Writers and Poets write because they have the urge to tell a story or to share their thoughts. However, most writers and poets come across many challenges when they actually try to get their work published.

Many successful writers and poets were initially rejected by countless publishers and literary agents.

For instance, one literary agent advised a writer that she (the agent) "couldn't see anything worthwhile about the writing." The writer viewed that literary agent as a dark cloud - in other words, he looked for more enlightened support - and was published to critical acclaim.

If you have a creative talent, don't let it go to waste. If you have the desire to write but you don't know where to start, try a creative writing course. Writing classes are a good way of getting to know other aspiring writers and poets. Your writing mentors can inspire you to continue when you may be ready to quit. When you come across the darkest cloud, focus on the silver lining and you will come out a winner.
