Creative Time

I am back into my writing craft. It feels wonderful to be back. I didn't understand how much I missed it - until I get back into it for a period of time. It's been about 4 weeks now of daily development and feedback from other writer's.

Developing is a lonely process unless you get feedback on what you are creating. It makes sense to you in your head, but when feedback comes from people you respect - and they tell you the 'they don't get it' - you have to take a step back and attack again.

You see, most times we, writer's, think that we are writing what we are thinking and that's a lie. We convince ourselves that we are so cleaver that anyone can see what we see. Clarity is not a given. We have to work at it. Chew on it. Claw at it until the reader can comprehend what we are trying to paint on the page.

It's a wonderful process when we get it down and someone tells us that they 'get it'.

I'm off the the library to do some work.

What are you doing to improve your craft? Are you getting any feedback from those you cherish and trust? If not, you really are missing out on something special.

Your Life - Your Rules!
