That's a natural first step in a growing writer's journey.<br /><br />Becca @ The Bookshelf MuseBecca Puglisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08945707666707799601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734108232999147338.post-71786642735197172292011-04-06T07:59:13.789-07:002011-04-06T07:59:13.789-07:00I'm celebrating your nicetude today, Lisa! :)I'm celebrating your nicetude today, Lisa! :)Susan Kaye Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348197999397141067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734108232999147338.post-55741404371831591032011-04-06T07:51:21.854-07:002011-04-06T07:51:21.854-07:00Elle - I love that pic too!!

Slush Piles everywhere will thank you. <br /><br />And never stop learning either. As much as you might think all the rules are known, there is always more to learn about craft that can be applied to your work. Choosing to always grow as a writer is what marks you as a professional. <br /><br />Angela @ The Bookshelf MuseAngela Ackermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808259088625142389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734108232999147338.post-16022609984669333852011-04-04T20:27:17.660-07:002011-04-04T20:27:17.660-07:00Brenda - Yes you do.

I said, VERY. Learn them well. Learn when to break them to make your prose soar or to create characters that talk the way you want them to talk in order to reveal who they are. <br /><br />Rools is very important.cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734108232999147338.post-55074610201628715092011-04-04T10:28:22.717-07:002011-04-04T10:28:22.717-07:00Great picture, Lisa.
