Fun stuff Randy, read a book recently about not beating yourself up too much and appreciate your talents, something we rarely do.. but I've always had a natural writing ability.. can sit down and knock out a profile or travel experience no problem, can do it a little better with a 3 or 4 beer buzz, but can do it sober as well, one time had that buzz going on, words and creativity just flowing, hit save and it went blip, and lost everything, screamed, cats took off, ha ha.. web gal talked me down, said try and recall what you wrote.. and I did, and it was better with my recall.. love the cloud now, saves automatically.. cheers Napa David

In writing, both ideas and their expression matter, but which holds more weight? Ideas arise from critical thinking, a skill that’s harder to teach and develop. In contrast, the rules for crafting a coherent text are typically part of the syllabus, which a teacher assesses. To avoid discouraging students, it’s important to award marks for both content and writing. True willpower is shown by students who are humble enough to accept the truth about their results and, without giving up, continue making efforts to improve.
Your example of combining self-work with professional guidance from quality editors is inspiring.
