I won my first challenge today!
As a memebr of a writer’s group on the net I have been pretty slack in joining in with stuff. I’m finally beginning to learn the lesson that just getting on with it really is the way forward. ‘Write and write lots’ they keep shouting at me from the wings and yes, believe it or not, the published authors are right.
I have to say that I feel pretty damn good about it and find myself far more willing to take criticism constructively in the light of someone actually showing that I heading in the right direction. For that I thank my group, I would not want to be writing in a bubble anymore, nor am I scared to show even my laziest work to others. So the best thing I have done so far is joined a writer’s group. I have realised, humbly, that you can’t learn and improve on your own (I should know this - I am a teacher) and that if something is worth doing it will always pay off in the end.
So many hurdles to jump, but the first I hope will be the hardest...
No bloody chance.
