LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that...I concur with everyone else. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that you tell it like it is. It's been my experience in life that there is a large contingent of people in this world who have no or low self-esteem. Consequently, they feel the need to create standards that they apply to everyone in order for that person to be acceptable. <br /><br />My view is that life is hard enough without placing difficult or impossible to meet standards on ourselves or others. It is better to encourage one another and be joyful for one another. That does more for everyone in the end.Lawfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07099970602815308684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045121650813384646.post-50406477172132006082009-11-24T08:29:19.187-06:002009-11-24T08:29:19.187-06:00This is such a good post and I love that you speak...This is such a good post and I love that you speak your mind too!<br /><br />You sound like other writers I know. But as Cari says, I've met a bunch of awesome writers who do accept us no matter where we are in our writing career. On the other hand, there are the snobs who are just the way you say. I stay away from the ones who, 'heft our noses into the air' (great line btw)<br /><br />About HQN-- it's a hard hitting thing, and RWA thinks so too. It's just wrong in my opinion. But as I've said to others lately-- they are slipping on quality and going for the sales instead of good writing. (You should here me shouting about one particular line that I've been targeting and the quality-- you don't want to hear!)<br /><br />Keep on speaking out, Jaime. We love you doing it.Kaye Manrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03639814610213100626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045121650813384646.post-41712435722013343252009-11-24T07:31:31.298-06:002009-11-24T07:31:31.298-06:00Hey Everyone ;)
All of you ladies are great, and ...Hey Everyone ;)<br /><br />All of you ladies are great, and I agree with Shelley that we all have our own stuff going on and what not. I just read some really catty stuff regarding people that are considered "writers" versus those that are not and couldn't understand the need for the clarification. <br /><br />=)J.A.

This doesn't just happen in the world of writing.<br /><br />I tend to do my own thing and try not to worry about everyone else. I'm too busy at the moment to worry about anything except my stuff. :-)Shelley Munrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090469550227550713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045121650813384646.post-24209953288760687762009-11-24T00:45:51.323-06:002009-11-24T00:45:51.323-06:00*thumbs up*

I'd write more but I'm to...*thumbs up*<br /><br />;)<br /><br />I'd write more but I'm too tired to make it sound good!<br /><br />Well done, lady!Jacqueline Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913178962143313157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045121650813384646.post-17441431197036692022009-11-23T20:22:58.988-06:002009-11-23T20:22:58.988-06:00Sing it, sister! We've talked about this befor...Sing it, sister! We've talked about this before and I'm in complete agreement. The only person I'm really in competition with is ME. I'm the only one who controls whether I become a better writer, which is what will allow me to reach my dreams. If I'm honest, I have to remind myself this a lot, because the green-eyed monster pops out now and then. But I also know there are so many great authors who have been nothing but gracious, and that's the kind of author - and person - I'd rather be. Besides, arrogance give you wrinkles. ;)<br /><br />Oh, and btw, I love that you speak your mind. There are way too many people who don't in this world.Cari Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581235338272282124noreply@blogger.com
