It's known that money makes us autonomous. But how to act when somebody has no cash? The one way only is to receive the home loans or college loan.

I love reading and would do it all the time if the darn house would just clean itself.

Thanks, Ann! One thing I stress in my workshops is that as imperative as editing and rewriting are, we can’t edit the life out of our writing or our voice will become lost.

Well said, Cheryl! I didn’t comment the first couple times I read through your article, as you thoroughly covered the basics and value of a good critique group. What you said about suggestions *not* taken really resonated with me, though.

Your explanation of what you can and cannot be flexible about, and why, should be read by every new writer. We should always strive to improve our skill, but our ‘voice’ makes each of us special, whether we write for publication, for friends or for our own pleasure. Brava!
