Sometimes people say stupid things without thinking about how they hurt others.Carol Steel https://www.blogger.com/profile/01331628292567383426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152150414216028351.post-45122308096944644342012-11-26T22:32:15.739-04:002012-11-26T22:32:15.739-04:00Hi Carole.

I'd also say - blogging is a way to practice writing, to challenge yourself and set goals, and to communicate with other writers. People in stairwells are really just concentrating on not falling down.

I do mind someone blowing me off as not serious about what I am working at learning. I appreciate your perspective on this post.Carol Steel https://www.blogger.com/profile/01331628292567383426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152150414216028351.post-65577147194931762252012-11-21T16:15:23.129-04:002012-11-21T16:15:23.129-04:00Stay the course.

There is so much discipline and focus involved, and the best way forward is just to keep at it.

I was reading an article tonight about Rejection stimulating creativity and I have always found this to be true.. She better look out, she doesn't know what she's triggered.<br />I always call situations like that "Fuel for the Fire" and that starts off the next session of "I'll show them!"<br />I have met many people like her and feel sorry for them, in more ways than one. <br /><br /> Someday she'll be eating her words...
