That kind of structured (classroom?) environment feels like a safe place to try something new and get to know people I'd be too shy to meet some other way.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-31492419733769430832007-01-06T16:42:00.000-06:002007-01-06T16:42:00.000-06:00That is really neat.

Most only do it in a workshop though. Now you have photos to go with your writing. <br />I enjoyed the sound of the rain out your way. that was pretty neat too.<br /><br />AussieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-7178811465982547552007-01-04T18:35:00.000-06:002007-01-04T18:35:00.000-06:00Janet, I would, too.

I noticed in that dialogue that Writing can be a bit sarcastic. <br /><br />Sunflower, I don't know if I have much more confidence now than I did then, but my level of self-acceptance has certainly increased. As a result, I've grown way more comfortable with the idea that it's okay if what I write isn't perfect. I've had so much practice not being perfect in other areas, it was bound to carry over to the writing.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-59482945216098064152007-01-03T22:57:00.000-06:002007-01-03T22:57:00.000-06:00I loved this, Velvet!

There are so many excuses that can keep us from creating - mostly our own demons.<br /><br />This was a great read and a wonderful nudge to keep working!Sunflower Optimismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797860099404871043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-60043540920739192792007-01-03T21:26:00.000-06:002007-01-03T21:26:00.000-06:00I can just imagine what Writing has to say about i...I can just imagine what Writing has to say about it taking 19 years and a computer to get you writing again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
