Got mocked for writing a poem on a napkin at a diner in Dayton last Tuesday, still posted it anyway
Some guy at the counter said poets are just homeless people with better grammar, so I folded the napkin into my pocket and finished my eggs. Twenty minutes later I typed it up and it got more reads than anything I'd done in three years of forum posts, so who's really winning here? Any other writers ever flip a rude comment into their best piece?
