Re: Are you a writer?
LOL Yes. I am very well capable to tell people like it is. On paper.
IRL though, I have more issues, especially with authority figures. Learning though, learning!

Re: Are you a writer?
From my experience you should never stop learning. And as I have grown older, and I hope wiser, more confident in standing up to authority when appropriate. But even at my age it is still a learning process.Eadwine Rose wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 8:21 am LOL Yes. I am very well capable to tell people like it is. On paper.

Re: Are you a writer?
Indeed true quotes. I have been told the same by some of my elderly clients back then. :)

Re: Are you a writer?
Hehe.. their comments were mostly like: we're never too old to learn, I am even learning something new from you.

Took a half hour phone call from them to make me see reason that the book IS good enough, and that I DID put enough effort in.
When it comes to writing, I find that it is a daily battle. I can laugh about it when I'm not suffering in its icy grip.

Re: Are you a writer?
As an aspiring novelist, I personally cannot really answer this question, because I have never progressed beyond the stage of simply writing copious notes for myself on the characters, settings and plot.
I suppose I can give one possibly useful tip. Some years ago, I discovered--through what, I don't remember--a "work in progress notebook" organizer by an author named Jeannie Ruesch. (http://jeannieruesch.com/product-catego ... -notebook/ ) She made it available in either book form or a computer file; I bought the file version. I've never even gotten around to using it yet, but it could be of interest to other writers.
