Took me a while to let go of some of them, but the advice and counsel of so many writers and editors I respected forced me to let go of my precious ego, and realize what I was calling my "style" was just bad, self-indulgent writing.

But writers need others to grow. Take time to network via the Internet and face-to-face. Learn from other writers and give to others -- don't be self-conscious about your lack of experience or knowledge. You'll be surprised by what you know and can share and by what you can Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171630819400384478noreply@blogger.com
