I think this is true. Everyone's journey is different. Sometimes when the contest calls for one personal story, there is no way to comptete against somone who had a more dramatic thing take place in the life. It become not about writing but who had the most newsworthy thing happen to them. We call had work on excelling at our particular strength. Nicely written.

You are right, of course. I should have lengthened this, but I wasn't sure if readers would care about the subject.

Well done
Comment from GoWiSt
"writing about writing about writing" Hmm, clever.
"cannot enter the contest about writing about writing." Boo to the site rules.
"he loved buying small gifts and candy for some of the female employees." I bet he did--naughty Stevie boy.
"Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism" I'm an ardent Randian myself.
"Would you take an orange, a banana, and a watermelon and teach them how to be a proper fruit?" Well, my acquaintances at the local gay bar are experts at this.
"We have no right to inflict our writing views and criticisms to change someone's writing style." Hear, hear--write and let write!
I think God would be okay with us enjoying from our talents a bit--just a bit.

I agree I would be hard to write about writing. Each author, I believe has their own unique voice and the more they write the more they develop that voice. Thank you for sharing.

I couldn't agree more with your post. We are all individuals who have our own POV, meaning that we might not view what's going on the same way as anyone else.
Thanks for sharing.

This is a great way to look at it. Talent is individual and unique and beyond talent is hard word to improve on other skills. Everyone is good at their own thing and artists shouldn't be boxed in when they are creating. Thanks for sharing.

This is so very true when it comes to writing. All of us have our own stylet writing. Some of us are very eclectic in our writing and right about many things others right mainly about one or two particular subjects and they do that well. All writers as you have their weaknesses, but they all have their strengths as well. Patricia.

Thank you, my friend!
Comment from Esther Brown
Jim, how I loved that. You are right, we each have our own style and voice. My brother wrote his memoirs and found he had many wanna be volunteers to edit for him but they changed the voice. His grandson Brayden clicks and is now doing it. Paul reads his parables on two radio stations now (which can be found on paulsparables.com). He has children's stories and adult ones, Grandpa Remembers about being an MK in Africa and grown up stories about life as a missionary. Now that the kids have taken over publishing he was getting discouraged, so I gave him a membership on fanstory to encourage him to keep writing. My sister wrote my mom's memoirs but mom's scribbles in her notes were more meaningful. Lani changed everything to her voice. Your writing style humbles me. You can switch stories and write just about anything. Esther
