Dear Ninja,
I'm inspired by a modern-day poet, inspired to the point where I've decided to actually sit down and write her something special. The problem is, my writing doesn't even come close to that of hers, so I'm stuck in this dilemma. I know that she's going to love whatever I write simply because it was written by one of her fans and this woman is all about her fans, but I want to do more than that. I want to wow her just as she has wowed me.
It wasn't until yesterday that I decided to do this, so my question to you is-
Should I just throw something together real quick, something worthy of a smile, or should I take a week or two to think things over in hopes that I can come up with something impressive enough to wow her?
I would hate to waste a week or two contemplating this, only to find myself still coming up short of something decent. You get me?
My answer:
Well, if you were close to talented like her, you'd probably be published as well. The fact that you admire her art enough to sit down and pour yourself into writing for her is wonderful. You might not have the best rhymes, but where you can shine is the delivery!
So you come up short on the words, big deal. How you present them to her can mean the difference between something that sits in a pile collecting dust and something she will remember forever.
Might I suggest writing it on body parts and photographing it. Then take those pictures and make a collage with them. Something distinctive and unique is sure to give you that WOW you're looking for.
If all else fails, hire a midget and have it deliver the writing to her door! You can even get the wee one to read it to her! Trust me, I don't think she would ever forget that!
It's not always the words that make the biggest impact. Sometimes it's the words written on the ass of a midget that really says "I admire you."
