Recently I was cleaning out my desk and came across a story I had written a few years ago. When I had first done it I was thinking that it was the best thing I had ever created....LOL...
Urm boy was I wrong. I started to read it over and saw how much I have learned over the years when it comes to my writing. I grabbed the red marker and started to mark up that baby like nobody's business. All I could think to myself was OMG what was I thinking when I wrote this.
I was green. What does that mean? It is a term I came up with to call someone who is fresh and just learning the ins and outs of writing correctly. I was new and just starting out to write professionally. I didn't know all the things that I know now.
Years later I still have much more to learn. That is something that never stops. I even still find myself making mistakes that are obvious. When you have done it for such a ling time it takes a while to get out of that.
I have taken the step to read books and learn to better myself at this craft. To improve on the things I struggle with. Every book I write teaches me more and more, and I love that.
Have any of you found a story you had done a while back and read it to see how much you have learned?

YAY Savannah!!!! All I'm saying is I have voted for several of my different friends, depending on category from MSA.
*yes you were one of them* ;-D
C.A thank you so much, I can't thank you enough.
Wow that is awesome, congrats!!!
It's funny you wrote about this, though I'm not a "writer" writer, I do write, and I found a short story I wrote about 6 years ago (I was 16) and OMG I wanted to cringe! The idea was good, but the writing was awful!!!!!! I didn't even know how badly I wrote back then, I was going to take a pen myself and make notations, but it was so horrible it would just be a waste of a pen. I figured I'd put it away again, and when I have time and feel up to it, just re-write the whole thing over.
I know exactly how you felt. And I am still green myself.
I had already voted for you and Adrianne! LOL
Saturnmoonie, i think it always helps to step away from your work for a bit...it makes a difference to see it with fresh eyes and when you have had a break from it...
Ava, it is something that always amazes me...I always learn something new...
Thank you so much by the way for the vote. It means so much to me
Yay Savannah for all of the nominations. I already voted for you and I have my fingers crossed.
As for the learning...I so agree that learning never stops. And I hope mine never does. If there's no room for improvement then why continue?
