I love quotes that transform, thanks for sharing. And I so agree. I cringe to see things I wrote last year, let alone five years ago! But I have learned that good writers are always learning to hone their craft and are always humble enough to seek assistance and direction--when need be. That was a wonderful quote.

I love this quote--and your post today. For myself, I feel the daily guilt of dedicating hours to writing. It's similar to how I felt about being a SAHM: while it is a job--there is no paycheck! However, with practice and prayer--I discovered that I was, as a SAHM, exactly where God had called me to be. 3 birth children and 21 foster children later--I find myself writing. Perhaps I should practice and pray a little longer--and the writers guilt will disipate as well. One thing is certain--I will continue visiting your site! I am blessed to have found it!
