What I like about this poem (especially the beginning) is that it applies equally to how I feel as a writer and a reader.<br /><br />You know, those books that absolutely change your outlook on the world or influence a new opinion. And aren't those kinds of books the reason you started writing in the first place?Angelica R.

Although it's as rewarding as I knew it would be. It's interesting, too, how writing fiction makes you assess and weigh your own life experiences to get the connection between what you write and why you write. It's always an unfolding journey.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786399562888821503.post-21725319089359549802011-03-03T01:38:14.441-08:002011-03-03T01:38:14.441-08:00When I'm feeling not-so-great (which is more o...When I'm feeling not-so-great (which is more often than I'd like to admit), it does help to look back on how far I come. It's so easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day stuff that I often forget how much forward movement there's been in my life. My writing journey has run fairly straight, but there have been a lot of potholes along the way (and I'm sure there will be more).Jennifer Hillierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783975547643539868noreply@blogger.com
