Wish I could be a salesman, wish I had that gift with people.<br /><br />Wish I could run fast and race marathons or swim fast and be a competitive triathlete, but I'm slow as molasses.Mandy_Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05561598721266208665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-47983926368693829832009-05-24T14:57:37.839-05:002009-05-24T14:57:37.839-05:00Hey my friend,...

The author said: Sit down and write.<br /><br />Is that all there is to it? I don't know but every writer is definitely doing it.

Far from it. The best writing is that of real life, every day real life. It's wonderful to see something of our selves in someone else's words, to make that connection. Your voice shines through on your blog, and I'm sure it does in your other writing as well. Voice is so much of what makes a writer. I say, Char, write on!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-40810452543753363682009-05-21T20:32:48.293-05:002009-05-21T20:32:48.293-05:00I've also tried my hand at fiction and but I tend ...I've also tried my hand at fiction and but I tend to prefer real life stuff.

It's <br />been hard because I fear what <br />others may think because I know<br />what I'm writing isn't as eloquent<br />as the next persons. I guess the <br />only way to break through that is<br />to keep writing. Just write. I guess<br />I'm actually writing to myself here. <br />Ha! Hang in there.

But I do have a degree in Professional Writing. And either you edit well or you flow well and don't have to edit. Because I have a good eye for the way a phrase is turned and one sentence just happens to naturally slide into another. And you are unique. The way you visualize is unique. I like your authenticity and your candor and you keep me reading every single time.
