Here is a sample poem from my book, Silently They Come, (by John G. Powell).

[J.M. Goodwin @jmgwritten]

This argument about "The best authors ignore all the rules!" is only displaying the ignorance of it's proponents

Play any video game yourself, then go watch a professional play it, and you'll understand. They do all kinds of things that look nonsensical to you because they're playing at a completely different level. They understand the game in ways you can't grasp. So much so that if you try and mimic their behavior you'll fail miserably because you lack the basic understanding necessary for those techniques to succeed

Writing is the same way. You/me/we cannot mimic Tolkien because we do not understand the fundamental concepts that make his kind of story work the way it does

The ability to break the rules and win has to be earned, not copied

[John Powell @JohnGPowell]

@bethcarter007 Yes. I didn't finish a couple. Even "Project Hail Mary" was dissatisfying in places.

[John Powell @JohnGPowell]

My book of poetry is now available on Amazon.

Wishing all of you a wonderful day.
