FEB 5: (how can it be feb5 already)
so i finished my draft and sent it off to james and casey
now that ive done it im getting all possessive but i got
to give them a shot, i got to provide for family
but the big problem will be voice, my stylee so uniquely
mine and they dont want to just copy me, anyway this
what i told them:
---------------
So im thinking about the problem of voice
reason my work has power is I have a
unique voice / style
but making my voice work been a daily struggle
with the word and learning my Craft to point
it looks easy but as you shall soon see it is not
okay so as you see im going for a type of spiritual poetry
I want to roll like rumi and other sufi wisdom poets
so I have no idea how this weave is gon work
and how three voices will blend
you don’t just want to copy me
but its inevitable my style will influence
your riffs cause they riffs
I suggest just try to be sincere
that is the key to voice, don’t try to be DEEP
or anything else
Just be SINCERE
what do you have to say to humanity
and all the generations that will help
them live better more rewarding lives
SINCERITY
and SIGNIFICANCE
as in ESSENTIAL
also I am a minimalist, going for poetry
say what you got to say
don’t be throwing a lot of words at it
got to trust that you have communicated
and that your readership is a sophisticated readership
a lot of explaining will just irritated your super readers
in literary circles if you know what
you got to say it takes fewer words
a bunch of words just insecurity
reason I break / space my lines is to enhance
readers ability to digest my work
------------------
okay i got to go, every word i generate
here is one that i didnt put in a book,
i gotta go, be safe
