All of my new poems will be copied into my Scrapbook. If you would like to see my personal analysis of why my poems are what they are, get into my head, and finally understand what the hell I am talking about then you might want to check out the Scrapbook version. I will break down all of my poems into lines, important phrases or words, and any kind of abstract thought or form and try to explain what I was doing in the description for each poem. If you think there is anything to be learned from my writing methods then please let me know when I say something helpful.

I'm also doing this to disassociate my "finished" work from receiving constructive criticism. If you want to leave me a constructive critique on a particular point then please find the poem in my Scrapbook and leave your suggestion there. Obviously, I cannot force anyone to conform to this commenting practice. However, if you have read this, that is my preferred form of feedback. That way I know for sure that you have read my reason for using a certain word, or whatever, when I see your criticism. Knowing that will help me to see comments in relation to my own intentions.

I do appreciate all of the comments that I get, but anyone should be able to realize that "it's great" is a lot harder to understand as relevant to my work than "I hate how you used...", and "It's a little hard to follow you where you say...", and "The third line really means a lot to me personally, because...". So, if your purpose is to help me as a writer or you do have a serious interest in the process of my writing then please take the time to clearly state your thoughts and reactions. They are invaluable to me. Even the ones that I totally disagree with. ;]

Thank you for reading.
