That we either have talent or we don't? I remind myself of the countless experiments I did in college and how much tweaking was involved to get one to work correctly! <br /><br />Thanks for the reminder!Jill Kemererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865493609868329393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366860579038899381.post-61385286547957739742009-11-05T19:07:05.732-05:002009-11-05T19:07:05.732-05:00I'm having one of those days today too!

And I truly find that a blessing! And for most of us, that's what blogging should really be about at this point! The marketing and platforming can come in time. But as we struggle to write our stories and improve the craft, we shouldn't worry about how big of a platform we can build or how many followers we have! But instead take advantage of such awesome advice and friendships! :)Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366860579038899381.post-17680813299032792462009-11-04T19:24:02.774-05:002009-11-04T19:24:02.774-05:00Oh man I've been there!

But you keep moving forward because a small part (sometimes so small it's almost invisible) believes in yourself and wants you to suceed, and knows that you will succeed.<br /><br />Hang in there, and always feel free to use your blog to vent!MeganRebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285116194891827858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366860579038899381.post-78162560776304740512009-11-04T18:58:51.534-05:002009-11-04T18:58:51.534-05:00I've had those moments, too.

You are SO not alone girl. Then after some revision, it turns into something a little less stinky than crap. Only after several revisions does it start to smell a little appealing. :)Katie Gansherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150375338556869812noreply@blogger.com
