It does need to be shared, with whom and how is not important, just the sharing part. <br /><br />It's difficult to get past the 'what will other people think' part, thats for sure, but it swirls back to that purpose. Words, like people, need connection. <br />Your post did that for me today, <br />RebeccaRebecca Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14774947689324675399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656595739502076040.post-9464644543485807452009-04-17T17:05:00.000-04:002009-04-17T17:05:00.000-04:00Beautifully said, Traci.

It's scary in so many ways but exciting too.lotusgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663641163048764869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656595739502076040.post-41689255424207225972009-04-17T00:03:00.000-04:002009-04-17T00:03:00.000-04:00So right you are!

The author of Eat, Love, Pray said to remember that you and your muse or genius are a team, so it's not all on your shoulders. <br /><br />Keep showing up!Anette J Kreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675193405511996480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656595739502076040.post-41772415414214414462009-04-16T22:36:00.000-04:002009-04-16T22:36:00.000-04:00Great quote!

After the first few critiques, when I started agreeing with the critiquers and realizing what needed to be changed even before I sent it to beta readers...it did make my skin a bit thicker and a bit more bearable.<br /><br />Still sucks, though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431700962951592287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656595739502076040.post-32422260760427465402009-04-16T21:50:00.000-04:002009-04-16T21:50:00.000-04:00What a beautiful post.

I posted on another blog earlier that writers have to be courageous to commit because they never know what will become of their work. Will it fail or succeed? Get praised or scoffed at? And yet still, to make our words truly reach people's hearts, it takes a vulnerability on our part to trust that our honesty will span the gap of the unknown and make an impact. BTW, I am not sure if I just missed it before, but I noticed the summary of your novel on the bottom of the page and I was so intrigued. What a wonderful journey of love and discovery!Cindy R.
