That gives me the ability to just stop writing for a time when I get stuck. I used to make myself push through but that rarely yielded a satisfying result. I try to give myself grace and write when the inspiration hits me. I go from not having any ideas to having so many ideas that there's not enough time in the day to write them all down.
The hardest thing in the world is to be patient with oneself. (less)

I think there is a lot of merit to that because your first goal as a writer is to find your authentic voice. It is difficult when first writing to not mimic other writing styles. My first story was about a psychiatric hospital because that was an environment I knew well and could speak authoritatively on. The story is not very well written and it took me almost three months, but it did teach me how to write. (less)

“Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.”

message 1: by Kevin

Kevin This author has encouraged and inspired me greatly. A true friend, always willing to help, and who will always be there for you when you need him. A fantastic musician, singer, and songwriter as well, by the way. And a loyal family man, and a man of wisdom and faith. (I could go on and on, but this compliment is getting pretty expensive, so I better wait until he sells a few more books :)
