Yes. Of course you are.

However, by defending/discussing yours, you’re participating in mine.

How horrible.

Too late…

I did answer them directly. If you have other questions, feel free. However, my writing goal is to, in some small part (or large part) save the world. This is the goal of every writer.

Publishing, sure. Publishing would be great, if only as a means of getting my work into the hands of the people. Get chicks? No, women tend not to be interested in poets, simply because we’re too “weird” and “intense”, possibly “sensitive” or some crap like that. Genre writing seems to be good if you’re aiming your message at a particular group, but still you’re bearing your message to them. A degree, again, is good for getting a job, which would help you spread your message. I’m not sure what other types of poets there are then spoken word, unless you mean spoken word in the terms of slam/performance poets, in which case an audience is almost assumed, and therefor a message is being transmitted.
