I think that in many of our endeavors we have to put on the right hat for the job, metaphorically speaking.<br /><br />On another note, I never had any desire to act or to do anything with acting when I was growing up, but in recent years, probably as I have begun to develop as a writer and to express myself, I have a feeling that I would rather enjoy it.Tony Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09517279281978677708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-66998578058631488602011-04-29T05:54:35.815-07:002011-04-29T05:54:35.815-07:00Hi Sarah, I nominated you for an award on my blog...Hi Sarah, I nominated you for an award on my blog.

Be that that you are! Real.

I believe this post was written just for me. I've wanted to write a book for as long as I can remember. I keep looking up and days, weeks, months, years keep passing by. I think too much. Before putting one work on paper I'm already analyzing my "audience", trying to figure out what they want to hear and not thinking enough about what I have to say, what I want to write. Just recently, in the middle of the night I wrote these words by book lamp, "This book is dedicated to me. It will be like my own coming out party." Your post confirms. <br />Thank you for this great and timely post. Best wishes on your writing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-79650093988785477762011-04-26T16:54:07.514-07:002011-04-26T16:54:07.514-07:00What an awesome post.

There are even times during this blog challenge when I've felt that way - like I had to conform my posts in some way - keep them short so people would stay to read - stuff like that. I feel like my blog should be what I want to say, the way I want to say it, and when I did that, I sometimes got fewer readers, but those that did stay to read really connected. That means more to me. So great lesson, and well put.Melissa Ann Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454907380469372468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-3093130521871998152011-04-26T11:56:38.150-07:002011-04-26T11:56:38.150-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.E.

Yes, we can overanalyze and get so uptight the words get all blocked up, when if we just let them flow, generally the voice finds itself.Beverly Diehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392288953821757887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-6782561197669715492011-04-26T10:11:25.480-07:002011-04-26T10:11:25.480-07:00That's an excellent comparison.

We're too used to it because it's the lens through which we always view the world. We think our voice sounds "normal" or "boring". But to people who aren't us, it is unique and different. We need to just write from our creative brain and trust that our voice is there.Sarah McCabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985261436020635823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-87585592991513944912011-04-26T08:00:32.703-07:002011-04-26T08:00:32.703-07:00Absolutely excellent.
