This a very thorough and comprehensive set of guidelines articulated in an enjoyable and palatable way. Well Done. I have only been a member for about a month and find the variety of approaches very stimulating.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hello, an interesting list of couplets written to yourself but useful to the reader. The only thing I would question - 'Publish nothing for self-satisfaction' - I feel that it is important to be satisfied with one's work otherwise we would not feel it worthy of anyone reading it. I like your alliteration in ' simple, soft, symphonic word'. Much thought went in to the writing of your work - thanks for posting - regards Dorothy

Thank you for your review.
It is good that you have raised a question, your question is valid, but it is incomplete, as you know, it is common sense, so you have missed reading the entire lines, where I have already mentioned the word 'ONLY' at the end of the line, I mean, ONLY self-satisfaction is not worthy by ignoring the worth of giving satisfaction to the readers, I copy my lines hereinbelow, for reference, you have not taken note of the lines, and raised the question partially (partially you are right), as you have misunderstood the points or lines or words:wholly, entirely, fully or in full.
Copy of my lines:
Publish nothing for self-satisfaction, self-joy, self-knowledge, or self-pride only
Spell to educate, inspire and influence general, average or special readers
As you would find, it is explicitly, clearly, expressively mentioned, for I too understand, without self-satisfaction no one will write anything, but it should not be the ONLY concern, and if, the writer will not offer any scope or chance for having or giving satisfaction to the readers, because writer's self-satisfaction may not be the same to the readers, that means, writing should give satisfaction to the readers also, rather readers' satisfaction is not unworthy or unimportant or not anything that a writer should ignore.
I do not write this for pleading my work, I explain my point because I find you have raised the question redundant.
I hope I have clarified the point and mentioned your raising question is redundant since I mentioned the point clearly.
Please never mind, it happens, many people sometime comment partially or incompletely or not fully or expressively.
Purpose of my work is to encourage writers to write anything expressively, completely, fully, or in full as far as possible.
Thanking you once again for raising a question,
Wishing you every success in your chosen goal,
With the best regards,
Alcreator Litt Dear
PS: Please do not make it an issue, please do not take the matter so personally and never feel hurt, I mention, from this end, the matter is closed, and I never mind for the words you have offered, as a reviewer (re-viewer) I do not play the role of a teacher, mentor or adviser as I do not like to re-view or offer suggestion partially, and I dare not plead my own work, I have mentioned the truth and with this I conclude

Definitely - just write - don't stop and self-analyze I think. Fanstory has done this for me - helped me write fast and simply write out my thoughts. I appreciate that.
good job.

Hello Alcreator,
I came upon this post in the, "Up Next" section. Your title of, "Note to Self" caught my attention and I decided to take a look and read your post. I'm not sure I understand what you are saying in your poem, but I do like the idea of jotting down notes to remind and encourage myself to read and write every day if possible.

You have some good advice to writers here in this soliloquy of yours. I particularly liked the phrasing and the intention of "a simple, soft, symphonic word".

Funny you should say that, GOD first, as I am too a scribe, my first love of all is the LORD GOD. The WORD of GOD is an compelling force and a guiding light for all who thirst and hunger to hear more. Blessed is the Testimony of Christ Jesus, because without His life, my life would be a complete horror. Aleichem Shalom. Blessings

All of this is true, but most of all, you should always write for yourself. The writer gains the most from his effort. That's how it should be. Good writing is judged not by how it changes others, but how it changes you.
