I feel better. :-)

Let’s just say no one will believe me when I say it’s done for sure, really this time, no I mean it.

And it helps us all learn from ourselves and each other. I find that when I discuss my problems in writing I can work through them (and in all else). I think the need to keep it all secret and hush hush is silly and serves no purpose. As owl and sparrow says, we are all human!

It’s great to hear that you did these changes so quickly and efficiently – good for you! Sounds like you have a great group!

We all get impatient. We’ve all sent things out before they were ready. You are fortunate to have a critique group. I have never been that fortunate or brave. I don’t see any egg and if I did I wouldn’t care all I see someone who’s working very hard at what she does and that’s to be admired! You’re getting there and when you do it will be sweet. I promise!

I appreciate how much support I get from you guys. Jennifer and Mireille mentioned recently that French writers don’t seem to want to discuss their techniques or problems with the craft like Americans do. I figure that discussing my fumblings might encourage someone else.

I keep telling myself no one can relate to perfect people because none of us are perfect – everyone can relate to making mistakes, though they can be hard to admit sometimes.

Thanks for your honesty! This week, as I’ve taken a quick step away to evaluate my work so far, I especially relate to this post. :)
