I think it's harder because now you have deadlines, edits, sales numbers, and all kinds of pressures affecting your writing. <br /><br />Writing isn't easy, but once you do it, you'll find it can be very rewarding.Lisa Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16334253815212707025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757067787158700689.post-15958563174370003062011-03-11T11:44:23.101-06:002011-03-11T11:44:23.101-06:00That's so true!

I used to get caught up in the "if only's", like "if only THIS agent would look at my work" or "if only I could have gone to that conference, then I might be further along in my writing journey" but once I learned to accept that each moment of writing is going to be a challenge, I started to look at it in a new way. I enjoy challenges and if they're challenges regarding something I'm passionate about, then bring it on!Cindy R.
