>> It is so nice to hear a real writer saying "hey you should keep writing / working on what you've written?" <<
;) Oh, not just writer. I'm also a professional editor. I have read mountains upon mountains of crap. While you're right in observing that you have room to grow on technical skills and polish, your concepts are good and your presentation engaging. It is the latter things which are difficult or impossible or learn if you do not have them. Technique you can learn.
>> Because sometimes I just kinda ... fade into the background when I am around people I admire and want to imitate, and then I manage to be LOUD when I am around the people I don't actually care for all that much. Brains, bah.<<
That is pesky.
I like encouraging people, and helping writers develop their craft. It's fun, rewarding, and a way for me to put a bit more of my stamp on the world.
>> I AM going to WRITE this summer. <<
Go for it!
>>I AM WRITING this spring *checks word count on blog entries so far* I just need to focus on being specific about what I want to write. And that is a real and positive change from six months ago, when I was thinking "well I'd kinda like to write again sometime but when?"<<
I'm glad it's improving. I hope that things like the Creative Jam and bingo cards help.
>>So, yeah. Feeling kinda good about my overall writing momentum and the impact that creative activities have on the rest of my life.<<
