I'm glad you took the time to reflect and share.<br /><br />>>And I realised the best way to BE a writer, is to be WITH writers - to share work and learn from each other.<<<br /><br />Whether online or in workshops, or just a group of friends. So true.<br /><br />>>So - do I think writing can be taught? No, not really. You've got it or you haven't. But, can a writer attending a course be nurtured, prodded, challenged, pushed to deliver their best work?<<<br /><br />Again, I think you're exactly right.<br /><br />And congrats on all of your work. ;-)Louhttp://theblockhouse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
