Perhaps it's a bit of creative nonfiction that pays homage to a dear friend. Maybe it's a story that makes a reader laugh. I learned (from one of the other WWWPs) that I need to get joy from my writing, and keeping my eye on the success of others brings me NO joy. So, I've stopped looking behind me and I've stopped looking ahead of me. <br /><br />I just keep plodding along...at my own pace.Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-73258859058795846972012-08-20T21:37:33.236-05:002012-08-20T21:37:33.236-05:00Nicely put, Linda.

Then there are other days when I wonder why I'm even trying since every other writer on the face of the earth is far more talented than I'll ever be.<br /><br />It's all in our frame of mind, I guess.<br /><br />Pat<br />Critter AlleyPat Wahlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138619912065680084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-59689708298786486022012-08-20T19:18:34.510-05:002012-08-20T19:18:34.510-05:00Gosh!
