Everything we write and hand over to the world is going to define us, brand us, be used to dissect us. It's in our best interest to dish out perfection, or some form of it.

Why shouldn't I want them to be the best they can be?Laila Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430076999393883312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163829887162955058.post-44002600035810030062011-01-18T09:34:27.881-08:002011-01-18T09:34:27.881-08:00This is why I haven't submitted my stories to ...This is why I haven't submitted my stories to anyone yet. I'm just now getting to the point were I don't need more tweeks story wise. Grammar, punctuation and over word use and things like that are what I'm looking for now.

I want to make sure I give more than 110% first.Patricia JLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582005500429122486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163829887162955058.post-25692730247217810432011-01-18T06:26:34.341-08:002011-01-18T06:26:34.341-08:00I definitely rushed my first few submissions, but ...I definitely rushed my first few submissions, but you're right. With time and intense studying, practice, and dedication, we become ready.
