Readers have such a wide range of tastes it would be nigh on impossible to agree on what is the best novel of all.<br /><br />What I can do is aim to write the best novel I'm capable of and with the next one try to be even better than before. I do think writers get better the more they write.David M.

Funnily enough, I just had a poem accepted into an online magazine so go figure.Jonathan Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169533695637011148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839584506001378073.post-64097237751745046842012-07-21T22:23:48.116+10:002012-07-21T22:23:48.116+10:00I always thought that was one about Jesus. Or so M...I always thought that was one about Jesus. Or so MGM would have had us believe. But ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ is a pretty good one too. I notice it online all the time especially when it comes to poetry. Everyone is afraid to criticise poetry because no one is sure what constitutes a good poem any more. No one can even agree on a definition for poetry any more. I saw a video online a while ago—tried to find it again but can’t—in which some eighty famous poets tried to explain what poetry is. Some definitions were laughable. The end result was that not one of these great writers could find the right handful of words to say what it is. And that’s sad. If you cannot say what a poem is how can you tell when one’s not?<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.com
