So you want to be a writer? [Charles Bukowski]
<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– poster by wemakeapair.com<\/strong> –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week I sneaked in mammacheblog<\/a> blogger training day. Here are the lessons I attended:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbara Damiano<\/a> – Content is the King: contents, publishing project and monetizing<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enrica Crivello<\/a> – Facebook and twitter for your blog<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enrico Epifani<\/a> – The Seo mom: basic tools to improve the visibility of your blog
<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I must admit I didn’t expect such a high level, I’ve been gladly surprised! speeches were interesting, full of useful information, and very inspiring. I will work a lot in next weeks, deepening the proposed subjects through my notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, moving on to the poster, inspiration came from the closing part of Barbara Damiani speech. At the end of this post you will find the complete text by Charles Bukowski, so that it would inspire you too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you want to be a writer?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

if it doesn\u2019t come bursting out of you
in spite of everything,
don\u2019t do it.
unless it comes unasked out of your
heart and your mind and your mouth
and your gut,
don\u2019t do it.
if you have to sit for hours
staring at your computer screen
or hunched over your
typewriter
searching for words,
don\u2019t do it.
if you\u2019re doing it for money or
fame,
don\u2019t do it.
if you\u2019re doing it because you want
women in your bed,
don\u2019t do it.
if you have to sit there and
rewrite it again and again,
don\u2019t do it.
if it\u2019s hard work just thinking about doing it,
don\u2019t do it.
if you\u2019re trying to write 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.
if you first have to read it to your wife
or your girlfriend or your boyfriend
or your parents or to anybody at all,
you\u2019re not ready.
don\u2019t be like so many writers,
don\u2019t be like so many thousands of
people who call themselves writers,
don\u2019t be dull and boring and
pretentious, don\u2019t be consumed with self-
love.
the libraries of the world have
yawned themselves to
sleep
over your kind.
don\u2019t add to that.
don\u2019t do it.
unless it comes out of
your soul like a rocket,
unless being still would
drive you to madness or
suicide or murder,
don\u2019t do it.
unless the sun inside you is
burning your gut,
don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

there is no other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and there never was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
