I would not change a word of Bukowski's advice:

if it doesn't come bursting out of you
in spite of everything,
don't do it.
unless it comes unasked out of your
heart and your mind and your mouth
and your gut,
don't do it.
if you have to sit for hours
staring at your computer screen
or hunched over your
typewriter
searching for words,
don't do it.
if you're doing it for money or
fame,
don't do it.
if you're doing it because you want
women in your bed,
don't do it.
if you have to sit there and
rewrite it again and again,
don't do it.
if it's hard work just thinking about doing it,
don't do it.
if you're trying to write like somebody
else,
forget about it.

if you have to wait for it to roar out of
you,
then wait patiently.
if it never does roar out of you,
do something else.

if you first have to read it to your wife
or your girlfriend or your boyfriend
or your parents or to anybody at all,
you're not ready.

don't be like so many writers,
don't be like so many thousands of
people who call themselves writers,
don't be dull and boring and
pretentious, don't be consumed with self-
love.
the libraries of the world have
yawned themselves to
sleep
over your kind.
don't add to that.
don't do it.
unless it comes out of
your soul like a rocket,
unless being still would
drive you to madness or
suicide or murder,
don't do it.
unless the sun inside you is
burning your gut,
don't do it.

when it is truly time,
and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by
itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.

there is no other way.

and there never was.(less)

Ali se (Quase Samba) // Pedro M. Castro

Ali se canta,
ali se conta,
ali se fala,
que quando Alice passa
logo ali se adoça
até a tristeza

Ali se sabe
ali se quebram
Alice, corações...
que ali se vertem
que ali se quedam
até que Alice volte

Logo ali se dança
logo ali se samba
logo ali se soam,
toque do pandeiro
corda do cavaquinho
bordão do violão

E ali se despe
Alice, Alice
e ali sua boca
Alice, Alice
e ali se espalha
Alice, Alice
A sua roupa
