Can you write? Page 2

BY had do you mean desperately nobody would notice

"Mummy yummy bummy," and "Grannys magic fanny" were the works of a far older and more desperate author

We were worried the kids involved wouldn't do any so I was back-up! As it was, they did do some. Mine were much better, though. In your face, kids!

I write poems. Not all of the time but I've probably got 30 or so decentish ones.

Okay I was wrong. I just dug them out and I have about 5 good ones, and a whole load more terrible terrible emo crap.

I like poetry because it's quicker. I can just sketch down a few lines and then sort them out later.

Yes I write poetry for much the same reason I write sketches. A lack of stamina.

Unless you're Byron writing Don Juan, of course.

I started off writing prose at first but then got waylaid into scripts and sketches before a strange series of events brought me back to prose again.

I've written one book and have just (today funnily enough) finished a second draft of a novel.

Impressive.

Yep, I like Byron, but that was a test of stamina even to read.

I've not read the whole thing. I'd quite like to, but I dunno if I'd manage.

I don't understand poetry, which is a bit of a crime. I only get poems that use simple rhyme.
