Confessions of a Fledgling Writer


~I cried when I wrote the flood scene in my book.


~I back up my work infrequently.


~I. Hate. Punctuation,


~Somedays I don’t write at all.


~I steal dialogue out of my kids’ mouths.


~During my critique group meetings, I learn as much from hearing the evaluations of other members' manuscripts as I do from the appraisals of my own work.



Whew! I’m glad I got that off my chest. I guess the important thing is I keep at it and don’t give up.
