As a writer, I am a work-in-progress, always learning, constantly growing, forever evolving... challenging myself to take the next step... not to be afraid of failure.
I
am not the writer I was yesterday, nor the one I will become tomorrow.
Some
writers are on a slow track. I am one of those “slow-trackers” *raises hand*
Others
seem to have outdistanced the rest of us.
The
truth is, we all work at our own pace.
But
we never stop growing, learning, moving along...
Eventually,
everyone will cross the finish line.
What
is the finish line, anyway?
We
cannot even see the finish line.
Nor
do we know what the finish line even is.
It
differs for each individual. But that’s a conversation for another day...
I
wonder if I will ever cross that finish line?
Hi Michelle ... yes we're all WIPs ... and as long as we keep learning, show we're interested our WIPs will keep getting better ... Good Luck - you will Win through .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI think we cross the finish line the day we die because we'll always be changing and growing. Or at least, we should be.
ReplyDeleteWe are either learning and growing or we're dying and going backwards.
ReplyDeleteYes! I think it so important to never stop learning and growing.
ReplyDeleteI think it's so important to realize we're always learning and growing. It's helps us be better people.

a bit philosophic today, but point taken
ReplyDeleteIt only takes looking back at earlier work to see how much I've learned as a writer. Need to keep at it.
ReplyDeleteIt's important to realize that we're always growing and changing. We're all works in progress!
ReplyDeleteMy latest post for the Blogging A to Z Challenge.
Yea, we are all WIP's! Growing and learning is key to progress :)
ReplyDeleteDo you mind sharing the slow track? I prefer it out here where I can see and enjoy the sights as I pass.
ReplyDeleteYou made some good points.... but what is the "finish Line"...???
ReplyDelete(other than "Death")
Wonderful post, Michelle. I feel the same way. A work-in-progress. Happy to be here learning.
ReplyDeleteThere are other things in life besides writing. I love learning and growing too and sometimes that takes precedence over writing. Great post!
ReplyDeleteStep by step.
ReplyDeleteHands up from this 'slow poke' with an insecurity complex. But I know I must be learning as a writer... and as a w-reader.
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope to cross my finish line.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm on the slow track, too, but I'm having a great time!
ReplyDeleteI'm a work in progress too. We are all though, I think. It's important to keep learning and growing - it's the only way we're going to get better.
ReplyDeletewe can't even see what is beyond the bend of the road, let alone the finish line... ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you to all who visited/left a comment!
ReplyDeleteI'm a slow tracker as well. And like my aunt likes to say, "keep going." That's all we can do (and I'll be right behind you but maybe not that close).
