Some quotes from Ethel Herr you’ll enjoy:
“Many people dream of being writers. Relatively few ever invest the necessary time and energy to become writers. As you no doubt have already discovered, becoming a writer involves a lot of writing.”
“By producing good art, I will satisfy both my imagination and that of my readers. Most important of all, I am responsible through my artistic expression to make order out of chaos of raw life and help my readers do the same.”
“The sharper our skills of observation and perception, the more we will have to say and the better we will be able to say it. Read the parables of Jesus and notice how carefully the Master Communicator observed details and used them in original ways to convey profound messages.”

I am thinking about taking a writing class if they have one at the University……… I long to write but not sure how to say what is in my heart…. I wonder if that is something I can be taught!

Me too, Denise. In fact, I am now looking for an online writing class. I want to learn more about writing. Sometimes, I screw my grammar. I want to improve my writing skill.
