Interesting Article

I just wanted to pass along this wonderful article by Karen Rinaldi, describing a refreshing way to look at writing.

Great article, Kate. Thanks for posting the link.

It is so true about starting over even if the last story was published. The very first story I ever wrote was rejected by WW and immediately published in The Star. It was years later before I sold another story. I thought is was going to be so easy and it isn't. But I can't not write.

Nice to know someone who has worked on all sides--writer, editor, and publisher--agrees.

It's so strange how people assume that they can write without practicing. It must be because we all write all the time. But, a lot of us sing all the time too--in the shower, in the car--but that doesn't mean we sing well enough for people to pay us for it! LOL

Kate, thanks so much for sharing this. It's just what I needed. I've stepped away from writing for the last couple years. I've been sure that I'm just fooling myself that I'll ever be any good at it. But like Pat said, I can't not write. So I'm going to try again, even though I suck at it. Thanks again.
