Transformed It is better to get to the best you can do versus trying to compete with another writer. Different people have different experiences, time to write, etc.

Transformed The aspiring writer does make it sound like it is something one wants to do, but hasn't mastered yet. But then again, does one ever master writing? Each project is so different and has the potential to offer so many problems or solutions. The professional...

What type of dinner is the one that just takes a person into a state of excitement over how prepared it was? What is the perfect meal?

3 responses

Transformed A meal with a variety of foods is good because the complimentary foods make for a good meal, especially if one is having a meal with a trusted confidante or even if one is alone, such a meal can still be great.

Transformed It is interesting to think that deficient nutrients is also what can contribute to students not performing as well as they could. This will lead some to want to decide to find advantageous ways to do well in academics, but they may not care about ethics and...

Transformed A dog owner always has to be concerned with not only a dog attacking their dog, but perhaps their dog having a bad day and deciding to behave in an aggressive manner against someone else's dog while out on a walk.

Transformed It is wonderful to think of things not just for yourself, but for your family (in the case of a child) to include. A money belt is important because there are often pick-pockets in different places. How is snorkeling? It seems so fascinating.

Transformed One has to always remain careful when thinking about other people, but it would be truly horrible to live in a world where one couldn't even trust another human being. People wouldn't form relationships or live together or develop families.

Transformed Non-fiction has always had a strong audience because of how timely the events of the material usually are. Writers have to keep trying to get their work accepted and not stop when a magazine rejects a story, whether the story is fiction or non-fiction.

Transformed It is a great idea for writers to carry some sort of writing material with them as much as possible. A pencil and a notepad can be a great tool to carry in a bag while walking around during a given day.

Transformed Writing to music has often proven to be quite effective for many writers. It helps one to sometimes think and if one is writing a piece of fiction or poetry, the music can sometimes work as a sort of inspiration or partner.

Transformed Having a writing place near a window would seem to bring on a lot of distraction, particularly if outside the window one could view the activities of a large city or the quiet beauty of a country landscape.
