I just wanted to thank you for all the writing tips. The advice you gave the guy with The Counting Crows reference was excellent and very relateable. I don't write poetry myself, but I have been looking for a way to break into the field and get my voice

Hi - you’re welcome :) I’m glad it was useful! I always like to be able to help out other writers where possible, its really hard to actually get stuff out there and make a viable living from writing. The most difficult part is starting off and breaking out in the first place, so I’m pleased that some of my tips are useful. Good luck with all your writing in the future :)
