There were times over the years when I stopped writing for a few weeks, and going back to it, I always felt a bit rusty from the time off.Anthony Rapinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11581208296144295224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733289016000331233.post-17313785809915350622010-07-24T21:46:56.876-04:002010-07-24T21:46:56.876-04:00So true, Marcy.

And how do you know that you suck and there's no chance of getting better despite all of the practicing? I blogged a little about this today. I do know that I have grown as a writer since beginning this journey. I'm much better at integrating backstory, better at pacing, etc. I can see this with my newest YA. Anyway, I appreciate your thoughtful post and your neverending encouragement.
