In reply to Mireya. So true! Our own eyes are only 1 perspective. And with fear of feedback, we really do a disservice to ourselves by not seeking ways to grow and develop our own skills and abilities. It's remarkable what other people see, whether constructive or destructive!

In reply to Rhys Keller. That's the reason why I do it. I used to get so discouraged with this fake view of perfection.

In reply to Mireya. Thank you for the comment, Mireya! Yes, sharing our "private thoughts" poured out on paper is SOOO hard to do BUT is tremendously rewarding and powerful in that it allows other people with unique ideas pour their heart into our work as well. Great works of literature are always (if not almost always) built by a team rather than a solo-act. Keep at it!

My first book is almost done and I have blogged about it since day one. I share my experiences and the manuscript well yes I will be sharing this too. It is hard and scary to put your work out there but I need to do it.
