Stock up on the jello and ramen noodles. Put down a word.

Delete and repeat. Don't give up. I mean, what else are you going to do? Spend half a day going through Facebook feeds, wondering how that meme about the drunk friends is really so funny it makes Janet from telemarketing cry, as the emoticon suggests? Being a writer can be a lonely business. Until the characters develop. Until the story evolves. Until our minds are so full of souls whom we've created we can barely move.

We stop craving the wilted celery and processed cheese spread and rejoice in the company or our characters. That's why we write.

Get a coffee mug, a pin, a desk mat that has printed on it the adage "A successful writer is just an amateur who didn't give up. That's what I've got for today. I would love to read your comments. Perhaps the biggest problem for poets trying to write a great poem is that the poet doesn't really know what poetry is.

How do you distinguish between writing a poem or writing a piece of flash fiction. One of the characteristics most significant in defining poetry is its inability to be defined.

But if we can't define it, how can we write it? What makes poetry different from prose literature can be found in its concise language. It uses a heightened, yet more economic vocabulary. Other characteristics of poetry are its use of literary devices such as meter, rhyme, repetition, alliteration, metaphor, simile, assonance, line and stanza breaks and formal structure.

Most importantly, every poem must have an emotional heart. Even within haiku and its observations of nature, the poet delivers an emotional experience through what she's witnessed. Perhaps intellectually you understand the fundamentals of what makes a poem a poem..

So, what is keeping you from writing great poetry? We know that doesn't happen for us, so we fear we are not true poets. Pay attention to the way words work together, or don't work together. It is not only important to read poets that speak to you, but also to read poets who you find out of reach or who challenge you.

These metaphors illustrate that writing is seldom a linear process with a known destination. Instead, it involves learning to love language—its tastes and shapes and sounds—and then to go wherever the writing leads.

Once you get to your destination, then go back and revisit the poem and think creatively about what it says and what you want it to say. Instead of expecting a "great" poem every time you write, write in a way that feels "raw and messy.

Every time we feel something, it has a tangible connection. Find that connection and work with it. The only significant truth in a poem is its emotional truth. It won't be great when you first throw it down. It will be like the clay on the potter's wheel--a shapeless mass of brown, wet, glop. Get that glop on the wheel. No one will see it but you!

Genius comes in the editing. In the revising, don't be afraid to throw away that first line that sparked the poem in the first place. Often that line isn't worthy of the poem, it's just the inspiration. Be your toughest critic.

Just as you would write without fear, you must edit without mercy. Bottom line: The best way to be confident as a poet and write a great poem is to: 1. Read poetry. Read lots and lots of poetry from a variety of poets. Not just today's poets either. Read yesterday's poets. You don't have to like all of it, but you do have to read it. Write poetry. Write lots and lots of poetry in a variety of forms. Copy the forms of today's poets.

Copy the forms of yesterday's poets. You don't have to like all the forms in which you write, but you do have to write them.

Always remember, you are not alone. All great writers have a fear of writing something great. It's persistence and an unrelenting desire to write that makes us successful. Rewrite, but it comes out wrong. Keep writing. Maybe all it needs is a slight tweaking to help it along. You say no, it needs more. You agree and say keep on writing. The Box Under the Bed I would love to read your feedback. Drop me a comment! Monday, January 5, She was driving, making up time on the Mass Pike.

She was chattering on about something. He tuned her out. Or he was at the wheel, laughing at her jokes, playing with the radio. The children were bickering in the back seat.

A boy, ten, and a girl, twelve. The son, possibly older, had an iPad, was playing video games. The younger daughter quietly watched a movie. So they bided their time singing medleys the way families did before satellite radio. Perhaps it was just the two of them, only wed a year. He had a few drinks before hitting the road. She told him not to drive.

He said he was fine. They were arguing when he changed lanes. He was yelling at her when he swerved. It was another driver, drunk, who clipped them while passing.

Sent their SUV off the road. She overcompensated, struck the guardrail. The SUV went airborne. And there were children, and they were screaming when it hit the ground, flipped again. Crashed and burst into flames. The children were trapped.

Parents unconscious. Pray there were no children. They were staying at their grandparents. It was conceivable the children were only a plan—for someday. Fireman put out the blaze. Pulled the man and woman from the vehicle.

Their clothes were smoldering. EMTs cut off their pants, pulled off their shoes. Laid their bodies on the median. No hurry putting them in the ambulance. A white sheet draped over their heads, down to their thighs. We drove past them on that Christmas day. I looked. Saw the burnt-out vehicle on its head. And the bodies on the ground. Dear God. What went wrong to stretch those bare white legs out onto the cold, dead earth?

Hello, friends. You've written a manuscript and now you want to sell it. You don't want to self-publish, as that requires too much money up front and an intensely difficult marketing campaign afterward. Publishing through the conventional avenues means getting a literary agent, as no major publishing house these days will accept unsolicited manuscripts. You've labored tirelessly over writing the perfect query, did your research online and through various Writer's Market volumes, and sent out your query to dozens, and for some, hundreds of agents.

Most responses come back as a rejection form letter. The rest don't bother to respond at all. Don't they want fresh new talent? Other people get agents, so you ask yourself, "What am I doing wrong? The problem: Agents receive hundreds of queries every day, and unless yours is so out-of-this-world fantastic in the very first line, they will likely throw it in the discard basket and tell their intern to send you a form rejection.

Some do take the time to read the whole query, but again, if it's not stellar, in the basket it goes. If you are exceptionally lucky, the agent will write you a short personalized note letting you know why your manuscript was rejected. That's a good thing, because then you can revisit the manuscript and make improvements. The bottom line, however, is you've been rejected.

What do you do? You get out from behind your desk and go meet the agent face to face. That does NOT mean you drive to the agent's office and walk in with your manuscript, plop it on her desk and ask her to take a look. Remember, that was fiction. This is reality. The best way for you to meet an agent is to check around your area for writers' conferences. Many areas hold writers' conferences that are within a reasonable driving distance from where you live.

See if those conferences offer a "meet-and-greet" segment with a literary agent. Some conferences charge a little more to take part in that. But some don't. If there is a conference that does offer such a segment that doesn't charge extra, sign up, follow the rules, and go. If there are only conferences that offer such a segment at an additional charge, I still recommend you go, but those have pros and cons.

The pros are you will get honest, priceless, professional feedback that will only improve your manuscript, and you may actually get interest from an agent. The cons are, some of these agents may not be as interested in picking up new talent as they are in getting paid to do the conference. Either way, the advantages are numerous.
