thankfully you have titled this "Note to Self?" Because if I had to adhere to all those rules and laws, I would not bother to write at all. Good for you that you used so many words that put together mean something to you.
It is far from simplistic...which somewhere in all those words you stated...or am I mistaken?
"Publish nothing for self-satisfaction, self-joy, self-pleasure, self-entertainment, self-like, or self-pride only
Spell to educate, inspire, teach, motivate and influence readers the truths simply and truly"
Ok...And this: "Write a simple, soft, symphonic, complete, common word
Utter everything free of a hard, harsh, obsolete, or archaic word"
Too many rules for me. Half the time I bypass my mind and simply write what my soul/spirit wants to express without trying to impress anyone.
Thanks for sharing your self notes - I appreciate your offering, but I can't say I agree with them all.

Comment from Joan A.
This poem is truly an education within itself-the balancing act of writing is captured here precisely and with judicious command. It explores much of what I contemplate when writing. Trying to find the perfect words to relay a feeling:
"Write a simple, soft, symphonic, complete, common word
Utter everything free of a hard, harsh, obsolete, or archaic word"
This really struck home for me and I appreciate your spelling it out...a writer's anguish of using the exact word needed can be overwhelming and your words here beautifully encapsulate that.
I am so impressed with this writing and will actually refer to its sage advice. Brilliant.

What a profound, intellectual, introspective analysis of what writing is all about, or at least should be all about. As you say, write as though you are writing to almighty God. Excellent!

This is a heart-felt description of an artistic poet's mindset, perspective and motivation. This speaks well of you, my friend and shows great intelligence and an extraordinary perspective glimpse that may be hard for many to fully appreciate. Like myself, you are outside the box of normal and mundane scribblings! LOL> I love that. Well done. Bruce.

While I can appreciate your writing advice, I find that too often you write repetitious layers. I think that good writing does not have to play with words or be "clever". Brevity and simplicity are certainly not present as you recommended in the last two stanzas.
