Skintwriter is back and making intolerable demands on us once again. He asks us to.....
"Use some poetry or creative prose to share something about what being a writer means to you, or if you don't label yourself a writer share something of what you think defines a writer."
Hmmm.....
This madness
Hot words
burn my head
drag me, screaming,
from the midnight bed
disrupt my days
destroy my nights
pen is missing
(always a dread)
to seal the words and
keep them still
locked in files
chained until
the moro -
new pots to be filled.
If you choose to bow to his unreasonable request, please link back here , and you had better go and tell him that you missed him!

Hi! thanks for the comment.
I've lurked around your blog a couple of times, but have not left a comment as it seems so writerly, & I'm not.
But, it's interesting & I like it.
Don't brand me 'writerly', Tarty. Look at some of me links -
a Novapulsian chicken,
an Irish earth mother,
a randy dog,
an aubergine,
a broke welshman
A shameful Shameless
a smart ass ape
not to mention that small philosopher that you are already acquainted with.
They may write, but they are all mad!
Good idea. I might have a go later.
Er, Madam Minx, are you calling all our writerly credentials into question... Shame on you. And I am not so mad. Not so at all. Just a little bit...
By the way, I thought it was a prerequisite to be a bit mad or a lot mad to be a writer.
'Scuse me, I have to go and swat some words now, damned things keep buzzing around me like a plague of flies.
I am certainly interested - watch out for my authorial remarks!
No, Madam Atyllah, there is no question, no question at all. Mad is good - have you met the dog? He writes, umm, haykus - very original.
Like the poem. Wonderfully evocative.
And even with a name like minx, you cannot hide the brain. Tsk, tsk, too bad :-)
Mad? A couple of them sound indignant, maybe.
Which small philosopher is that? & small in what way?
That would small in the size department, Tartykins.
Indignant? I hope so.
Oh, I think I know who you are talking about. small, huh? let me write that down next to his name for future reference. He only has two stars anyway(so far). I keep track of these things. I'm very organized.
