When I did my first poem it took about 24 hours.

Good luck & good reviews.

Good luck & will keep an eye out for it!

thank you all for the encouragement. it's not hard core porn. i put it in the humor/satire catagory 'cause i'm a humorous kind of guy. and i don't know Miss T whether i'm a writer or not. let's see if they publish it before i start addin' that to my resume.

Yeah. Just remember to keep some perspective. Just because you have only gotten 50 views or whatever doesn't mean you suck. It may just mean you don't have a really catchy title. There are a lot of stories to read, and most people tend to take them one or two at a time.

thanks for the advice sillyman. i'll take it to heart. i always get a little up tight when i introduce a new song for the first time at the club. i tell myself that i write for my own enjoyment and if others don't like it that's their problem. not sure i totally believe myself.
