All I have to do is push "publish" and I instantly think of three or four or even a dozen ways I could have revised my post! And I'm on the "new" end with 250 posts (I never dreamed I would get past 10!)!<br /><br />Congratulations! You are on a great learning journey!Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10642159125070466981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608822337507338034.post-65958937337211630292015-07-28T22:45:27.539-04:002015-07-28T22:45:27.539-04:00Thank you for your encouragement!

It's been an exciting journey. So glad you're stepping out of your comfort zone. It's hard work, but it's worth it.

Since you're a reader too, you may want to join the Monday group too called "It's Monday, What Are You Reading", supported by two different blogs, Teach Mentor Texts and Unleashing Readers. You accomplished so much & that means to me that you've written and written and written some more, but mostly academia pieces. Perhaps the more personal writing will be more fun, maybe not, but congratulations for starting!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608822337507338034.post-19484646608885307292015-07-28T16:25:12.337-04:002015-07-28T16:25:12.337-04:00I've heard of such a thing as writers who find...I've heard of such a thing as writers who find it joyful to write, but I'll confess that I never do. I love wrestling with a piece when I've got something I think is worth writing.

Most of those words stay in my private journal, but many end up as posts in one form or another. The most difficult thing to do is share. So, kudos to you for taking the leap. I hope that someday writing becomes a joy for you (as it completely is for me).Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09203063429894173407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608822337507338034.post-31282566069602959202015-07-28T13:10:11.629-04:002015-07-28T13:10:11.629-04:00Excellent first post for SOL!
