I learn about the process, about what works for me as I write, about what motivates me, about all the little how to's, and about how much I still have to learn. My father is a building contractor, and he always said that when you build a house, you start from the ground up, you build the house, you trim it out, move in, then realize there are a ton of things you'd change or do differently in the next house you build (a door, a window here or there, type of flooring, etc.). I'm finding that writing is kind of like building that house. The key is to know and understand the basics of building and architecture before digging the hole. What you're not sure of, research, learn from mistakes, and do better next time. Yes, there is a writing process, so for me, the journey is about learning who I am as a writer and where I want to go. With every step I take, I'm learning to do it better next time. I'm building my dream home in my writings and I WILL get it right.

The only excuse for bad grammar or sentence structure is ignorance. I admit being ignorant in some areas and seek help. Even in proofreading my own work, I find my first several drafts to be quite looney. A polished work is a gem. It takes many over-hauls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
