ReplyDeleteEverything starts somewhere. Even the best and most established artists, writers and magazines began at some point in time as new. I am reminded of Henri Rousseau's attempt to have one of his paintings placed in the Louvre. Rousseau's paintings were deemed crude and unsophisticated by some of the painting peers of his time, yet now they are some of the most famous paintings around. Some of his more learned and "esteemed" peers are hardly remembered, yet his works are Jungian in how well they've established themselves in the collective unconsciousness of our society. Many of his works are better liked than some of his more "respected" contemporaries and most are better known! Yet when he was starting out as a painter, the Louvre ridiculed and rejected him when he offered them one of his paintings, I believe it was The Sleeping Gypsy. And now that very painting is in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. I'm sure the Louvre are kicking themselves now, since The Sleeping Gypsy is priceless! Let me kick them once too, for Rousseau. We're here to give creative writers a real voice. If you have something you want to see published, submit it. If you don't think we're for you, fine, by all means, don't submit anything. If you have valid criticisms, let's hear them. But if you don't have anything constructive to say, then by all means piss off! Consider yourself kicked.
