I'm just a writer. Sometimes I write really great stuff. Most of the time, I struggle and write stuff I know could be so much better. Sometimes I get published and even win awards, but most of the time I get rejected and try again. Just because you're published doesn't mean you're wonderful or that you write wonderful things all the time. So try to be kind to yourselves and to each other (and me). Writing is hard, man!!  I'm just hoping to get some thoughts and reactions so I can make the projects I'm working on better or figure out how to save them if they are complete crap. And I'm looking forward to reading your writing too!!
