This is one of my favorite writing quotes, though I don't remember where I read it. Anyway, it's a great philosophy to write by. I'd never get anything done if I tried to make every word I wrote perfect. <br /><br />Great post -- and even in the year or so I've been reading your work, you've improved.

It's a good thing you're such a smartypants, because most people can't catch up that fast on things they ignored through more than a decade of school. ;) And you have always had that spark of great storytelling. Now that you can do paragraph breaks and snappy dialogue, your writing shines. <br /><br />P.S. Thanks so much, once again, for starting our writing group. I feel like it is truly nurturing to all of our amateur (but obviously genius!) talents, which of course are useless without the hard work that we encourage each other to put in.
