You think you are just muddling along? Like the new kid introduced to a shiny new playground? That's how I feel! I haven't done any real writing since I left high school (you know how old I am) except for a writing course that my son did and I went along as well. For me, this has been more a case of keeping my hand in with all the goodness there is to read! But I am happy with how much I have learned about writing, and even I can see how much I have improved since I started last October. I'll never be good enough to publish, but that's alright, it was never my goal. I just do this because I enjoy it. Like you, I enjoy that the TW characters are already drawn for me, I don't have to think about them, and I know that my readers don't have to think about them either. I can concentrate on the story I want to tell, without all the background filler.

Personally, I'm surprised that I'm still in LAS as well. I thought for sure I'd be out within the first couple of challenges. The caliber of writing is far superior to mine, it is really stretching me to keep up. I can't believe we have more than a month to get the next one out. Yuck. Too long! I'll either do it now and forget about it, or leave it until the last minute. Piecemeal doesn't work well for me. All or nothing seems to be the only way I can work. My WIP folder is proof positive of that. If it's left too long, it's left for good.

My long-winded point, which I'm not sure I ever actually tried to get across, is that I have learned an awful lot from you. Thanks. You're the best!
