When we are in our zone, our cave, or wherever we do our thang, we often feel like the one wearing the Royal Crown while editing just masterfully. If you've been at this long enough you know that it is the editing that makes the story. With the proper training we place our created thought-beings (characters) where they need to be. We leave hints so the reader can know where to go without knowing what will go down. We create environments which reflect moods ours and theirs. We do so many things (sometime all within the first 3-5 pages) and I am not trying to take anything away from what we do; but we forget we're not the only one doing this. Or is it just me? I don't think it's just me because we all ask for help, but we don't want to be tore down. We sometimes just want our ego stroke. We want our art acknowledged by those other than loved ones and the average reader. We want someone who can walk in our shoes tell and us they feel each and every step; meaning they, a fellow writer, can see the genius in our creation the way we see it without it being publishable. SMH I've come to realize that to cut miles off my journey as a writer, I have to admit I'm not the only one good at what I do. I'm not the only "expert" even if I know more about the field than others who are doing what I do. I have learned so much about language, expectations, and design outside of the land of Welnikov and Mow Yen by seeing the genius in other writers. There are others who will teach you without knowing they are teaching you if you show up and be humble. Yeah, we know what we know when it comes to our world that we're creating; but we don't know enough to be experts in the world which we live in- even in the field of writing. Whether you be J.K. Rowling or Steven King, this is the case. All the experts have left the building and only us mostly blissful, active participants are still here. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle
