Dear Alcreator, I notice that you have employed a fine device for using less punctuation, the paragraph break.
In fact, the few times you did not use it, I wondered if it was intentional or just a typo.
You are quite correct, if you describe the truth in humility and true appreciation, you will never go wrong.

All very great advice for new writers and also for those who've been at it for awhile. I think what you are trying to say in a nutshell is that its important above all, to be true to yourself. Thanks for sharing this important piece.

Nice job! I especially loved the lines "Use God's gifts rightly, righteously, freely, naturally for ever" and "Write a simple, soft, symphonic word - Utter everything free of a hard, harsh, obsolete word." This is one that I'll enjoy rereading several times.

I liked this poem a lot. It is full of excellent advice and all of it expressed clearly and honestly... just as you suggest good writing should be. I think my favorite lines are these:
"Write a simple, soft, symphonic word
Utter everything free of a hard, harsh, obsolete word"
There is something so beautiful about a "simple, soft, symphonic word." Thank you so much for sharing this with us. MM

I like your "recipe" for writing... Mine may be different but I do believe in not filtering my words in order to try to be someone I am not. Emily Dickinson had two or three poems published her entire life--she was unconventional and did not adhere to poetic form of the time. If not for her sister, Lavinia, who gathered Emily's poems where they were jotted down on backs of envelopes or grocery lists or bits of paper here and there we'd all be deprived of her genius, her bravery in saying "I'm nobody, who are you?"---We each have our own bottle of ink in our poet veins....we must allow it to spill like a Rorscharch Test! --Karenina

The couplets work well together and then as a whole. I like the ones that use the alliteration I think that works well, especially in the second stanza.

Note to Self?

Hello my friend
You make your point efficiently. Try to be neutral and fair when you write. Well done. It was very interesting.

What a lovely presentation - the image you chose is so charming and a reminder of how people used to write their words.
I enjoyed reading this, writing is a good way of expressing oneself. I like the way you CYA in the notes. One never knows what criticisms people will have when they don't understand a writing. Hugs, Lou

I am glad I read it through. A very lovely writeup on writing. Writing is a good way of expressing one's self and kind, no matter what the situation may be. Sometimes I rather write than talk to someone.

Your poem contains much writing tips. How to write and how to decide what to write. When, where, and why to write. Expressing oneself by using good descriptive words. You gave a lot for a writer to think about! Thanks for sharing!
