What one editor loves another hates. <br /><br />Continually learning and trusting the Lord are the two things that keep me from having a melt down.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

I feel I haven't done well in the writing realm or the spiritual one either and then something happens that seems to make the information come to the surface and I see it or others see it.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-13265371073785975242009-04-13T10:36:00.000-04:002009-04-13T10:36:00.000-04:00Hi Cindy -I can't tell you how often I've gone bac...Hi Cindy -<BR/><BR/>I can't tell you how often I've gone back to an article (sometimes published) and wished I could re-do it.

But, as you said, looking back over an old piece of work shows there is a difference. I did that recently and found so many things I would change and fix to make better. I think everything we take in stays in our minds and we do use that advice somewhere along the way.Cindy R.

Reading and writing has helped me to not only latch onto new concepts, but retain them.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Susan :)Susan J.

I've memorized scripture from when I was a child. I thought I'd forgotten a lot of it. At the most unexpected moments, one will pop up when I need it the most.<BR/><BR/>It's in there!<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Susan :)Susan J.

When I write now, I'm usually conscious of character arc, strong verbs, hooks, etc. While I'm writing these things are in the back of my mind.<BR/>Kudos to you for keeping on learning!Jessica Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365768876905444157noreply@blogger.com
