You Should Be A Poet

You craft words well, in creative and unexpected ways. And you have a great talent for evoking beautiful imagery... Or describing the most intense heartbreak ever. You're already naturally a poet, even if you've never written a poem.

What Type of Writer Should You Be?

Believe me, I do not look like that, sitting around in my nightshirt. It's a challenge, that -- what should a poet look like? If one is neither an ethereal girl, nor a wizened greybeard, can one still be a poet? If you stand behind that podium, pronouncing in a serious voice, will anyone believe you?

Do you look like the kind of writer you should be?

Don't you love the graphic.... Probably something from AARP that they did with an airbrush :)

I hope looks are not important to becoming a poet...
One becomes a poet when they continue to write poems

You Should Be a Film Writer You don't just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind. You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life. Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling. And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen!What Type of Writer Should You Be?

erm, except that my hair could never do that in a million years (wish it would!) and I dress in a distinctly less hip and psychadelic style.

I also think my posture might be too good to qualify me as a film writer.

You were right: the aesthetic aspects of a writer's life are hard!

I write poems alone in the dark (ok, there's a lamp), with music playing, wearing my pink fuzzy slippers. :)

Good point.

Not the poet, but the poem has to be believed.
