The third by is by far more intrinistic and throughly written. I can only hope to improve with each writing. Do I have enough confidence in myself yet? Smiles. I'm getting there, one word at a time. I think believing in yourself is half the task.

I've read a lot of great writers claim they have a little talent but through hard work and desire have made the most of it. Maybe they're just being modest, but I think writing is one art where a lot of ground can be made by writing and reading and studying what works and what doesn't.Brian Yanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16338795130182877245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6967308592064240861.post-86291621977671237772010-02-13T08:02:41.886-08:002010-02-13T08:02:41.886-08:00Good post!
