A Writer's Struggle

I've selectively shared my writer's process until now. The image here is simple and yet complex. Sometimes, the ideas come with a few words. Other times, it's a sentence or two. Regardless, there's more to what you see in the poem you read or story I write. This is just a sample. If you have something handwritten from me, count yourself among the few. Many times, the words get crumpled into wads of paper and thrown in the trash before hitting the digital page.


A Writer's Struggle By Annette CampJune 24, 2024
With each letterI write not justwords, but aheartfelt message.
I crossout words.I stop andrestart.
The struggle for just the right word to express what I feel is real.
I write andrewrite words,edit andrearrange.
I sometimes wonder if youhear my heartin between the words.
