I think the best writers do. It's the only way to grow. That said, it takes a lot to jump in there with things that fall outside our normal purview. One of my personal challenges for 2016 is to do things that scare me, both with my writing and otherwise. I don't mean dangerous, just personally scary. So far I've done one thing---submitted a workshop proposal to the GA-RWA for the fall conference---and hitting "send" was so terrifying! But even if they opt not to accept the proposal, that's okay. I submitted it. And I didn't melt or explode! lolLisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014582949326182166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-48677836788350248152016-01-14T18:48:36.670-06:002016-01-14T18:48:36.670-06:00Linda--Congratulations.

My children, however, have begged me never to give them a publication that includes any racy content written by their mother.
