don't do it!!??...

(*unless...)


“So you want to be a writer blipper

if it doesn’t come bursting out of you
in spite of everything,
don’t do it.

unless it comes unasked out of your
heart and your mind and your mouth
and your gut,

if it’s hard work just thinking about doing it,
don’t do it.

if you’re trying to write  blip like somebody
else,
forget about it.

if you have to wait for it to roar out of
you,
then wait patiently.
if it never does roar out of you,
do something else.


don’t be like so many writers blippers,
don’t be like so many thousands of
people who call themselves writers blippers,
don’t be dull and boring and
pretentious, don’t be consumed with self-
love.
the libraries of the world have
yawned themselves to
sleep
over your kind.
don’t add to that.
don’t do it.


*unless the sun inside you is
burning your gut,
don’t do it.

when it is truly time,
and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by
itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.

there is no other way.

and there never was.”
Charles Bukowski






(being addicted as many say, is not enough!!...conclusion?...I shouldn't have done it!???...oops!!!)
