All I wanted to do was keep from flunking calculus and here that senior friend of mine had plans for med school applications. I was no where near the apply-for-med school point. So his plan made me feel wobbly, weak, and very, very incapable.<br /><br />Novice writers may feel the same thing. I guess the most important things to remember are 1) keep learning, keep writing and 2) persevere. With experience comes confidence and with confidence comes the courage to look out to the horizon, setting distant goals, and working to get to a better place.Ash Krafton | @ashkraftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958256604970916899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-80874481121827471232016-11-10T01:43:01.386-05:002016-11-10T01:43:01.386-05:00I love plans.

I have a 12 months plan, a 5 year plan, a 20 year plan, a 50 year plan and a thousand year plan (yeah, you heard me).<br /><br />The 50 year plan is the span of my writing career.Her Grace, Heidi, the Duchess of Knealehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818060864422019573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-2521835413260749672016-11-08T16:04:24.454-05:002016-11-08T16:04:24.454-05:00I moved from pantsing my novels to meticulously ou...I moved from pantsing my novels to meticulously outlining, and it really improved writing. This was after years and years of believing that pantsing was the only way that I could truly write. Maybe it's time to give a five-year plan some consideration!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146136846875431598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-20549056426178143692016-11-08T12:43:56.010-05:002016-11-08T12:43:56.010-05:00I too have become a convert to the advantages of p...I too have become a convert to the advantages of planning....
