I keep thinking I should not even try the hard parts of my current project because it would be easier to change the focus and just leave them out, but then I remember I shouldn't be a wimp!<br /><br />I also think the idea of paying it forward is so important. I heard a speaker at an SCBWI conference say once that writers should have one hand forward and one hand back, to help those at earlier stages in the process and to hope those at later stages will remember to look back.Dee Garretsonhttp://deegarretson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-14115769712171458772012-02-02T09:12:43.245-06:002012-02-02T09:12:43.245-06:00I am using my momentum from the SCBWI conference t...I am using my momentum from the SCBWI conference to help other writers, and it's helping me so much too.
