I’m just a fisherman of words
When luck be my might
A word will bite
When the waves crash with vengeance
I’ll pull in a sentence
When the sea roars, masts are frail
I’ll reel in a whale.
-W.E.
I have a confession to make.
It’s just all luck of the bite.
Your job is to throw out the bait, that can never stop if you wish to have a meal.
The rest is up to the sea. If she feels merciful, she will grant you a taste.
When there is an abundance, she will let you feast.
I don’t own a thing.
Some of my catches have been releases of far better men and women before me who don’t need to devour their catch.
The experience is enough for them.
Love this! Throw out the bait! Hope to catch something worth keeping!

Hey, just being honest. Everything I write is usually done in five to thirty minutes max. Five for short pieces. Thirty for longer ones. I don’t think about it. Thinking about it too long for me destroys it’s purity. If it doesn’t tug at the line, I’ll pull the line back in and throw it out again later.

Not talent trust me. It’s just crap loads of books and words of better more noble people, perhaps just lucky to be able to have a half decent sifter. Lol

You’re writing, even in replies is incredibly warm, burning even. Has to be to still have temperature even though you share it from across the ocean.

Awe… That makes me smile. : ) That’s the best compliment. I always hope my words are felt. Thank you, Mr. Lonerloaner. : ) I can say your words are felt across the oceans too!

Funny you said that 🙂 I was going to say sometimes I type so fast on my phone my responses may be a bit jumbled. I’ll go back and read my comments and will want to die. Glad I’m not the only one!

It’s hard to also switch from writing to texting mode. Phones feel so artificial, but they provide a convenience, catch 22
