I didn't realize they weren't talking about picture book manuscripts.

Writing is a process...and the learning never ends. But that's why we all chose to be in this business. If we could get to a point where we know everything and stop having banana peelin' moments...well, what fun would that be?NATASHA YIMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293576071916842414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176180375855419631.post-26924144362766647062012-02-29T13:00:59.751-08:002012-02-29T13:00:59.751-08:00I have a close friend who thinks she's pretty ...I have a close friend who thinks she's pretty good at predicting spring.

Being able to post this on your blog means that you have one of the most important qualities in a successful writer: being able to put ourselves out there even if it means others will see us fail.<br /><br />And I really, really miss Friday Night Lights.
