I wish there was a better way to measure improvement in something like writing, but yes. Essentially, the more you practice something, the better you get and of course I feel as though I'm muddling along. It's interesting, too, because I'm finding out about myself in between the lines I write. It's like a reflection - sometimes I like what I see, and sometimes I don't. But I've come to accept it all.

I'm not surprised - I don't think you give yourself enough credit. Not only have you grown, but you weren't bad off to start with! Caliber is all subjective, too. Do I think I have a shot at winning? Not at all. Do others? Maybe. I don't know.

Personally, I like having the time. Not always, though, just this time around. I need to wait until I have an idea, which lately involved mulling it over in my head for a long period of time until there's a burst of inspiration. Then I write, and leave it alone for a while, and then edit like a crazy woman. This is only a recent development, and only for LAS. Of course, now that I've said that, things will go differently.

And you're making me blush! I am hardly the best, though I am tickled that you learned anything from me - that anyone could possibly learn something from me is pleasantly shocking! I've learned from you, too, though. So, while you're more than welcome, I feel I must share some of that gratitude with you. :) Yay, mutual learning!
