Agree or disagree...just something to think about.
Write on.

I think I would have to agree. Personally I'm really good at 1, 4 and 5, but I'm still struggling with 3 and 6. :)

Oops. Struggling with 3 and 7. 6 I'm mostly good on, I think, but sometimes when I've fallen into the dumps due to my difficulties with 7, I lose grasp of 6 for a while too.

1. Dream: Yep, all the time, even while awake :). A lot of my inspiration for stories come to me in the form of dreams. 2. Have courage: I don't mind taking a risk (and suffer the consequences) 3. Be disciplined: Total failure on this one... 4. Renew your love of stories by reading: Absolutely, I love reading. 5. Be a continuous learner: You're never too old to learn (or so they say) but it does get harder. Escpecially with my discease/disorder. 6. Appreciate your unique gifts: What gift? Anybody can write, right? It's not always easy to consider yourself "gifted", but I'm getting better at it. 7. Take nothing personally: Something I learned working as a computer tech. Some people can get very angry when their computer isn't working the way they want. I know it's different when you get bad comments on your writings, but if you can't take it, don't show your work to the public...
