For me time does seem to be the key to growth as a writer. Also I've learned so much about the business end from RWA, which plays back into the writing end of things, I believe. Not saying I would have been a person who fell for vanity publishing a la Harlequin Horizons, but not sure I wouldn't have spun some wheels there without RWA.Anna Richlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758472429790528680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-66487492396147452102010-01-12T13:50:52.489-08:002010-01-12T13:50:52.489-08:00Hold on, Kate!

Why? The process is forcing me to limit the time I spend grading, etc. I have to carve out some time for ME.<br /><br />And as soon as my portfolio is done, I'm going to reapply that me time to my novel.<br /><br />Hurry, April 1st... you can't get here fast enough!Kate Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987438202240646062noreply@blogger.com
