Sunday Comments on Writing and Publishing
January 31, 2010
So You want to write want to really write?
Be able to enjoy the fact that you are a writer, but also be able to say that my work is bad and I need help.
Enjoy the moment.
Be able to write and edit and be a marketing genius all at once.
Love your writing.
Be able to fix it beyond what you think it might need.
Hope for the best.
Be able to accept that this one wasn’t the best to others.
A bit of hope and a bit of reality in one go… that is what writing is about.

Valuable points Rebecca! Ones which every writer knows but get buried into the subconscious pit!

I think there's a value in cultivating an attitude of deliberately enjoying reviewing your work.
I'm not sure why writers cling so much to their first drafts, unwilling or unable to expose them to the world.
Do dancers only present their warm-ups? Do musical performers only play the first song they learnt?
Hmmm…
Cheers;
