A Story Is Born by Xander Riley A story's a seed to be sown; It haunts you, won't leave you alone. It will gnaw at your brain And will drive you insane 'Til you give it a life of its own. It is born when committed to ink, And you're in control, so you think. But it grows like a weed Once it's finally freed, Leaving writer on sanity's brink. Your character acts for himself, As into the plotline he delves. Your ego inflates As you eagerly wait For the day that your book hits the shelves. © Copyright 2008 Xander Riley |
