Roundup Rage in Writing

"The poet writes his poems out of his rage." - Stanley Kunitz

Let frustrations and rage ignite passion in your writing. What really irritates you right now? What gets the Grrrr going?

Set the stage with frustration. Add aspects of life that annoy you. Then pursue them with flamelike insights. Add colors, scents and sounds. 

Once you have written detail upon detail, take a break. Take a walk and let your mind mingle in movement away from your angst for fifteen minutes.

Return to writing. Charge onward with creative ideas for positive solutions. End with ecstacy.

Through writing about your anger and despair, become a witness to the possibility of revelation. 

Words conquer all. Roundup your rage in writing.  Go get 'em!
