I really liked this point you made, Leanne:
"The most important piece of advice, however, is this: don't take out the "you". Inject yourself into everything you write. I don't mean that every poem should be autobiographical -- of course not, that would be dull -- but every poem should have your own unique flair, something that sets it apart from the generic, something that convinces the reader that you actually care about the subject and about the reader's enjoyment."
