I agree wi...I'm sorry I'm a day late, Gail.<br />I agree with Barbara Kingsolver that we should write what we believe in, what we want to say, rather than write what others want or expect from us. Every story in some respects is a spiritual activity. We can kill our creativity and inner truth by unleashing our inner critic while we're still writing that first draft. <br />Loved the quotes, Gail.<Sarah J.
