So now that I have created my own little hospital or rehabilitation center for my works in progress, I have come to the conclusion that in fact, if I don’t work on these babies each and every day, honing the craft, they will never grow and become strong, ready for the real world. And the best part is if they get rejected in the real world, they can always come home to the rewrite department and stay for as long as they like until they are ready to go out and venture again!
A lot of tender loving care goes into this plan of action. This process I have created within my own mind has helped me to strengthen weak areas in writing, while gaining more knowledge, and accepting diversity with style and has increased my confidence levels. I am learning my pace and voice deep within and that all good things can come to those who wait patiently. I have taken a slower approach with my writing, carefully stepping back and taking a view of where I have been, where I am now and where I would like to be in the future. Life is great and so is writing!
