Kristin, that’s so true! I have been writing for years, and have only recently begun to express myself well in my writing (although I do outline – I’m no Stephen King, after all!). It took those years of training and really learning to write while I juggled life, and I’m still learning more every day. I do feel a sense of progression with each new story I begin and I do understand structure better than I did when I first began writing.

Had to modify my blog – http://talshadar.wordpress.com/.

Thank you very much for the information you’ve shared (in this article and others) – it has totally revamped my plan for the career I hope to have as a writer.
