I've never posted in the successes before, because I've never had one. AAAAhhhhh (I can hear it now).
But something has just occurred to me. I used to write something, put it away for a while, get it out, read it and think - Oh.... sounds like it's been written by a dyslexic termite on tranquilisers.
Now I re-read stuff and I can't actually believe that I have written it. It all sounds right. It's been a slog getting here, but hey, maybe I have already achieved what I wanted to achieve?
Well done Milhouse. It's a great feeling, isn't it, when you read something you've written and think, 'Hey, did I write that? That's fab!' Sometimes the words just come - but after a LOT of practice! I've been writing seriously for years, and only in the last couple of years have I been truly happy with my style. Suppose I must have found my voice.
Good luck to you, Milhouse, dude, it's an amazing feeling.
Good for you Milhouse. We've all been there, looking back at previous work and wondering how we ever came up with that pile of dung. I know I have. But, writing is about building on experience so I'm sure we all still have a lot of learning to do.
It sounds like you're getting there Milhouse. Now,just keep going. Success could be lurking round the next corner. Best of luck. We're all here to cheer you on.
