This second 8 weeks of my semester is killing me and I have had no time for fun (like writing poetry). The last time I wrote one was on Valentine's Day. April has been crazy-busy and I don't see it slowing up until May. Hope you are doing well!!! Sounds like your class is going great!

First of all, when someone is explaining how your work can be improved, listen. A lady in my fiction group drives me nuts when she interrupts by saying, "Oh well, I wrote it that way because..." At least consider the suggestion, and don't reject it outright. Of course in the end, this is your story, poem, essay, etc. There's no rule that says you have to do what others suggest.<br /><br />Also, some people just aren't open to change, and a good example is the lady I mentioned earlier who often says, "Oh, I don't want to write it that way because..." There's not much you can do in this situation, but sometimes, I wonder why I should bother making suggestions if she's just going to reject them outright, but like the gambler who keeps feeding coins into the slot machine at a casino, I'm occasionally rewarded when she takes one of my suggestions to heart. That's what keeps me going.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
