“Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant.”

I often wonder how writers  feel when they see their name in print. Happy? Professional? What!? There are poets who write extremely well but they do not get themselves published. I personally know many poets. However, I really do not know what exactly their fears are! Is it the desire of not opening yourself up to the world? Or is it the fear of being misunderstood?

    I think the desire to become known or famous makes the difference
