Enjoy what you've done!" Yeah, we're all just a little bit crazy (especially me).Jenna Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591399291903261245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038741495635767257.post-32218582850587789412010-10-30T00:32:42.305-05:002010-10-30T00:32:42.305-05:00Congrats on the story being published!

IF you thought that you were the cat's meow, I'd worry more about you. The people that think they are perfect, and don't worry about their writer, are the ones that never improve (and typically stink at writing).Kristal Shaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06525399770612173357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038741495635767257.post-47907967773516406512010-10-29T22:49:57.379-05:002010-10-29T22:49:57.379-05:00Congratulations on your story being published!

I didn't tell people I was writing anything until a few months ago when I started blogging. Then I was afraid to let anyone read it. Now I'm working on proudly telling people that I'm a writer and letting them read my stories.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835079187093517851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038741495635767257.post-73762053787219858812010-10-29T20:41:10.926-05:002010-10-29T20:41:10.926-05:00Writing is extremely personal, an extension of our...Writing is extremely personal, an extension of our creative selves.
