Maybe less frustrated with edits (LOL), but certainly not anywhere close to my current abilities. I use multiple mentors, for different things.Sharon Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733653906932403080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-55960456883568117492011-06-03T11:31:47.456-07:002011-06-03T11:31:47.456-07:00Beautiful post.

I see in you a tremendous drive to succeed, in all things. The writer's journey is sometimes frustrating as we focus on improving our craft, and our base, but with wonderful people like you, who have helped and been friend to so many other writers, that journey doesn't always have to be so lonely.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments here. Always a pleasure.Sharon Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733653906932403080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-68334493807166117292011-06-02T15:38:37.278-07:002011-06-02T15:38:37.278-07:00Hi Sharon, I'm still trying to figure out why ...Hi Sharon, I'm still trying to figure out why I write -- to feel good or to reach some unknown goal. It seems like the goals always get higher and higher, which is good--it's what pushes us to be better. But in trying to be better, I never feel completely good, either. LOL. I really enjoyed this post!Virna DePaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03857639027070159159noreply@blogger.com
