I have a tale to tell that will truly melt your heart.
Or I might be tough, using fear to gain attention.
But get it wrong, I'm going nowhere from the start.
My font must be Times New Roman, size twelve, double spaced.
There's the title, word count, and a bio, slightly tweaked.
I'm a copy. There are more like me orbiting cyberspace.
One might land if an editor's interest can be piqued.
Times are different, all has changed, walls are closing in.
The pandemic caused a lot of people who were bored,
to remember we were each meant to have a novel in us.
Subsequently, this begat a whirling, swirling writing hoard.
However, it won't be long before a string of rejections,
will separate the keyboard wheat from the chaff, so to speak.
Those who bounce back, edit and re-write each sentence,
if then published, will experience something quite unique.
