I guess I just mean that your attitude can determine your aptitude. You don't have to face every challenge like a warrior, but don't run away like a chicken either (not saying that you do). Sometimes your strength can surprise you if you give it a chance.Stephanie Damorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01495050993591963629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630091528364380402.post-12170094695568354922009-09-18T10:01:00.376-04:002009-09-18T10:01:00.376-04:00Jen - networking definitely qualifies as progress,...Jen - networking definitely qualifies as progress, even if it can't be quantified through word count.

I feel like I've made some good contacts through my day job and the workshop this week. I'll chalk that up as progress for now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884912115599229843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630091528364380402.post-78688013527933313992009-09-18T02:52:25.720-04:002009-09-18T02:52:25.720-04:00Ooh, I'll be a beta, Bane! I'll be a beta!...Ooh, I'll be a beta, Bane! I'll be a beta! Course, I should probably finish reading the mss I'm already committed to. LOL!<br /><br />Great quote, Steph, only I'm not a terribly brave soul (and I get queasy at the sight of conflict), so mine would read more like...<br /><br />"I lose strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which I fail to look fear in the face... I seldom do that which I think I cannot."<br /><br />It's not completely true, of course, but it feels that way sometimes. Every time I fail to rise to the challenge - stand up to my mother, contradict a boss, finish my revision - I get a little weaker. Must change that.Laura Martonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131901155051433491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630091528364380402.post-91514177283978407332009-09-17T18:17:03.765-04:002009-09-17T18:17:03.765-04:00Let me know - I'll be a beta if you'd like...Let me know - I'll be a beta if you'd like.
