I guess I just like to remind people, that in the end, it is their own art that is at stake.Pan Historiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784598437235690294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6859815716035905460.post-33142533630490488392009-01-31T14:47:00.000-08:002009-01-31T14:47:00.000-08:00I don't know that there are hard and fast rules of...I don't know that there are hard and fast rules of writing, just ideas and suggestions and things that worked for someone and things that didn't. <BR/><BR/>You're right -- learn how others do it well, then make it your own.Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6859815716035905460.post-69956765878581870902009-01-31T14:38:00.000-08:002009-01-31T14:38:00.000-08:00Yes, while I do believe that learning to be a writ...Yes, while I do believe that learning to be a writer because you wish to make a career or art of it is a difficult path involving discipline, I also write for fun and so quite understand the different demands.

Her commentary on writing advice was a very dramatic drag on her cigarette while staring straight at me, then to say, "Just write, god damnit. All the other little bits people worry about and write books about, the editors get paid to fix that. Let them do their jobs. Your job is to be creative and write. So just write."Scarecrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16305565833934343577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6859815716035905460.post-27697970928195408212009-01-31T09:08:00.000-08:002009-01-31T09:08:00.000-08:00Excellent advice.

I'm trying not to focus on where my dream of writing is taking me, just enjoying the ride.Eric S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13214969358950690069noreply@blogger.com
