Writers groups, workshops, and conferences have also shortened the learning curve.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

As in many...Thanks for the mention and link, Susan. As in many things, maybe it's better that we don't know the future. But I wish someone had given me a shove in the direction of the best 'how to' books and websites a few years sooner than I found them. Stretching across that 'I know I can do it better' gap is an excruciatingly slow process as it is, but without some early guidance it takes some of a *very* long time. :)Carol J.

Learning the craft, marketing, the publishing scene, and social media all keep me hopping.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

I sometimes tell my husband life was much easier before writing :) But every time I get a note, e-mail or comment from someone who was touched by my writing, I know it is what I have to keep on doing.<br />Happy weekend!Marja Verschoor-Meijershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475263793581289701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-75270368053643902302011-10-22T21:49:53.386-04:002011-10-22T21:49:53.386-04:00Hi Karen -

When we lose sight of why factor, it's easy to get discouraged.<br /><br />Hi Nancy - I sure didn't know what I was getting myself into. Isn't God good that He gives us information on a need-to-know basis?<br /><br />Hi Maria - I've been on your site a few times, but didn't see anything new.

The bottom line is that there are parts of writing and the dream that I still love, that keep me moving forward.
