I read good writing all the time. I can't help comparing what I read with what I write. Sometimes, I'm lucky enough to say, "Wow, I'm so glad my writing is better than that." But other times, I have to admit that I need more work. I need more practice. That's okay. I just hit novel number three and I have a long way to go before I can call myself a wordsmith. :)<br /><br />ps- glad you told IC where to get off!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593882598668421250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-29262752664551482952012-05-04T13:18:35.548-04:002012-05-04T13:18:35.548-04:00Thanks for stopping by!

It wasn't brain surgery where the slip of a scalpel could be fatal. I knew some people would like my work and some people wouldn't. I stopped worrying about the few bad reviews and was just happy with the good ones. You aren't going to please everyone, but if you please yourself, you're going to please enough people. Did that make any sense? LOL. You have nothing to worry about. Your writing is solid. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-78499450445476215082012-05-02T13:42:54.799-04:002012-05-02T13:42:54.799-04:00Seriously, that should be a sponsor post!
