After I delivered the speech, a creative writing teacher thanked me for stressing the necessity of having others critique/edit our work, because she finds that so many students scoff at the idea. They insist everything they write is their intention and voice and therefore can't be messed with. In sharp contrast, as insecure as I can feel as both a writer and editor, I love how empowering that insecurity truly is! Embracing our weaknesses is the only way to improve in the craft, painful as that is. :) Rumer Havenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051822619760709721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273756139055186208.post-58708761980241928802017-06-02T15:18:28.962+01:002017-06-02T15:18:28.962+01:00I loved this series.

We all write what is in our heads, and so many times there are missing elements that we know but don't impart to our readers!
