I think reading helps enrich my writing too because it often offers up a new perspective for me.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865193802444007545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-62687210400910600702017-02-02T18:02:39.045-05:002017-02-02T18:02:39.045-05:00Yes, when I think "I wish I'd wrote that&...Yes, when I think "I wish I'd wrote that" then that is my aspiration.

I try to not be super picky when I read - I just want to escape. But I do notice quality.<br />As a writer, I am more critical of myself (as we all are) - we want the reader to have that pause...that moment of wow.<br />You are there ( I think) in many of your poems and posts - you truly put in the word effort and it showsJoannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604494404874408870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-50454036313313119662017-02-01T10:27:12.706-05:002017-02-01T10:27:12.706-05:00You are a beautiful writer.

Just like if I'm watching a good film I don't notice the camera work. If I'm reading essays or poetry I do notice the writing in quite a different way. I will think on this some more.<br /><br />I love your poetry and not surprised one bit that your teacher was envious of your line.
