I Don’t Want To

I don’t

want to

have to

SHOUT

to get

you to

hear me 

over all the 

incessant noise

There are millions

of voices

all talking at once

You do not need

another one

I’ll just sit

HERE

and be quite

Join me if you

would like too

I Don't Want To

Thoughts

There are so many people trying to sell their wares on the internet. I get it. The artist needs to eat. I am writing my first novel and hope that it sells but must I become my own pr, marketer, designer, gameshow host, comedian, dancing monkey, to do it?

Let’s hope not.
