That has a nice ring to it...practice creates excellence.<br /><br />Katie, Yeah Bball coach. Isn't it cool the lessons we learn along the way that can relate to writing? And thanks for doing what you did on your blog today!<br /><br />Terri, I was just thinking about that yesterday. I always want to look back and think of how much I've grown--in every situation, with everything.<br /><br />MK, Yes, that's something to hope on. ;)<br /><br />Sarah, You know what they say about great minds (great headshot btw).<br /><br />Lisa! Woo Hoo! That has to feel good to say!<br /><br />Tamika, I'm hoping on all of those for you someday.<br /><br />Eileen, Yep, nice one. Goes hand in hand w/ dedication.<br /><br />Erica, Does it scare you I listened to it a dozen times while writing the post? :D<br /><br />Heidi, I get it and it might be my fav. on here. I guess b/c I so get it. Hey, I cannot comment on your blog posts. Contact me or I'll try to get in touch w/ you to tell you how that might be fixed.<br /><br />Lindsay, I don't even know you, but the first impression you've left makes me want and hope for the same thing for you. So glad you are here! Here's to hoping you feel welcome here now and always.<br /><br />Jill, Spurred so many questions. Wasted years? Can't turn back? In so far? Okay, there are just three, but I'm thinking that's enough. You threw me w/ your comment.<br /><br />Mel, I'm with you. We'll keep plugging away and someday we'll be able to look at each other and call each other masters of the craft (and hopefully not laugh too hard b/c it sounds like something straight out of Star Wars).<br /><br />QS, Love that you sang! :D And I like both thoughts you added. Professional, absolutely and that would be the goal...positive steps.<br /><br />Karen, You make a woman proud!<br /><br />Thanks for sounding off (ha! the singing) on this one. Clearly, I've hit goofy mode, so it's time to wrap it up for me. "Know when to walk away" right? ;)<br /><br />~ WendyWendy Paine Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136235074351188350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-4315708702675780652011-10-17T14:07:29.200-07:002011-10-17T14:07:29.200-07:00Practice makes me devour chocolate at an amazing s...Practice makes me devour chocolate at an amazing speed. :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17012982939454873340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-14677650357126596262011-10-17T13:44:49.199-07:002011-10-17T13:44:49.199-07:00Wendy:

Practice makes positive steps.<br /><br />I started a story back in the summer, I shared the information on a web site I belong to. I got pulled away from it. Lately, I've gotten several comments on my posting. I believe God is trying to tell me something, like, get to practicing. <br /> "Know when to hold them; know when to fold them."

I'm new to your blog (was referred by Katie's blog!).<br /><br />I'll go with a slightly longer version...Practice makes it so we're one step closer to our ultimate goal. <br /><br />You can't get to the goal without practice, like you and others have said. <br /><br />Like Lisa, hopefully I'll make it to that goal of publication, one comma, period, and semi-colon at a time!Lindsay Harrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379628592162011068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-88554951205911400912011-10-17T08:01:18.848-07:002011-10-17T08:01:18.848-07:00Practice makes perseverance.

Does that make sense? :)<br />I love Hebrews 12:1 and think of it often on my writing journey.<br /><br />"Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition through sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."<br /><br />I love Lisa's too! ;)Heidi Chiavarolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372293274825733131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-23718898980116041382011-10-17T07:20:45.601-07:002011-10-17T07:20:45.601-07:00Kenny Rogers earwig song...check.
