and in the end
when your on your death bed and your time is up....
you won't look back on the typos and miss spellings... the bad pages and damage to the cover
you'll look back on the whole thing
not as a collection of sheets, notes, and pictures.....
but as a complete book
Author notes
just some thinking i've been doing lately

Its true, I like it. It's really sorta a metaphor for life, and I love how it appeals to writers..
Very witty! -

I like it, it's really interesting. And I can't help but agree.

Excellent, creative idea: however, just because your poem mentions typos and misspellings doesn't mean you will get away with them. :-) "when your on your death bed" The first "your" should be "you're." There were a couple other punctuation errors, nothing you can't fix on your own.
Thanks for entering the contest, and good luck!beginning: 1, language: 1, plot: 2, ending: 1, dialog: 1, characters: 1.

These are some pretty interesting thoughts. I agree with you 100%. That being said, I know I said I would read anything, but I was kind of hoping for more of a story.
-
I agree with you as well. I've always been saying that one of my only wishes is not having to feel regret when I die.
I remember reading my old diaries and journals. It is actually funny how I used to get upset and unhappy because of some silly reasons. When I look back, I realise that many things that used to matter do not mean anything to me right now.

It is so very true. Such small words have some effects on the readers such as this =]

Agreed
I agree with what you've written here. These are nice thoughts, and I'd like to believe that it would happen in the end. It has long been my dream to leave a "legacy" of sorts when I finish this life, even through my short stories or the poems. This gave me a little hope though - I'm an unpublished writer and even if I joined my university's literary folio, I still was not able to get any of my works up Perhaps I was not good enough, perhaps my work needed MUCH more than I could present. I have somewhat been convinced that I should settle for "passing" since most of what I can do is pretty average.
In the end... I think even those works that I have not penned, the very thoughts that I have attempted to express through writing (but failed miserably) would still be passed on to my next life. I'm an avid believer of incarnation, and I'd like my passion for writing to be carried on... Thank you for this read -
